Design Optimization of Soft Fabric Pneumatic Actuators

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a systematic optimization framework for elongating and bending fabric‐based soft pneumatic actuators. After a preliminary design‐space reduction, the framework minimizes energy consumption under mechanical performance constraints by integrating validated finite element modeling with statistical surrogate models. Optimal designs were

Food inflation pass‐through from agricultural imports in a small open economy

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper develops a new framework for quantifying cost pass‐through in a small open economy by estimating firm‐level markup responses to agricultural import price shocks. We show theoretically that markup adjustments depend on firms' reliance on imported inputs and demand curvature, generating heterogeneous inflationary effects across firm ...

Assessing the Feasibility of Wearable Devices for Physiological Monitoring and Heat Risk Prediction in Outdoor Agricultural Workers

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Outdoor agricultural workers experience significant heat exposure, yet few studies have evaluated whether wearable sensors can reliably measure continuous physiological responses in real field conditions. This pilot study examined the feasibility and predictive utility of core temperature, hydration, heart rate, and movement data ...

Radiative Hybrid Nanofluid Flow Over a Porous Riga Surface: A Fuzzy–ANN Modeling Approach

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study proposes a fuzzy–ANN model to investigate the nonlinear thermal transport in a tangent hyperbolic (Tanh) hybrid nanofluid flow past a porous Riga surface, considering the effects of Rosseland diffusion, chemical reactions, and internal volumetric heating.

Thermoelectric Response and Field‐Induced Figure of Merit in Fluorine–Doped Carbon Nanotube Using the Lorenz Number

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
Thermoelectric conductivity decreases nonlinearly with increasing temperature for all investigated band‐gap values. Higher energy splitting yields lower conductivity, while smaller gaps maintain superior carrier transport. Peak response occurs at low temperature, followed by gradual saturation at elevated temperatures.

Digital innovation for a greener future: the role of artificial intelligence in Europe's biofuel transition

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) development and biofuel production using a balanced panel dataset of 12 European Union (EU) countries over the 2008–2024 period. Employing feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) estimation with distributed lag specifications, the analysis controls for Renewable ...

The Contingent Eco‐Innovation–Firm Performance Link: A Global Systematic Literature Review and Future Research Agenda

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The relationship between eco‐innovation (EI) and firm performance (FP) is central to environmental management research, yet empirical evidence remains fragmented and highly context dependent. This article presents a global systematic literature review (SLR) of 541 empirical studies (2006–April 2025) to (i) diagnose the systematic sources of ...

When the Remedy Is Worse Than the Illness: Carbon Performance and Growth Opportunities Under the EU ETS

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines how the European Union Emissions Trading System allowance prices reshape the link between corporate environmental performance (CEP) and firms' growth expectations, measured by Tobin's Q. Using a panel of 1370 listed firms across 15 European countries from 2005 to 2024 and high‐dimensional fixed‐effects models, we first ...

Innovation Pathways to Carbon Efficiency: Disentangling the Effects of AI, R&D, and Clean Energy Blessings on U.S. Environmental Sustainability

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The United States (U.S.) faces challenges in achieving its ambitious net‐zero carbon emissions target by 2050, with current emissions having fallen by less than 1% in 2024. Despite an investment of $500 billion in low‐carbon resources while holding the second‐largest green technology patent portfolio globally, it is further imperative to ...
