The Geography of Success: A Spatial Analysis of Export Intensity in the Italian Wine Industry

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the paradox of how Italy's fragmented, SME‐dominated wine industry achieves global export success. Moving beyond purely firm‐centric explanations, we test whether export intensity is spatially dependent, clustering geographically in regional ecosystems.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF SIMPLE LIVING, NATURE, AND SELF-RELIANCE IN HENRY DAVID THOREAU’S WALDEN

open access: yesLex localis - Journal of Local Self-Government
Walden; or, Life in the Woods by Henry David Thoreau is at the heart of American literature since it has combined philosophical thought, social commentary and nature writing into one literary piece. The paper explores Walden as a key pronouncement of simple living, spirituality and intellectual worth of nature, principle of self-reliance, and ...

Metaphilosophical themes : naturalism, rationalism and the conceptions of philosophy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
This study belongs firmly to the genre of metaphilosophy, as it reflects on topics pertaining to the subject matter, method and aim of philosophy itself by using philosophy’s own usual tools and approaches.

How Does Patient Capital Enhance Agribusiness Resilience? Evidence From Chinese Listed Agribusinesses

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In emerging economies where smallholder farming dominates agricultural production, agribusinesses serve as critical intermediaries linking smallholders to broader markets, and their resilience directly affects agricultural sustainability. Short‐term‐oriented capital is reluctant to adequately finance highly uncertain and cyclical agricultural ...

Self‐Driving Laboratory Optimizes the Lower Critical Solution Temperature of Thermoresponsive Polymers

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
A low‐cost, self‐driving laboratory is developed to democratize autonomous materials discovery. Using this "frugal twin" hardware architecture with Bayesian optimization, the platform rapidly converges to target lower critical solution temperature (LCST) values while self‐correcting from off‐target experiments, demonstrating an accessible route to data‐

Bond Energy Descriptors Enable Machine Learning With Limited Data: Design of Capping Agents for Thermoplastic Polyurethane Recycling

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Data scarcity is a critical bottleneck for machine learning in applied chemistry. We show that physics‐informed descriptors enable a simple linear model to predict the deblocking temperatures of capped diisocyanates to within 11 °C from just 19 measurements, demonstrating that embedding physical insight into descriptors, rather than relying on ...

A Two‐Stage Characterization Pipeline and Open‐Source Framework for Reproducible Tactile Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The same soft tactile sensor returns different numbers when embodied in different robots. This is an Embodiment Gap that no shared framework currently captures transparently. A two‐stage characterization pipeline, paired with a FAIR open‐source digital datasheet, decouples intrinsic sensor behavior from embodiment effects and condenses cross‐laboratory

The Collective Power of Bacteria as a Blueprint for Emergent Intelligence

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Small cells, powerful collectives. Bacteria demonstrate how sophisticated behaviors can emerge from many simple individuals working together. We explore the remarkable world of bacterial communities and the mechanisms that underpin their complex emergent behaviors, enabling impressive adaptability, robustness, and responsiveness to changing ...
