DRAWING THE PROFILE OF EFFICIENT FOOD INDUSTRIES-VERTICAL INTEGRATION, ECONOMIES OF SCALE, AND LOCATION ADVANTAGES IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF PRODUCTS: A CASE STUDY FROM THE GREEK FOOD INDUSTRY [PDF]

open access: yes
A stochastic frontier production function that incorporates a model for technical inefficiency effects is used to investigate the industrial production of Greek food industries. Panel data comes from 29 Greek firms in 1988 through 1992.

Parametric Analysis of Spiking Neurons in 16 nm Fin Field‐Effect Transistor Technology

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Energy efficient computing has driven a shift toward brain‐inspired neuromorphic hardware. This study explores the design of three distinct silicon neuron topologies implemented in 16 nm fin field‐Effect transistor technology. While the Axon‐Hillock design achieves gigahertz throughput, its functional fragility persists. The Morris–Lecar model captures

Multi‐Property Machine Learning Models to Accelerate the Transition Toward Bio‐Based Emulsion Polymers

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
A machine learning framework simultaneously predicts four critical properties of monomers for emulsion polymerization: propagation rate constant, reactivity ratios, glass transition temperature, and water solubility. These tools can be used to systematically identify viable bio‐based monomer pairs as replacements for conventional formulations, with ...
