Allocation of Indivisible Items With a Common Preference Graph: Minimizing Total Dissatisfaction
Networks, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Allocating indivisible items among a set of agents is a frequently studied discrete optimization problem. In the setting considered in this work, the agents' preferences over the items are assumed to be identical. We consider a very recent measure for the overall quality of an allocation which does not rely on numerical valuations of the items.

Oikos, EarlyView.Structural equation modelling (SEM) has become a cornerstone tool in ecology for testing hypotheses about causal relationships and disentangling direct and indirect effects. However, its growing use has led to frequent conceptual and methodological misapplications.

Machine Learning for Thermodynamic States of Notional Nonideal Energetic Mixtures
Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.. ABSTRACT Currently, modeling the thermodynamic states in the reaction zone of a detonating energetic mixture entails iteratively solving a set of coupled differential equations that require detailed material property information or models whose empirical parameters must be physically measured.

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The circular economy (CE) is increasingly promoted as a strategy for addressing environmental degradation and resource inefficiencies. Despite growing policy support, CE implementation remains fragmented in many resource‐intensive industries, particularly in emerging economies. This study investigates barriers to CE adoption in China's textile

Logical reframing: A theory‐based view of entrepreneurial persuasion
Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Research Summary Prior literature that addresses how entrepreneurs systematically deal with Knightian uncertainty has primarily focused on individual entrepreneurs but has largely neglected that, to be successful, entrepreneurs must also persuade others of their view of the future.

Salient Rewards, Payoff Protocols and Biased Data
Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Paying salient rewards to subjects is expensive. Is it worth it? We describe previous data from otherwise identical treatments with hypothetical or salient payoffs that indicate opposite conclusions about the central research question in a paper. If we are going to pay salient rewards, how should we? The answer depends on the theoretical model

Contemporary and Future Challenges for Structured Democratic Dialogue
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Structured Democratic Dialogue (SDD) is a participatory problem structuring methodology grounded in Structured Dialogic Design Science. It was created to help diverse stakeholders co‐construct influence maps that reveal leverage points and support coordinated action.

Transitive Reduction in Parallel via Branchings [PDF]
, 1988 The authors study the following problem: given a strongly connected digraph, find a minimal strongly connected spanning subgraph of it. Their main result is a parallel algorithm for this problem, which runs in polylog parallel time and uses O(n{sup 3}) processors on a PRAM.

Toward an Intermediate Structural Representation of Organization in Complex Systems
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Organization is widely recognized as a fundamental concept in complex systems science, yet it rarely appears as an explicit object of scientific representation. Existing approaches successfully represent components, interactions, mechanisms, dynamical states, networks, or functions, but organizational properties are generally inferred from ...
