Techno‐Economic Analysis of Polylactic Acid from Corn Stover: Understanding Uncertainty and Variability via Artificial Intelligence Tools

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This study analyses the uncertainty and variability existing in the economic performance of polylactic acid (PLA) production, via integrating techno‐economic analysis with process models and Monte Carlo simulation enabled by artificial intelligence. The results show that the minimum selling price varies from $2,107 to $3076/t PLA.

The equilibrium of cloud manufacturing system under cost uncertainty

Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2017
In this paper, we explore the equilibrium problem of cloud manufacturing system (CMfgS) with cost uncertainty. We propose a CMfgS supernetwork model in which decision-makers (resource service providers (RSPs), the agent and resource service demanders ...

Population‐Based Multi‐Omics and Cohort Study Identifying Predictive Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets for Psoriatic Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Psoriatic disease (PsD) is a chronic skin disease, with challenges in early risk stratification and drug development. Through gene‐level causal inference framework and expression level validation, combined with longitudinal cohort study, CDSN and PRSS8 have been identified as candidate biomarkers and therapeutic targets for PsD.

Why are lotteries valued less? Multiple tests of a direct risk-aversion mechanism

Judgment and Decision Making, 2012
Recent studies have identified the uncertainty effect (UE), whereby risky prospects (e.g., a binary lottery that offers either a $50 or $100 gift certificate) are valued less than their worst possible outcome (a $50 certificate).

Dorsal Raphe VIP Neurons Are Critical for Survival‐Oriented Vigilance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
DRNVIP neurons in mice and primates are strategically positioned to influence the central extended amygdala via feedback loops. They regulate the excitability of PKC‐δ neurons in the ovBNST and CeA through glutamate release. Their ablation heightens activity in these regions, disrupts active‐phase sleep architecture, enhances risk assessment behaviors ...

Risk aversion and uncertainty create a conundrum for planning recovery of a critically endangered species

Conservation Science and Practice, 2019
Making transparent and rational decisions to manage threatened species in situations of high uncertainty is difficult. Managers must balance the optimism of successful intervention with the risk that intervention could make matters worse.

Dendrite Formation and Self‐Healing Mechanism in Ionic Liquid‐Based Magnesium Batteries

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This graphical illustration highlights the importance of operating Mg batteries within a safe operating current density (SOCD) range. Beyond this range, Mg batteries are susceptible to dendrite formation. However, when cycling a dendritic cell with a highly thermally stable electrolyte, a self‐heating effect occurs.

Nepalese forestry professional's attitudes towards risk and uncertainty in adaptation decisions

Trees, Forests and People, 2023
The safeguarding of forests in the face of threats from climate change depends on important forest management decisions. As particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, developing countries like Nepal require concentrated efforts to adapt ...

Designing Cost‐Effective Carbon Payments to Induce Cellulosic Feedstock Production for Sustainable Aviation Fuel

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Perennial bioenergy crops, such as miscanthus and switchgrass, and crop residues have the potential to scale up sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production and mitigate carbon emissions. However, high establishment costs, delayed returns, and risk–return profiles that diverge from those of conventional crops can hinder incentives to adopt ...

Past experience of uncertainty affects risk aversion [PDF]

Experimental Economics, 2016
AbstractIn an experiment with more than 500 participants we study how past experience of uncertainty (imperfect knowledge of the state space) affects risk preferences. Participants in our experiment choose between a sure outcome and a lottery in 32 periods. All treatments are exactly identical in periods 17–32 but differ in periods 1–16.
