Does ESG Matter for Unlisted Companies in the Agri‐Food Industry? Evidence From Japan's Unlisted Agri‐Food Companies

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While ESG (environmental, social, and governance) is emphasized among listed companies for their stakeholders and ESG disclosures, ESG engagement among unlisted companies has been rarely examined due to data limitations. This is particularly problematic for the agri‐food industry that has significant impacts on the environment and consists ...

Updated high-resolution grids of monthly climatic observations - the CRU TS3.10 Dataset [PDF]

, 2014
This paper describes the construction of an updated gridded climate dataset (referred to as CRU TS3.10) from monthly observations at meteorological stations across the world's land areas. Station anomalies (from 1961 to 1990 means) were interpolated into

AI in chemical engineering: From promise to practice

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) in chemical engineering has moved from promise to practice: physics‐aware (gray‐box) models are gaining traction, reinforcement learning complements model predictive control (MPC), and generative AI powers documentation, digitization, and safety workflows.

GloSAT LATsdb : A Global Compilation of Land Air Temperature Station Records With Updated Climatological Normals From Local Expectation Kriging

Geoscience Data Journal
ABSTRACT To accurately determine multi‐centennial trends in climate data records of the Earth's surface temperature, measurements are commonly analysed in the form of anomalies relative to a climatological reference period such as the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) 1961–1990 baseline. One of many climate‐monitoring challenges

VAE+DDPG: An Attention‐Enhanced Variational Autoencoder for Deep Reinforcement Learning‐Based Autonomous Navigation in Low‐Light Environments

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Variational Autoencoder+Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient addresses low‐light failures of infrared depth sensing for indoor robot navigation. Stage 1 pretrains an attention‐enhanced Variational Autoencoder (Convolutional Block Attention Module+Feature Pyramid Network) to map dark depth frames to a well‐lit reconstruction, yielding a 128‐D latent code ...

Superannuation Reimagined: Moving Beyond the Origins to an Indigenous Focus

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Retirement income systems, such as superannuation, are meant to be non‐discriminatory and consider disadvantage faced by members of society. There are significant differences between the life expectancies of Indigenous and non‐Indigenous peoples. The gap in life expectancies is not considered when determining when Indigenous peoples can retire.

Global soil respiration predictions with associated uncertainties from different spatio-temporal data subsets

Ecological Informatics
Soil respiration (Rs), the second-largest flux in the global carbon cycle, is a crucial but uncertain component. To improve the understanding of global Rs, we constructed single global models, and specific models classified by climate type, land cover ...
