Quantifying Consumer Tradeoffs Across Firm‐Level Strategic Positioning Dimensions: Evidence from US Craft Beer Consumers

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Strategic positioning becomes increasingly important as markets mature, particularly in consumer‐facing industries that offer similar products, experiential cues, and values‐based messages. This study offers a conceptual model to examine the strategic positioning factors that motivate consumers to visit one local business over another before ...

Contemporary Regional Disparities in Robotic‐Assisted Rectal Resection in Japan: A Nationwide Population‐Based Study Using the National Database Open Data

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Robotic‐assisted rectal resection in Japan increased markedly after national insurance reimbursement in 2018, with a concurrent decline in open surgery. Using NDB Open Data, we found substantial inter‐prefectural heterogeneity in surgical volume and robotic utilization that persisted after age and sex standardization (SCR). Urban–rural differences were

Megaciudades, globalización y viabilidad urbana

open access: yesInvestigaciones Geográficas, 2007
At the end of the twentieth century there were hundreds of cities of one million inhabitants or more. In 1990 there were only a dozen of these. Growth and demographic concentration on these kind of urban agglomerations will continue mainly in the ...

Monitoring and forecasting of land use/land cover (LULC) in Al-Hassa Oasis, Saudi Arabia based on the integration of the Cellular Automata (CA) and the Cellular Automata-Markov Model (CA-Markov)

open access: yesGeology, Ecology, and Landscapes
This study sought to integrate the Cellular Automata-Markov Model (CA-Markov) and the Cellular Automata (CA) using sensing data for land cover maps for the years: 1988, 2000, 2013 and 2020 to monitor, detect, and predict the spatial and temporal of Land ...

Talk to Your Data: An Agentic Artificial Intelligence‐Driven Decision‐Support Framework for Prosumer Energy Optimization and Recommendations

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An agentic AI‐driven decision‐support framework for prosumers is proposed, integrating PV generation, load profiling, and multihorizon optimization within a four‐agent architecture. The approach significantly reduces grid dependence, enhances self‐sufficiency and prevents system oversizing.

Overcoming the Phase Discontinuity Problem in RIS Optimization: A Robust and Scalable Phase‐Aware Deep Regression Framework via Hybrid CNN–LSTM Architecture

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The phase discontinuity problem—where the cyclic nature of phase angles causes catastrophic errors near the ±π boundary—is a fundamental obstacle in learning‐based reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) optimization. A phase‐aware hybrid CNN–LSTM framework resolves this by decomposing phase predictions into sine–cosine components, mapping circular ...

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...
