Seasonal Fluctuations of Plastochromanol‐8 and α‐Tocopherol Amounts in the Leaves of Cecropia Trees
Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plastochromanol‐8 (PC‐8) is a homologue of γ‐tocotrienol with a longer side chain (eight instead of three isoprene units) and therefore also a representative of the tocochromanol (vitamin E) group. PC‐8 has been determined in various plants and seeds, with Cecropia sp. leaves showing unusually high levels.

The critical role of teacher educators in promoting socially just mathematics teaching
British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract This paper focuses on the enablers and constraints that shape mathematics teacher educators' agency in addressing social justice issues within their practice and how these can be harnessed or overcome. Given the potential impact of teacher educators on the student/practising teachers they work with, and consequently on the agency of classroom ...

Barriers to the Adoption of Circular Economy Business Models in the Indian Textile Industry
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Indian textile industry has significant negative impacts on the environment. This industry needs to adopt a circular economy approach to become more sustainable; however, progress on this has been limited. In this study, we report on the barriers to adoption of Circular Economy Business Models (CEBMs) in the Indian textile industry.

Indexability is Not Enough for Whittle: Improved, Near-Optimal Algorithms for Restless Bandits
International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2023 We study the problem of planning restless multi-armed bandits (RMABs) with multiple actions. This is a popular model for multi-agent systems with applications like multi-channel communication, monitoring and machine maintenance tasks, and healthcare. Whittle index policies, which are based on Lagrangian relaxations, are widely used in these settings ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Climate‐resilient food systems require simultaneously addressing climate mitigation, food security, and biodiversity conservation. Yet most policy frameworks treat these interdependent goals as separate challenges, fragmenting action across sectors.

Age of Information: Whittle Index for Scheduling Stochastic Arrivals [PDF]
2018 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT), 2018 Age of information is a new concept that characterizes the freshness of information at end devices. This paper studies the age of information from a scheduling perspective. We consider a wireless broadcast network where a base-station updates many users on stochastic information arrivals. Suppose that only one user can be updated for each time. In this

Navigating Paradoxes for Strategic Business Models: Toward Shared Automated Vehicles in Europe
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT How can paradoxical tensions in the integration of shared automated vehicles in Europe be navigated to build sustainable business models? Prior research often separates economic, social, and environmental dimensions, overlooking how their interdependencies generate tensions across organizational levels.
