The elementary components of the global business environment and market are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which play an important role in the economy through the implementation of their business activities. Naturally, they are threatened...
The importance of proper tail risk management is a crucial component of the investment process and conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) is often used as a tail risk measure. CVaR is the asymmetric risk measure that controls and manages the downside risk...
Radiation management (RM) has been proposed as a conceivable climate engineering (CE) intervention to mitigate global warming. In this study, we used a coupled climate model (MPI-ESM) with a very idealized setup to investigate the efficacy and risks...
The tightening of sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) regulations, along with stringent private standards in international fresh produce trade, requires citrus producers, especially in developing regions, to adopt robust compliance mechanisms. This stud...
Railway level crossings pose risks to both train passengers and road users, worsened by the complex interaction between rail and road traffic, particularly on local railways. This study introduces a Risk Management (RM) framework designed to enhance...
In the field of flood management, risk and loss estimation is a prerequisite to undertake precautionary measures. Among several available tools, the HAZUS model is one of the most effective ones that can assist in the analysis of different dimensions...
Rice–crab co-culture systems (RC) represent promising sustainable intensification approaches, yet their nitrogen (N) cycling and optimal fertilization strategies remain poorly characterized. In this study, we compared RC with rice monoculture s...
The explosive growth of artificial intelligence (AI) services has led to massive scaling of GPU computing clusters, causing sharp rises in power consumption and carbon emissions. Although hardware-level accelerator enhancements and deep neural networ...
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a malignant tumor that represents the most common form of pediatric soft tissue sarcoma. It arises from mesenchymal origin and forms part of the group of small round blue cell tumors of childhood. It has a constant annual in...
The increasing generation of industrial solid wastes, such as red mud and phosphogypsum, poses significant environmental challenges due to their complex chemical compositions and low utilization rates. This study aims to develop an innovative composi...
