The economical and environmental benefits are the central issues for remanufacturing.
Whereas extant remanufacturing research focuses primarily on such issues in remanufacturing …

In durable goods markets, many brand name manufacturers, including IBM, HP, Epson, and
Lenovo, have adopted dual-channel supply chains to market their products. There is scant …

Hybrid rice has achieved high grain yield and greatly contributes to food security, but the
manual-labour-intensive hybrid seed production process limits fully mechanized hybrid rice …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a crucial driver of various biogeochemical processes in
aquatic systems. Thus, many lakes and streams have been investigated in the past several …

Drought stress poses a serious threat to grain formation in wheat. Nitrogen (N) plays crucial
roles in plant organ development; however, the physiological mechanisms by which drought …

In deep underground mining, the surrounding rocks are very soft with high stress. Their
deformation and destruction are serious, and frequent failures occur on the bolt support. The …

Consider the following communication scenario. An encoder observes a stochastic process
and causally decides when and what to transmit about it, under a constraint on the expected …

We argue that field trajectories, which lead to cosmic acceleration and feature rapid turns
near the boundary of the moduli space, are in the Swampland. We obtain this result by …

We consider the following communication scenario. An encoder causally observes the Wiener
process and decides when and what to transmit about it. A decoder estimates the process …

The trade-off between yield and environmental effects caused by nitrogen fertilizer application
is an important issue in wheat production. A reduction in fertile florets is one of the main …
