Background The growing complexity of logistics and supply chain management, particularly in third-party logistics (3PL) providers, highlights the need for effective competency models tailored to evolving operational demands. Current frameworks often lack the technical depth and global...

Verification and validation (V&V) are integral parts of any simulation study. Validation assesses how accurately conceptual models represent the real system, while verification ensures correct implementation in software. V&V plays a critical role in business and manufacturing, where simulation...

To maximize the contribution of variable renewable energy sources, long duration storage is critical, since variable sources, notably wind and solar, often generate excess power at off-peak times. The successful Yingcheng compressed air energy storage project in China is presently the world’s...

Mehmood et al. (2023) estimate the effect of Ramadan fasting hours on judicial decisions using case-level data from Pakistan and India. Using exogenous variation in fasting intensity due to the Islamic lunar calendar and latitude, the authors find that Muslim judges are significantly more likely...

Computational intelligence and optimization methods for sustainable water management examines water resources management principles, machine learning applications, novel approaches to wastewater treatment, and emerging technologies for water supply, conservation, and management. It explores how...

This systematic and large-scale reproduction effort tests the reproducibility and robustness of economics and political science. We reproduced original analyses and conducted robustness checks of 110 articles recently published in leading economics and political science journals (all of which...
