Purpose – This paper aims to investigate reconfigurable technology using robotic technology for folding carton in confectionery industry. Design/methodology/approach – Based on the analysis of common motion and manipulation, modules such as robotic fingers and robotic folders are explored...

In this paper, an M–EEMD–ELM model (modified ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD)-based extreme learning machine (ELM) ensemble learning paradigm) is proposed for landslide displacement prediction. The nonlinear original surface displacement deformation monitoring time series of...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study whether, of China's food and agriculture (agri-food) export, the trade relationships along the extensive margin can transform into short-term ones, and further convert into long-term ones along the intensive margin with survival and maintenance,...

Government and nonprofit innovation intermediaries that work to enable the innovativeness of firms include R&D performers such as government research institutes, property-based enablers such as science parks and business incubators, technology transfer offices, economic development...

As a new strategy to combat global climate change and achieve sustainable development, a marine low-carbon economy has gradually gained attention in recent years. A variety of reasons are fueling the creation of a marine low-carbon economy. The digital economy (DE) has demonstrated a significant...

By adopting wavelet coherence analysis, we follow Frankel’s (1986) commodity price overshooting model to study the dynamic covariation between the expected real interest rates and six agricultural commodities’ real returns over the period from 2000:1 to 2018:7. We find that US unconventional...

Ride-hailing services (RHS) and traditional taxi services (TTS) play important roles in satisfying people’s daily travel demands. In recent years, RHS have experienced rapid growth, making daily travel more convenient and fundamentally changing the vehicle-hailing service market once dominated...
