Abstract This paper reviews the literature on strategic controls. It summarizes main theoretical arguments that have been put forward for establishing control systems, and contrasts these with evidence suggests few companies in fact a system place. The then identifies some of difficulties may be associated system, points up issues require further empirical research, framework exploring contingency theory concerning sorts businesses which systems would most least valuable.
Abstract Agricultural land in the Midwest is a source of food and fuel, as well biodiversity. It also cause excess nutrients that make their way to Mississippi River Gulf Mexico. To address unsustainable changes biogeochemical cycles ecosystem functions, multidisciplinary approach involving social science, natural engineering often effective. Given potential second‐generation biofuels, capitalizing on deep‐rooted perennial bioenergy crops capable thriving poor soils, we demonstrated an...
Abstract As the global population increases and becomes more affluent, biomass demands for food biomaterials will increase. Demand growth is further accelerated by implementation of climate policies strategies to replace fossil resources with biomass. There are, however, concerns about size prospective demand environmental social consequences corresponding resource mobilization, especially concerning impacts from associated land‐use change. Strategically integrating perennials into...
The production of short rotation woody crops (SRWCs) such as poplars and willows is a promising component global bioenergy phytotechnology portfolios. In addition to the provision biomass feedstocks pollution remediation, these trees shrubs have been sustainably grown conserve or utilize water in variety applications. Growing plants for multiple uses supports many United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially Clean Water Sanitation (SDG6) Affordable Energy (SDG7). As...
The production of advanced perennial bioenergy crops within marginal areas the agricultural landscape is gaining interest due to its potential sustainably produce feedstocks for biofuels and bioproducts while also improving sustainability resilience commodity crop production. However, predicting biomass yields this system challenging because are often relatively small spread around fields typically associated with various abiotic conditions that limit Machine learning (ML) offers a viable...
ABSTRACT Estimating the effect of phreatophytes on groundwater flow field is critical in design or evaluation a phytoremediation system. Complex hydrogeological conditions and transient water use rates trees require application numerical modeling to address such issues as hydraulic containment, seasonality, system design. In 1999, 809 hybrid poplars willows were planted phytoremediate 317 319 Areas Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago, Illinois. Contaminants concern are volatile organic...
ABSTRACT Most current writers on strategic control, whether from the rational planning or processual schools, agree importance of dialogue and debate between interested parties to control process. This is particularly so when regarded in a ‘warning bell’ sense, responding signal that all not going according plan, rather than as behavioural constraint an element agency theory practice. paper advances normative framework for ensuring effectiveness such discussions based Bird's notion ‘good...
Managing annual row crops on marginally productive croplands can be environmentally unsustainable and result in variable economic returns. Incorporating perennial bioenergy feedstocks into cropland engender ecosystem services enhance climate resiliency while also diversifying farm incomes. We use one of the oldest bioenergy-specific field experiments North America to evaluate economically sustainable management practices for growing grasses marginal cropland. This long-term trial called 9804...
Abstract Crude oil occurs in many different forms throughout the world. An important characteristic of crude that affects ease at which it can be produced is its density and viscosity. Lighter typically more easily a lower cost than heavier oil. Historically, much world's supply came from light or medium sources. Oil gas companies are actively looking toward sources to help meet demands take advantage large heavy reserves located countries. Heavy includes very viscous resources like those...
This study investigates how machine learning methods can be used to improve hydraulic head predictions by integrating different types of data, including data from numerical models, in a hierarchical approach. A suite four (decision trees, instance‐based weighting, inverse distance and neural networks) are tested several configurations with the 317/319 area at Argonne National Laboratory–East. The best model had mean predicted error 50% smaller than an existing MODFLOW flow model, standard...
Abstract Management of produced water presents challenges and costs to operators. If the entire process lifting, treating, reinjecting can be avoided, are likely reduced. Oil gas industry engineers have developed various technologies that separate oil from or inside wells. These devices known as downhole oil/water separators (DOWS, according some, DHOWS) gas/water (DGWS). This paper summarizes a recent report by Argonne National Laboratory provides data on 59 DOWS trials 62 DGWS around...
We investigated the indicative power of normalized difference red-edge index (NDRE) for estimating field-level perennial bioenergy grass biomass yields utilizing Sentinel-2 imagery and a linear regression model as rapid, cost-effective method yield estimations bioenergy. used 2019 data from three study sites containing mature stands in central Virginia, USA. Of simulated daily NDRE values based on temporally weighted averaging two temporal neighbors, we found strongest index–yield...
Abstract Adaptive sampling and analysis programs (ASAPs) provide a cost‐effective alternative to traditional program designs. ASAPs are based on field analytical methods for rapid sample turnaround field‐based decision support guiding the progress of program. One common objective is delineate contamination present in soils, either feasibility studies or remedial action An ASAP portable gas chromatograph/ mass spectrograph (GC/MS) technologies developed at Tufts University combined with tools...
This paper examines the harvest strategy – an often recommended approach for dealing with a weak business unit. It is shown to be that intertwines distinct levels of making ultimate goal increasing corporate value. However, in order successful it must carried out inconspicuously. Inconspicuousness euphemism deception case strategy. Such behavior, when industrial accident occurs, exposes shareholders risk substantial losses if happens high-risk technology industries. The authors illustrate...
