A review of deep learning transformer variants used in solar PV forecasting

Abstract Solar power has become one of the most important renewable energy sources as it is sustainable, its prices are reducing, and it could contribute to the transition to clean energy across the world. Nevertheless, the inherently intermittent nature of solar PV output due to...

Uncertainty, risk drivers and return–volatility transmission in Indian banks

Purpose This study seeks to analyse the return and volatility connectedness between public- and private-sector banks in India. Furthermore, it investigates the influence of uncertainty and risk factors on this connectedness. Design/methodology/approach This study used the daily c...

Interaction behavior and solvation effects of aliphatic amino acids (glycine and L-alanine) in synthesized cholinium butanoate ionic liquid

Ionic liquids are promising sustainable alternatives to conventional chemicals and solvents for green products and chemical and biochemical applications. In this investigation, a choline-based ionic liquid, cholinium butanoate ([Chl][But]), was synthesized and subsequently employ...

Insight into in-vitro biochemical amelioration by bio-stimulants under salt stress in pea (Pisum sativum L.) and impact on growth, yield and quality in-situ

Pea, which is the most important legume globally, is valued for its profitability and short growth cycle. However, increasing soil salinity threatens pea and other crops by reducing productivity. Bio-stimulants, such as Rhizobium sp. and seaweed extract, are compounds or microbes...

Endogenous environmental corporate social responsibility decisions of firms in mixed triopoly

Abstract This paper develops a mixed triopoly model with a public firm, a private firm, and a mixed firm to examine the joint determination of environmental corporate social responsibility (ECSR), emission taxation, and ownership structure. Within a five‐stage game, firms choose...

Does Financial Literacy Improve Farmer Resilience? The Role of Risk Perception and Credit Access Among Horticulturists

This article examines the relationship between financial literacy and financial resilience of horticultural farmers, and more specifically, the mediation of such a relationship through the perception of risk and by accessing credit. Data were collected from 500 horticultural farm...

LawSaathi-RAG: A Benchmark for Comparing Retrieval-Augmented Generation Architectures on Indian Legal Question Answering

Access to accurate legal information remains a critical challenge for Indian citizens, particularly those navigating complex statutory and case-law frameworks. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) offers a promising approach by grounding large language model (LLM) outputs in auth...

Toward smarter solar: IoT and fuzzy logic for real-time maximum power point tracking and monitoring of photovoltaic systems

Abstract Photovoltaic (PV) systems are extremely prone to wear and tear and physical damage due to large variation in environmental conditions. Integration of real-time monitoring systems with PV would be highly advantageous in detecting early faults and performance degradation c...

Molecular and immunological insights into honey as a complementary approach in hepatocellular carcinoma: a systematic review

Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a rising worldwide health problem characterized by high mortality. The presence of early asymptomatic phases, the delay in diagnosis, and limited options for curative surgical interventions all enhanced its severity. Various contributing...
