Nguyen","doi":"10.1007/s10479-026-07293-9","DOIUrl":"10.1007/s10479-026-07293-9","url":null,"abstract":"<div><p>Sustainable agricultural production and waste management, i.e., stopping burning agricultural waste at fields and utilising the agricultural waste to produce biomass energy for improving the quality of environment, and enhancing the development of regional economy and society, have recently posed challenges due to impact of climate change (e.g., disruption risk by flooding on agricultural waste collection and transport network from fields to treatment facilities). In this paper, we develop a mixed-integer nonlinear programming model for the reliable agricultural waste collection, transport and treatment network design under impact of flooding that aims to minimise the impact of disruption risk on transport road network and locations of storages and facilities. The model can support rural planners to optimally locate storages (for collecting and transporting agricultural waste from fields to storages) and treatment facilities (for collecting and transporting agricultural waste from storages to treatment facilities). In the novel reliable two-stage location problem, the overall objective is to minimise total expected “disruption risk” cost. A solution technique based on “probability chains” is developed to transform the mixed-integer nonlinear programming model into a quadratic programming model that can be solved by advanced optimisation solvers. Based on the property of problem decomposition, we propose a two-stage solution method to seek quickly the optimal solutions of the reliable two-stage location problem. In addition, we develop an efficient math-heuristic algorithm for solving the large-sized instances within a reasonable computation time. The efficiency of the proposed solution methods is evaluated on the case studies in the Vietnam Mekong Delta.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8215,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Operations Research","volume":"363 3","pages":"1959 - 1989"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10479-026-07293-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148710314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jha,&nbsp;Chunguang Bai","doi":"10.1007/s10479-026-07256-0","DOIUrl":"10.1007/s10479-026-07256-0","url":null,"abstract":"<div><p>The textile industry is a major contributor to global resource depletion and waste generation, making sustainability, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance, and circularity central priorities for transforming its supply chains (SCs). While sustainability provides the overarching goal of reducing environmental burdens and promoting responsible production, ESG offers a structured framework for evaluating a firm’s environmental performance, social responsibility, and governance practices. Circularity, a core principle of the Circular Economy (CE) paradigm, serves as a key pillar of sustainable transformation by operationalising these goals through material recovery, resource efficiency, and closed-loop flows. However, effective adoption of circular practices depends heavily on selecting suppliers who perform strongly across both ESG and circularity dimensions. This area remains underexplored, especially within Indian textile micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). To address this gap, this study develops a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework to identify the most suitable sustainable circular supplier (SCS) of recycled cotton yarn. Criteria were identified through an extensive literature review and expert consultations, and evaluated using an integrated Weighted Influence Non-linear Gauge System (WINGS) and Multi-Attributive Border Approximation Area Comparison (MABAC) approach. WINGS captures the interdependencies among sustainability-oriented ESG-circular criteria, while MABAC ranks suppliers based on their overall performance. The results show that collaboration for circularity, recycling capability, green certifications, governance compliance, product quality, and SC resilience are the most influential factors driving SCS selection. Overall, the proposed framework provides a practical decision-support tool for textile firms seeking to strengthen sustainability, enhance ESG alignment, and accelerate CE adoption, thereby enabling more responsible and competitive operations. The framework’s real-world applicability is demonstrated through a case study of an Indian textile MSME.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8215,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Operations Research","volume":"362 1-3","pages":"105 - 148"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148394796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The essential characteristics of a data set for macroeconomic nowcasting are differing sampling frequencies and the ragged-edge, i.e. the pattern of predictor availability due to non-synchronicity of data releases. The mask mirrors the ragged-edge data availability pattern at a specific nowcast occasion. During a sequence of nowcast occasions, models are traditionally re-estimated on an expanding data set as more and more data becomes available. We propose to first <i>mask</i> the historical data and re-estimate the parameters based on the masked historical data. The re-estimation on dynamically masked data at each consecutive nowcast juncture thus tailors the model to the specific data availability patterns. We analyze the parameter restrictions induced by the masking operator and show that nowcasts are only being revised to the extent that the incoming data release is different from its model-consistent value. Finally, an empirical exercise of nowcasting US GDP shows the performance of the masking operator to handle missing observations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8215,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Operations Research","volume":"362 1-3","pages":"69 - 82"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148394757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
