Information Richness Theory (IRT) has enjoyed acceptance by information systems researchers throughout the last decade, but recent unfavorable empirical evidence has precipitated a shift away from it and a search for a new theory. Because of this shift, a new definition of communication richness is needed to succeed the IRT definition. Since its inception, IS research on communication richness ...

Recent advances in neural radiance fields (NeRFs) achieve state-of-the-art novel view synthesis and facilitate dense estimation of scene properties. However, NeRFs often fail for outdoor, unbounded scenes that are captured under very sparse views with the content concentrated far away from camera, as is typical field robotics applications. In particular, NeRF-style algorithms perform poorly: 1)...

A sustainable chemical industry needs to quantify its emissions and resource consumption by life cycle assessment (LCA). However, LCA requires detailed mass energy balances, which are usually not available at early process development stages. Here, we introduce a framework (A PROcess-specific, PRedictive impact AssessmenT method for Emerging processes, APPROPRIATE) provide fully automated, pred...
