A new tool reveals which countries are truly ready to innovate in agrivoltaics—combining solar energy with agriculture.
The Agrivoltaic Innovation Index goes beyond counting research papers to measure actual innovation readiness. Surprising finding: African nations like Kenya and Senegal score high despite publishing less, thanks to focused projects solving urgent local needs.

New metric assesses innovation readiness in agrivoltaics
A study from Türkiye has introduced the Agrivoltaic Innovation Index (AII), a composite scientometric tool designed to assess innovation readiness in agrivoltaics beyond traditional publication and citation metrics. The index evaluates research across four dimensions - conceptual, translational, network, and societal - and shows that high publication volume does not necessarily correspond to higher innovation readiness.

Interesting observation - after growing exceedingly tired of Acrobat trying to interject AI in every menu and screen, I went into the preferences and turned it all off.
Suddenly, the finnicky Reading Order tool quit acting so strange, and the erratic tag panel behavior seems to have stopped as well.
Is Acrobat tanking the user experience in an effort to force its AI on the user?

Abstract: Functional connectivity varies across individuals due to genetic and environmental factors, yet classical twin models typically confound non-shared environment with measurement error and are largely limited to resting-state analyses. We hypothesized that: i) explicitly modeling measurement error from repeated fMRI sessions enables more accurate application of classical twin models (ACE/ADE) to functional connectivity; ii) model applicability depends on scan-length and parcellation granularity; iii) genetic and environmental effects on functional connectomes show differentiated functional modules across conditions. We extended ACE/ADE models to include a repeated-scan derived error term by analyzing monozygotic and dizygotic twins from the Young-Adult Human Connectome Project dataset. Genetic and environment variance components were estimated for all functional couplings across resting-state and task conditions, integrated across conditions using a minimum-error criterion, and analyzed using multilayer community detection across resolution scales. Functional couplings segregated into distinct categories characterized by shared environmental, additive, dominant, or epistatic influences, with a substantial fraction not meeting twin-model assumptions. Integrating across conditions revealed hierarchical community structure in genetic and environmental components observed across community resolution scales. Incorporating measurement error into twin models improves interpretability and applicability at the functional connectome level, revealing that genetic and environmental influences are structured into coherent, multiscale brain networks.
