Functional Vašiček Model

Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose a new formulation of the Vašičekmodel within the framework of functional data analysis. We treat observations (continuous‐time rates) within a suitably defined trading day as a single statistical object. We then consider a sequence of such objects, indexed by day.

Agents' Behavior and Interest Rate Model Optimization in DeFi Lending

Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contrasting sharply with traditional money, bond, and bond futures markets, where interest rates emerge organically from participant interactions, DeFi lending platforms employ rule‐based interest rates that are algorithmically set. Thus, the selection of an effective interest rate model (IRM) is paramount for the success of a lending protocol.

Stochastic Simulation Model for Forecasting Index‐Linked Public Expenditure

Public Budgeting &Finance, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper introduces a system dynamics (SD) model for analyzing public sector cost growth, where costs are tied to indices. The SD model isolates the effects of automatic indexation, providing probabilistic projections of expenditure growth. It enables testing of alternative indexation strategies and cost‐reduction measures. Findings show how

A New Surface Rupture of the 1556 Huaxian M ∼ 8.5 Earthquake Revealed by Rock Surface Luminescence Dating of a Bedrock Fault Scarp and Colluvial Wedges

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Bedrock fault scarps and their associated colluvial wedges provide key evidence for reconstructing paleoearthquakes. We apply rock surface luminescence dating to a bedrock scarp on the Huashan fault in central China, using OSL‐depth profiles (DPs) from multiple heights. Results reveal two coseismic displacements of 6.8 and >1.0 m.

Complementary Predictors for Asthma Attack Prediction in Children: Salivary Microbiome, Serum Inflammatory Mediators, and Past Attack History

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 2, Page 413-426, February 2026.
In this two‐phase study, school‐aged children were classified as at risk or no‐risk based on severe attacks during one‐year follow‐up. Four types of prediction models were developed. Salivary bacteria and serum inflammatory markers, while informative alone, complement past asthma attacks in predicting future attack risk.

Involving Societal Stakeholders in Dementia Risk Reduction: An Explorative Study

Health Expectations, Volume 29, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Optimal dementia risk reduction requires a combination of individual‐ and population‐level approaches. Societal stakeholders play a crucial role by raising awareness, supporting individual lifestyle change, and/or influencing certain risk factors through policy changes. This study aimed to identify relevant societal stakeholders for
