Extending the hyper‐logistic model to the random setting: New theoretical results with real‐world applications

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
We develop a full randomization of the classical hyper‐logistic growth model by obtaining closed‐form expressions for relevant quantities of interest, such as the first probability density function of its solution, the time until a given fixed population is reached, and the population at the inflection point.

Expansion of the Brazilian Sugarcane Bioenergy System Promotes Greenhouse Emission Reductions and Sustainable Development Without Compromising Food Security

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing global demand for biofuels has raised concern about compromising food security. This study uses two independent economy‐wide models to evaluate the impact of expanding the Brazilian sugarcane bioenergy system on economic growth, social outcomes and food security.

Trace Levels of Triclosan May Affect Root Growth and Morphology in Cultivated Plants

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Triclosan (TCS) is a micropollutant frequently detected in biosolids applied to agricultural soils. In soil solution—where it is potentially bioavailable to roots—it occurs at residual concentrations (ng L−1). Nevertheless, the ecotoxicological implications of TCS exposure in agricultural crops at these concentrations are still not fully ...

Toward Silica‐Free Compliance: A Low‐Viscosity Sample Pretreatment Methodology for Crystalline Quartz Quantification in Viscous Pastes

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crystalline quartz, the most common crystalline silica polymorph, is widely found in industrial products. It is of high regulatory relevance, because its fine fraction, a form of respirable crystalline silica, is classified as an occupational carcinogen, with product‐content thresholds (e.g., 0.1% (w/w) in the European Union) and stringent ...

Exploring Toothbrushing Duration Among Adults: A Systematic Review

International Journal of Dental Hygiene, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim There is a need for greater understanding of the average brushing time among individuals. Since the average brushing time remains unclear, this study involves a systematic review to assess this aspect of oral hygiene practices and how it has evolved over the years. Material and Methods The PubMed‐MEDLINE and Cochrane‐CENTRAL databases were

Dental Plaque Scores After 2 or 3 Minutes Toothbrushing: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

International Journal of Dental Hygiene, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Compared to the standard recommended brushing duration of 2 min, what is the effect of a 3 min on dental plaque scores, based on data from single toothbrushing exercises? PROSPERO: CRD42023445354. Methods MEDLINE‐PubMed, Cochrane‐CENTRAL and Embase databases were searched up to May 2025 to identify eligible studies.

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.

Reinforcement Learning for Jump‐Diffusions, With Financial Applications

Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study continuous‐time reinforcement learning (RL) for stochastic control in which system dynamics are governed by jump‐diffusion processes. We formulate an entropy‐regularized exploratory control problem with stochastic policies to capture the exploration–exploitation balance essential for RL.

Relative Arbitrage Opportunities With Interactions Among N Investors

Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The relative arbitrage portfolio outperforms a benchmark portfolio over a given time‐horizon with probability one. With market price of risk processes depending on the market portfolio and investors, this paper analyzes the multi‐agent optimization of relative arbitrage opportunities in the coupled system of market and wealth dynamics.

Representation of Forward Performance Criteria with Random Endowment via FBSDE and Its Application to Forward Optimized Certainty Equivalent

Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We extend the notion of forward performance criteria to settings with random endowment in incomplete markets. Building on these results, we introduce and develop the novel concept of forward optimized certainty equivalent (forward OCE), which offers a genuinely dynamic valuation mechanism that accommodates progressively adaptive market model ...
