Proteomic and Transcriptomic Signatures of Poor Asthma Symptom Control in the U‐BIOPRED Cohort

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
No stable features were identified as associated with asthma symptom control in transcriptomics or sputum proteomics. Higher TWEAKR/TNFRSF12A and MBL/MBP‐C serum levels increased the odds of uncontrolled symptoms, while higher MK08/MAPK8 and CD5L serum levels decreased the odds, after adjustment for clinical variables.

Functional Vašiček Model

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesMathematical 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

open access: yesPublic 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

open access: yesGeophysical 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.

Involving Societal Stakeholders in Dementia Risk Reduction: An Explorative Study

open access: yesHealth 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
