Cyclic combing of untreated and bleached human hair: Analysis of the time‐dependent breakage of hair through recording the formation of fibre fragments

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
One important aspect of daily hair grooming routines is whether, after combing, conspicuous numbers of broken hairs are observed. Machine‐based cyclic combing of hair tresses serves as a good indicator for early hair breakage and as a suitable measure to determine the effect of an ingredient/product/process on hair ‘strength’.

Friction and vibration generated during sliding over bare skin correlate with perceived smoothness and moistness

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
A tactile sensor with a probe replicating a fingerprint quantified skin texture by measuring vibration and friction. Regression analysis linked smoothness and moistness perceptions with high‐frequency vibration amplitude and friction. These findings support the objective assessment of skin texture, enhancing product evaluation consistency and bridging ...

On discrete inequalities involving arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic means

open access: yes, 1995
Summary: We prove: If \(A(n)\), \(G(n)\), and \(H(n)\) denote the arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic means of the first \(n\) positive integers, then we have for \(n\geq 2\): \[ {H(n)\over H(n-1)}- {H(n+1)\over H(n)}

The Role of Dice in the Emergence of the Probability Calculus

open access: yesInternational Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary The early development of the probability calculus was clearly influenced by the roll of dice. However, while dice have been cast since time immemorial, documented calculations on the frequency of various dice throws date back only to the mid‐13th century.

Do temporary changes in earnings caused by mean reversion affect firms’ refinancing decisions?

open access: yesJournal of Financial Research, EarlyView.
Abstract We develop a dynamic two‐stage trade‐off model with refinancing when earnings are mean reverting. Our model predicts a negative relation between profitability and leverage at refinancing due to conservative debt increases. With multiple rounds of refinancing, the leverage–profitability relation may turn positive when firms have substantial ...
