Morphological variation in atlas and axis of Neotropical spiny rats (Rodentia, Echimyidae)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The unique morphologies of the first two cervical vertebrae, the atlas and axis, represent a significant innovation in mammalian evolution. These structures support the weight of the head and enable intricate movements of the head and neck.

Operationalizing BioSSbD: A safe‐and‐sustainable‐by‐design framework for biorefineries

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Biorefineries are central to the transition toward a circular bioeconomy; however, their increasing scale and technological heterogeneity, and the integration of biological, chemical, and thermochemical processes introduce complex challenges related to safety, sustainability, and operational reliability. Existing Safe‐and‐Sustainable‐by‐Design

Real‐Time Biomass Estimation in High‐Density Yeast Fermentations Using Soft Sensor Modeling

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Accurate biomass measurements, both offline and online, are essential to improve prediction and control in yeast fermentation. This study develops regression‐based predictive models to correlate offline measurements (Dry Cell Weight and OD600 from a spectrophotometer) with online OD860 probe signals to provide accurate real‐time biomass estimations and

Mathematical modeling of the spread of the coronavirus under strict social restrictions

open access: yesMathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView., 2021
We formulate a simple susceptible‐infectious‐recovery (SIR) model to describe the spread of the coronavirus under strict social restrictions. The transmission rate in this model is exponentially decreasing with time. We find a formula for basic reproduction function and estimate the maximum number of daily infected individuals.

Green Talk, Costly Walk: The Financial Cost of Greenwashing

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the financial consequences of greenwashing, operationalized as the misalignment between ESG disclosure and actual ESG performance. While prior research has explored the reputational and ethical dimensions of greenwashing, its impact on firms' cost of debt remains underexamined.

The Non-Monotonic Response of Cumulus Congestus to the Concentration of Cloud Condensation Nuclei

open access: yesAtmosphere
This study uses idealized simulations to investigate the impact of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) on a cumulus congestus. Thirteen cases with the initial CCN_C, which is the CCN concentration at 1% supersaturation with respect to water, from 10 to 10 ...

Partial identification with categorical data and nonignorable missing outcomes

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Nonignorable missing outcomes are common in real‐world datasets and often require strong parametric assumptions to achieve identification. These assumptions can be implausible or untestable, and so we may wish to forgo them in favour of partially identified models that narrow the set of a priori possible values to an identification region.

Bayesian inverse ensemble forecasting for COVID‐19

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Variations in strains of COVID‐19 have a significant impact on the rate of surges and on the accuracy of forecasts of the epidemic dynamics. The primary goal for this article is to quantify the effects of varying strains of COVID‐19 on ensemble forecasts of individual “surges.” By modelling the disease dynamics with an SIR model, we solve the ...
