Optimal Hedging Strategies in the Low‐Sulphur Bunker Fuel Landscape

European Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The IMO2020 regulation for the green transition in shipping turned the industry into using two compliant bunker fuels: very low‐sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) and low‐sulphur marine gas oil (LSMGO). VLSFO futures contracts introduced in late 2019 and other energy‐related futures contracts indicate that the VLSFO contracts trading on the Singapore ...

Comparison of Mesoscale Crack Advance and Process Zone Element Approaches for Simulating Ductile Crack Trajectories in Steel

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rigorous application of continuum damage mechanics (CDM) models coupled with crack propagation schemes can predict crack branching or zigzag trajectories near the crack tip, even when the macroscopic crack growth is straight. This arises from oscillations in the local damage field and is consistent with experimental observations of ductile ...

Fire‐driven forest degradation enhances termite activity and accelerates litter decomposition in the Amazonia rainforest

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Forest degradation increased termite‐mediated litter decomposition, whereas no such effect was detected in undisturbed forests. Reduced ant predation and altered forest conditions were associated with higher termite abundance and faster litter decomposition.

Regularization Approaches for High‐Dimensional Cox Models: A Case Study in Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer

International Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary In high‐dimensional survival analysis, effective variable selection is crucial both for model interpretation and predictive performance. This paper investigates Cox regression with lasso and adaptive lasso penalties in genomic datasets where covariates far outnumber observations.

In Vitro Evaluation of Bond Strength of Adhesive Systems to Dentin and Stability of the Hybrid Layer

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Contemporary dental adhesives demonstrate strong durable adhesion to enamel while long‐term bonding stability to dentin remains uncertain. This in vitro study aimed to compare conventional dentin conditioning protocols supplemented with protease inhibition and chelate‐based conditioning protocols. Materials and Methods Four groups of
