Imaginative Synthesis and the Basic Function of the Second Part of Kant's Transcendental Deduction in B

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract Most recent commentators on Kant's Transcendental Deduction assume that the main purpose of the second part of the B‐Deduction (“BD2”) is to show that human intuitions must fall under categories for reasons connected with their spatio‐temporal form.

Protein tandem repeats that produce frameshifts can generate new structural states and functions

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
We explored an alternative protein structure landscape by analyzing amino acid sequences from frameshifted tandem repeats—regions prone to frameshifts. These frameshifts, especially in short repeats, lead to more drastic changes than in non‐repetitive regions, often altering structure, function, localization, and potentially contributing to disease ...

Cryptocurrency Bubbles and Costly Mining

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper develops a model of a cryptocurrency by incorporating mining into the otherwise standard search‐theoretic monetary framework. As usual, multiple equilibria exist. To obtain a sharp prediction on whether a cryptocurrency' s value will last in the future, I propose a notion of equilibrium refinement based on the feature that mining ...

A genetic algorithm simheuristic for solving the stochastic project portfolio selection problem with portfolio reliability constraints

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In response to the increasing complexity of modern products, dynamic markets, and intensified competition, project‐based organizations are actively seeking methodologies to efficiently manage their expanding project portfolios. This paper analyzes the project portfolio selection problem in uncertain environments. Despite recent advances in the

Environmental Supply Chain Regulations in a Changing Market Environment: Exploring the EU's Regulatory Power in the Cocoa Sector in Ghana

open access: yesJCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract The article explores the European Union's (EU) regulatory power through supply chain initiatives, in the context of shifting market dynamics towards China and Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Focusing on the EU Regulation on Deforestation‐free products (EUDR) and the cocoa sector in Ghana as a most likely case study, the article

Toward Psychometric Learning Analytics: Augmenting the Urnings Algorithm with Response Times

open access: yesJournal of Educational Measurement, EarlyView.
Abstract Adaptive learning systems (ALS) aim to tailor the educational material to match the student's needs, ultimately improving the learning outcomes. An ALS dynamically adjust the level of practice based on the student's ability; therefore, obtaining accurate ability estimates is crucial.
