Charting the Path to Increased Oil Palm Output in Ghana Beyond Area Expansion: Technology or Managerial Capacity — Which Leads the Way?

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study sets out to investigate the prospects for raising oil palm output in sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly Ghana, without further expansion of cropland. Given global concerns about oil palm's role in deforestation and land use change, the focus is on enhancing productivity on existing farmlands.

Effects of Outsourced Agricultural Extension Services on the Technical Efficiency and Financial Returns of Soybean Farms in Northern Cameroon

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the agricultural landscape of most developing countries, the last decade has witnessed the expansion of outsourced agricultural extension services. Private firms and nongovernmental organizations focused on delivering agricultural extension and advisory services to farmers have emerged.

A Wright-Based Generalization of the Euler Beta Function with Statistical Applications

Mathematics
In recent years, special function theory has played an increasingly important role in the development of advanced mathematical models and statistical distributions. In this paper, a new extension of the Euler Beta function is introduced by employing the Wright function as a kernel, leading to the formulation of the Beta–Wright function.

Dictionary‐based weak‐form training for noise‐robust series hybrid models with multiplicative unknowns

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hybrid modeling combines first‐principles equations with a data‐driven subcomponent. Training for the data‐driven part is sensitive to measurement noise when training targets are constructed using pointwise time derivatives. Beyond differentiation errors, hybrid models involve solving an inverse problem to estimate the data‐driven term, which ...

A Unifying Approach to Self‐Organizing Systems Interacting via Conservation Laws

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
The article develops a unified way to model and analyze self‐organizing systems whose interactions are constrained by conservation laws. It represents physical/biological/engineered networks as graphs and builds projection operators (from incidence/cycle structure) that enforce those constraints and decompose network variables into constrained versus ...

Patient‐Mounted Neuro Optical Coherence Tomography for Targeted Minimally Invasive Micro‐Resolution Volumetric Imaging in Brain In Vivo

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
Herein, a patient‐mounted neuro optical coherence tomography system that integrates a 5 degrees‐of‐freedom skull‐mounted robot (Skullbot) with a 0.6 mm neuroendoscope for targeted, minimally invasive deep brain imaging, is developed. The system offers high‐resolution imaging with precise deployment, demonstrated through successful tumor imaging in a ...

Artificial Neural Network Driven Computational Modeling of Naegleria fowleri Epidemics Using Variational Optimization

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a mathematical framework to analyze the transmission dynamics of an amoeba‐induced central nervous system infection. The population is divided into compartments including susceptible, exposed, infected, quarantined, hospitalized, recovered, protected, and deceased.

Power spectral density and the brain

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Time series from M/EEG (magneto/electroencephalography) and ECoG (electrocorticography) recordings are common sources of information about brain function. The power spectral density (PSD) preserves much of this information, up to second order. In the current decade, a burst of brain diagnostics using the slope of log(PSD) has appeared.

Stability of Viscous Three‐Dimensional Stratified Couette Flow via Dispersion and Mixing

Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores the stability of stratified Couette flow in the viscous 3d$3d$ Boussinesq equations. In this system, mixing effects arise from the shearing background, and gravity acts as a restoring force leading to dispersive internal gravity waves.

Front Propagation Through a Perforated Wall

Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We consider a bistable reaction– diffusion equation ut=Δu+f(u)$u_t=\Delta u +f(u)$ on RN${\mathbb {R}}^N$ in the presence of an obstacle K$K$, which is a wall of infinite span with many holes. More precisely, K$K$ is a closed subset of RN${\mathbb {R}}^N$ with smooth boundary such that its projection onto the x1$x_1$‐axis is bounded and that ...
