The Role of Certifications in Improving Household Food Security Among Peruvian Farmers

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Achieving global food security requires sustainable transformations in agri‐food systems. Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS) such as Organic and Fairtrade aim to internalize certain social and environmental costs while promoting more equitable value distribution, improved market access, and sustainable production practices.

Design for flexibility: An adjustable robust optimization approach with decision‐dependent uncertainty

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flexibility is a crucial characteristic of industrial systems that face increasing volatilities and is therefore essential to ensure feasible operation under uncertainty. Flexibility is often closely tied to the design of a system, and careful consideration must be taken to understand the trade‐off between design cost and operational ...

A Refinement of Jensen’s and Minkowski’s Inequalities via Superquadratic Functions

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences
We provide in this note a different refinement of Jensen’s inequality obtained via superquadratic functions. A refinement of Minkowski’s and Hölder’s inequalities is also established as an application of our refined Jensen’s inequality.

Cut Points and Diffusions in Random Environment

, 2008
In this article we investigate the asymptotic behavior of a new class of multi-dimensional diffusions in random environment. We introduce cut times in the spirit of the work done by Bolthausen, Sznitman and Zeitouni, see [4], in the discrete setting ...

Real‐Time Sampling‐Based Model Predictive Control Based on Reverse Kullback–Leibler Divergence and Its Adaptive Acceleration

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a new sampling‐based model predictive control minimizing reverse Kullback‐Leibler divergence to quickly find a local optimum. In addition, a modified Nesterov's acceleration method is introduced for faster convergence. The method is effective for real‐time simulations and real‐world operability improvement on a force‐driven mobile ...

Hölder’s inequality for shifted quantum integral operator

Examples and Counterexamples
We show by two counterexamples that Hölder’s inequality for shifted quantum integral operator does not hold in general and we prove the case in which it is valid.

Blow Up for the Semilinear Wave Equation in Schwarzschild Metric

, 2004
We study the semilinear wave equation in Schwarzschild metric (3+1 dimensional space--time). First, we establish that the problem is locally well--posed in $\cs H^\sigma$ for any $\sigma \geq 1$; then we prove the blow up of the solution for every real ...

A Soft Wearable Robot for Vertical Jump Enhancement via a Pneumatic Energy‐Storing Propulsion Actuator and Triarticular Kinetic‐Chained Structure

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The Jump‐Enhancing Textile Suit integrates the Pneumatic Energy‐Storing Propulsion Actuator (PESPA) and the Triarticular Kinetic‐Chained Structure (TKiCS). PESPA stores elastic energy under pneumatic pressure and releases it during the propulsive phase to augment movement.
