The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Hybrid models (HMs) combine fundamental model (FM) equations with empirical components. These models can lead to improved predictions because they reduce process/model mismatch and can account for phenomena that are not considered in the FM equations.

Revisiting Fisher's n‐D statistical vision: From algebraic abstraction to modern visualization
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract We revisit early foundational results in mathematical statistics derived by Ronald A. Fisher. They involve sampling distributions of statistics calculated from independent and identically distributed Normal observations, namely the root mean square deviation; the mean absolute deviation, conditional on already knowing the value of the root ...

Compact Manifolds With Unbounded Nilpotent Fundamental Groups and Positive Ricci Curvature
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT It follows from the work of Kapovitch and Wilking that a closed manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature has a uniformly almost nilpotent fundamental group. Leftover questions and conjectures, have asked if in this context the fundamental group is actually uniformly almost abelian. The main goal of this work is to construct examples (Mk9,gk)$(

Harmonizing Social Impact Assessment in the Bioeconomy: A Cross‐Regional Fuzzy‐Delphi Approach
Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The bioeconomy transition risks underrepresenting social sustainability, while existing Social Life Cycle Assessment (S‐LCA) applications remain insufficient for comparison and decision support due to heterogeneous and non‐standardized selection of social impact categories. This study proposes a cross‐regional baseline set of impact categories
