“Bio‐based Plastic? Hm, I've Never Seen It!”—A mixed‐methods investigation into consumer preferences for different packaging material of fresh apples and tomatoes

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract Packaging of fresh fruits and vegetables is standard in many grocery stores. This mixed methods study aims to identify the role packaging plays in consumer choice and what packaging material consumers prefer. We analyzed data from quantitative stated preference experiments with a quota sample of 485 consumers living in Germany.

Quantitative Analysis of Fluorescent Sensor Arrays

Analysis &Sensing, Accepted Article.
Fluorescent sensor arrays address the limitations of a single sensor by leveraging multiple sensing elements to generate unique response patterns for each of the analyte of interest. This approach has emerged as a powerful tool for identifying and analysing intricate chemical and biological environments using various multivariate analytical tools such ...

Inter‐microscope comparability of dental microwear texture data obtained from different optical profilometers: Part II Deriving instrument‐specific correction equations for meta‐analyses using published data

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has emerged as a valuable method for investigating the feeding ecology of vertebrates. Over the past decade, three‐dimensional topographic data from microscopic regions of tooth surfaces have been collected, and surface texture parameters have been published for both extant and fossil species.

No‐regret and low‐regret control for a weakly coupled abstract hyperbolic system

Asian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper explores an optimal control problem of weakly coupled abstract hyperbolic systems with missing initial data. Hyperbolic systems, known for their wave‐like phenomena and complexity, become even more challenging with weak coupling between subsystems.

Analysis of density matrix embedding theory around the non‐interacting limit

Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.
Abstract This article provides the first mathematical analysis of the Density Matrix Embedding Theory (DMET) method. We prove that, under certain assumptions, (i) the exact ground‐state density matrix is a fixed‐point of the DMET map for non‐interacting systems, (ii) there exists a unique physical solution in the weakly‐interacting regime, and (iii ...
