On Short-Term Loan Interest Rate Models: A First Passage Time Approach
Mathematics, 2018 In this paper, we consider a stochastic diffusion process able to model the interest rate evolving with respect to time and propose a first passage time (FPT) approach through a boundary, defined as the “alert threshold”, in order to evaluate

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 Although music and the emotion it conveys unfold over time, little is known about how listeners respond to shifts in musical emotions. A special technique in heavy metal music utilizes dramatic shifts between loud and soft passages.

The human gut microbiome across the life course
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

A Model for Dynamic Parking Choice of Drivers
Promet (Zagreb), 2015 Taking time-varying parking demands and supplies into account, this paper develops a dynamic parking choice model to simulate drivers’ searching for parking spaces between parking lots.

Confinement-driven acceleration of first-passage rates
Europhysics LettersAbstract We demonstrate that confinement geometry can optimally accelerate first-passage rates beyond free diffusion in passive stochastic processes. Introducing generalized confinement model based on the Fick-Jacobs approach and simulations, we find nonmonotonic mean first-passage rates driven by confinement geometry and curvature ...
