Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Bamboo charcoal–based extruded activated carbons were prepared via molding, pre‐oxidation, carbonization, and steam activation, with coal tar, phenolic resin, and their mixtures employed as binders based on practical availability and technical feasibility. This study focused on the regulatory effects of binders on the mechanical properties and

Piecewise-Linear Lyapunov Functions for Linear Stationary Systems
Automation and Remote Control, 2002 The paper deals with piecewise-linear Lyapunov functions for the linear stationary system described by the vector differential equation \[ \frac {dx}{dt}=Ax,\quad x\in \mathbb R^N, \] where \(A\) is a real \(N\times N\)-matrix with constant elements. A Lyapunov function for this system can be constructed in the class of piecewise-linear functions as ...

Risk‐aware safe reinforcement learning for control of stochastic linear systems
Asian Journal of Control, EarlyView.Abstract This paper presents a risk‐aware safe reinforcement learning (RL) control design for stochastic discrete‐time linear systems. Rather than using a safety certifier to myopically intervene with the RL controller, a risk‐informed safe controller is also learned besides the RL controller, and the RL and safe controllers are combined together ...
