Obesity and the Politics of Taddeo di Bartolo's Inferno

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines Taddeo di Bartolo's depiction of Hell in the Collegiata di Santa Maria Assunta, the mother church of San Gimignano. In a striking departure from similar scenes of the period, the fresco, painted in the early fifteenth century, emphasizes the obesity of the sinners—suggesting a deliberate visual critique.

Trade and Selection With Heterogeneous Firms and Perfect Competition

Review of International Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper extends the Heckscher–Ohlin–Samuelson framework to allow for heterogeneous firms with capacity constraints. We show that the central theorems of the HOS model (as well as their standard generalizations via duality) carry over to our setting.

Implementation of Goldwasser-Kilian primality test on elliptic curves [PDF]

Due to the development in information security and cryptography fields, in particular public-key cryptography, the importance of searching for large prime numbers has increased. Solovay and Strassen, in 1977, and Miller and Rabin, in 1980, were developed

Insider/Outsider/Transsiders of Transnational Migration

Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Migration is individually and collectively a challenging but also a transformative praxis and process. In my proposal, I present these in the context of transnational migration of two multigenerational families whose pioneers originally migrated from Turkey to Germany.

Sparse Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance for Feature Selection

Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose a feature screening method that integrates both feature–feature and feature–target relationships. Inactive features are identified via a penalized minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance (mRMR) procedure, which is the continuous version of the classical mRMR penalized by a non‐convex regularizer, and where the parameters estimated as ...

On equal consecutive values of multiplicative functions

Discrete Analysis
On equal consecutive values of multiplicative functions, Discrete Analysis 2024:12, 20 pp. It is widely expected that the prime factorizations of a pair of large consecutive natural numbers $n, n+1$ (or of a pair with fixed spacing, such as $n,n+2 ...

Adorno's empiricism?: On intellectual and metaphysical experience

The Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract Adorno's work contains pregnant references to the concepts of both “intellectual” and “metaphysical” experience. While the concept of metaphysical experience figures relatively prominently in the Adorno literature, intellectual experience has been largely neglected—indeed to the point that certain scholars have asserted that the two concepts ...

A novel dual‐decomposition method for non‐convex two‐stage stochastic mixed‐integer quadratically constrained quadratic problems

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 3128-3157, September 2026.
Abstract We propose the novel p‐branch‐and‐bound method for solving two‐stage stochastic programming problems whose deterministic equivalents are represented by non‐convex mixed‐integer quadratically constrained quadratic programming (MIQCQP) models. The precision of the solution generated by the p‐branch‐and‐bound method can be arbitrarily adjusted by

Estimating Wind‐Power Capacity Time Series From Production Data Using a Power Curve Model and Quadratic Optimization

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate, time‐resolved installed capacity data are crucial for forecasting and analysing wind‐power production. The time series of installed capacity is often only approximately known in regions with rapid wind power development. Public wind power databases may only be updated yearly and installation dates may not be differentiated within ...
