Modelling the Density of Inflation Using Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity, Skewness, and Kurtosis Models [PDF]
The paper aimed at modelling the density of inflation based on time-varying conditional variance, skewness and kurtosis model developed by Leon, Rubio, and Serna (2005) who model higher-order moments as GARCH-type processes by applying a Gram-Charlier ...

Interface‐Engineered Binary Framework Composites: Advancing Porous Materials for Precision Medicine
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Binary framework composites integrate two complementary porous architectures into a unified platform, enabling multifunctional design, enhanced structural tunability, and improved physicochemical performance. By combining high surface area, ordered porosity, interfacial synergy, and versatile functionalization, these hybrid materials offer new ...

Kimball's prudence and two-fund separation as determinants of mutual fund performance evaluation [PDF]
We consider investors with mean-variance-skewness preferences who aim at selecting one out of F different funds and combining it optimally with the riskless asset and direct stock holdings.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Hf–Zr–O‐based morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) thin films often suffer from limited endurance and poor uniformity due to intrinsic phase instability. This work proposes a nanolaminate architecture that spatially separates competing phases, stabilizes phase formation, and suppresses wake‐up‐induced degradation.

Why people choose negative expected return assets - an empirical examination of a utility theoretic explanation [PDF]
Using a theoretical extension of the Friedman and Savage (1948) utility function developed in Bhattacharyya (2003), we predict that for financial assets with negative expected returns, expected return will be a declining and convex function of skewness ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Real‐time insight into local chemistry is critical for reliable part quality in additive manufacturing, especially laser powder bed fusion (PBF‑LB/M), where rapid thermal cycles and localized evaporation can undermine part performance. Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) offers non‑intrusive, in situ plume monitoring, but detection geometry ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes have traditionally served as structural supports in osmotic energy systems. Here, blind‐hole AAO membranes are demonstrated as active ion‐selective platforms with tunable nanopore structures. By balancing membrane resistance, ion selectivity, and flux, enhanced performance is achieved, delivering a maximum power ...

Bamboo Medical Application: A State‐of‐the‐Art Review
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This review presents a structured classification of bamboo's current use in healthcare. It organizes applications into medical textiles and medical devices, with further divisions based on function and level of invasiveness. It also examines material utilization based on bamboo's structural role, highlighting how it supports both protective and ...

Stochastic Dominance Analysis of iShares [PDF]
Country indices as represented by iShares exhibit non-normal return distributions with both skewness and kurtosis. Davidson and Duclos (2000) and Memmel (2003) provide procedures for determining the statistical significance of stochastic dominance ...
