A lumped modelling framework for the epoxidation of vegetable oils and fatty acid methyl esters
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Epoxidized vegetable oils and fatty acid methyl esters are promising bio‐based alternatives to phthalates for plasticizer applications. Their synthesis typically involves the reaction of unsaturated double bonds with peracetic acid in a biphasic liquid–liquid system, where the simultaneous occurrence of reaction and phase partitioning makes ...

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Homogeneous normalized random measures with independent increments represent a broad class of Bayesian nonparametric priors and thus are widely used. In this article, we obtain the strong law of large numbers, the central limit theorem (CLT), and the functional central limit theorem (fCLT) of such measures when the concentration parameter a ...

Learning sparse mixture‐of‐experts generalized linear models in ultrahigh dimensions
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Motivated by the challenges of heterogeneity and high dimensionality in the analysis of modern data, we investigate continuous regularization methods for learning sparse mixture‐of‐experts generalized linear models (MoE‐GLM). Although there are foundational results about regularized estimators in a broad class of regression models including ...

A Geometric Characterization of Steady Laminar Flow
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study the steady states of the Euler equations on the periodic channel or annulus. We show that if these flows are laminar (layered by closed non‐contractible streamlines which foliate the domain), then they must be either parallel or circular flows.

Long‐Acting Therapeutics in Pediatric Health: Bridging Innovation and Access
Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.Children have distinct therapeutic needs arising from age‐dependent physiology, disease epidemiology, formulation requirements, dosing considerations, and safety vulnerabilities. Despite substantial reductions in childhood mortality over the past three decades, nearly 5 million children under five died in 2023, with infectious diseases continuing to ...
