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.

Challenges and Opportunities in Multi‐Method Integrated Geophysical Prospection of Buried Building Remains at the Sanctuary of Olympia

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ancient Olympia was one of the most important sanctuaries and the venue for the Olympic Games in Greek and Roman times. Its remains are located in the Olympia Terrace (Peloponnese, Greece) at the present‐day confluence of the rivers Alpheios and Kladeos at the base of Mount Kronos.

CD14 Plays a Critical Role in Pain and Inflammation Across Multiple Models of Post‐traumatic Osteoarthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective We employed global genetic deletion of CD14 and intra‐articular CD14 blockade across multiple murine osteoarthritis (OA) models that vary in severity of pathology and rate of progression to test the hypothesis that CD14 inhibition attenuates synovial inflammation and associated pain during disease progression.

Harnessing Cellular Feeling: Epigenetic to Mechanical Memory as a Framework for Stem Cell Manufacturing

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stem cell‐based therapies hold transformative potential for regenerative medicine, yet their progress is constrained by persistent variability in manufacturing and clinical performance. Conventional frameworks such as Quality by Design (QbD), though effective for drugs and biologics, struggle to accommodate the dynamic nature of living cell ...

Two-Player Nonzero-Sum Stochastic Differential Games with Switching Controls

Mathematics
In this paper, a two-player nonzero-sum stochastic differential game problem is studied with both players using switching controls. A verification theorem associated with a set of variational inequalities is established as a sufficient criterion for Nash

Backward–forward SDE’s and stochastic differential games

Stochastic Processes and their Applications, 1998
The backward-forward stochastic differential equation of the form \[ X_t=x+\int_0^tf(s,X_s,Y_s,Z_s)+\int_0^t\sigma (s,X_s,Y_s,Z_s)dW_s, \] \[ Y_t=g(X_T)-\int_t^Th(s,X_s,Y_s,Z_s)-\int_t^TZ_sdW_s, \] is considered where \(W\) is a standard Brownian motion on \(\mathbb R^m\), \((X,Y,Z)\) is an adapted process with values in \(\mathbb R^m\times \mathbb R^m

Operations Research‐Based Formalisation and Design of Sustainable Reverse Logistics for E‐Waste Supply Chains

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study demonstrates how a profitable, lean, and environmentally responsible e‐waste reverse logistics system can be designed using integrated Operations Research (OR) techniques. Addressing the growing urgency of responsible consumption (UN SDG 12) and the projected rise of the e‐waste sector to USD 137.60 billion by 2029, the research ...

An Indicator‐Based Decision Framework for Circular Bioeconomy Transition in the Steel Industry: Integrating Multiphase Learning and Cooperative Game Modelling

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite growing attention to the circular bioeconomy (CBE), the steel industry currently lacks a standardised, sectoral measurement framework to facilitate a low‐carbon transition. In this study, a decision‐support framework for evaluating CBE performance in the steel industry is proposed.

Government Subsidies for Industrial Symbiosis: Is It Always Worth It? Assessing Effectiveness and Efficiency Through Agent‐Based Modeling

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Policy intervention can be a driver for industrial symbiosis (IS). However, given the wide variety of policy instruments available, policymakers should be guided in the policy design process to ensure that their intervention is effective and efficient. In this paper, we propose an agent‐based (AB) model intended to assess the effectiveness and
