Technology shape, distance to frontier, or frontier shift? Modeling the determinants of TFP growth [PDF]
We investigate the determinants of TFP growth of Italian manufacturing firms. Using stochastic frontier techniques, we consider three approaches to take into account the influence of external factors, i.e., the determinants of growth.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.An ATP‐driven molecular switch, comprising viral nucleocapsid (N) protein and host helicase DDX21, dynamically modulates SARS‐CoV‐2 RNA G‐quadruplex (G4) heterogeneity. These viral G4s feature non‐canonical ion‐dependence and act as energy‐sensitive structural checkpoints.

Posterior analysis of stochastic frontier models using Gibbs sampling [PDF]
, 1992 In this paper we describe the use of Gibbs sampling methods for making posterior inferences in stochastic frontier models with composed error. We show how the Gibbs sampler can greatly reduce the computational difficulties involved in analyzing such ...

Smart Bioinks for 4D Bioprinting: Requirements, Design, and Applications
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Smart bioinks empower 4D‐bioprinted constructs to dynamically adapt and remodel in response to stimuli, effectively biomimicking native tissues. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) play a guiding role in their rational design by optimizing relevant properties.

Mergers Among German Cooperative Banks. A Panel-based Stochastic Frontier Analysis [PDF]
Based on an unbalanced panel of all Bavarian cooperative banks for the years of 1989-97 which includes information on 283 mergers, we analyze motives and cost effects of small-scale mergers in German banking.

Closing the Loop: High‐Precision 3D Photofabrication in Living Tissues
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Writing 3D microstructures inside living tissue demands more than laser access; It demands information. Hierarchical sensing captures thermal and mechanical states across pulse‐train, voxel, and structure timescales, feeding a controller that steers the laser in real time.
