A stochastic production frontier model with a translog specification using the generalized maximum entropy estimator [PDF]
In this paper, an empirical application of the generalized maximum entropy estimator in a stochastic production frontier model with a translog specification is discussed to investigate technical efficiency in a wine region of Portugal.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.SKALE 2.0 maps disease‐associated protein aggregation as a phase‐resolved structural process, linking mutation‐induced geometric perturbations to nucleation, elongation, and suppressor design. Across neurodegenerative proteins, the framework reveals cryptic aggregation vulnerabilities, separates phase‐concordant and phase‐switching mutations, and ...

Polarization Dynamics in Ferroelectrics: Insights Enabled by Machine Learning Molecular Dynamics
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Machine learning molecular dynamics is presented as a route to capture polarization switching, domain wall kinetics, topological polar textures, and polar mechanical coupling beyond the limits of conventional atomistic methods. This Perspective surveys recent progress and identifies key methodological directions, including long‐range electrostatics ...

A Review of Failure Modes and Safety Strategies of Lithium‐Ion Batteries from Materials to Systems
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A cascade‐aware framework is presented for lithium‐ion battery safety, linking thermal runaway initiation, acceleration, runaway reaction, and propagation with material‐, cell/pack‐, and system‐level interventions. By integrating failure mechanisms, quantitative safety indicators, and staged interception strategies, this review highlights how safer ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Employing a digital single‐molecule activity tracker (dSMAT), this research demonstrates that high‐photon‐flux irradiation drives progressive oxidative scarring in polymerases. Unlike simple thermal denaturation, real‐time kinetic tracking dynamically visualizes enzymes degrading into multiple impaired subpopulations.

Bank branch efficiency with a Bayesian lens on technological heterogeneity
International Review of Economics & FinanceAlthough technological heterogeneity between banks has been previously considered in the literature, less attention has been given to technological heterogeneity between branches of the same bank. This paper analyses the efficiency, returns to scale (RTS)

A Methodological Note on a Stochastic Frontier Model for the Analysis of the Effects of Quality of Irrigation Water on Crop Yields [PDF]
A stochastic frontier model is proposed for analysis of crop yields, which considers the effects of differing quality of irrigation water, in addition to different inputs and factors associated with technical inefficiency of production. The parameters of
