Stochastic Frontier Models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The stochastic frontier model was first proposed in the context of production function estimation to account for the effect of technical inefficiency. The inefficiency causes actual output to fall below the potential level (that is, the production frontier) and also raises production cost above the minimum level (that is, the cost frontier).

A model of yeast cell‐cycle regulation based on multisite phosphorylation

open access: yesMolecular Systems Biology, 2010
In order for the cell's genome to be passed intact from one generation to the next, the events of the cell cycle (DNA replication, mitosis, cell division) must be executed in the correct order, despite the considerable molecular noise inherent in any ...

Experimental and Modeling Approaches for Understanding the Effect of Gene Expression Noise in Biological Development

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2018
Biological development involves numerous chemical and physical processes which must act in concert to reliably produce a cell, a tissue, or a body.

Modelling stochastic correlation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Mathematics in Industry, 2016
This work deals with the stochastic modelling of correlation in finance. It is well known that the correlation between financial products, financial institutions, e.g., plays an essential role in pricing and evaluation of financial derivatives. Using simply a constant or deterministic correlation may lead to correlation risk, since market observations ...

Role of Media and Effects of Infodemics and Escapes in the Spatial Spread of Epidemics: A Stochastic Multi-Region Model with Optimal Control Approach

open access: yesMathematics, 2019
Mass vaccination campaigns play major roles in the war against epidemics. Such prevention strategies cannot always reach their goals significantly without the help of media and awareness campaigns used to prevent contacts between susceptible and infected

Simple Degree-of-Freedom Modeling of the Random Fluctuation Arising in Human–Bicycle Balance

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
In this study, we propose a new simple degree-of-freedom fluctuation model that accurately reproduces the probability density functions (PDFs) of human−bicycle balance motions as simply as possible.

On the Distribution of Transcription Times

open access: yesBiomath, 2013
A previously studied model of prokaryotic transcription [Roussel and Zhu, Bull. Math. Biol. 68 (2006) 1681--1713] is revisited. The first four moments of the distribution of transcription times are obtained analytically and analyzed.

Rural revitalization through improvements of technical efficiency in honey production: Evidence from Horo Guduru Wollega Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia

open access: yesCogent Food & Agriculture, 2023
Making apiaries more effective is only one aspect of reviving the beekeeping industry. Additionally, the beekeeping industry is generating employment both in rural and urban locations.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.
