Traditional risk models often fail to capture extreme losses in interconnected global stock markets. This study introduces a novel approach, Expectile Regression Neural Network with Modified LASSO regularization (ERNN-mLASSO), to model nonlinear syst...
This research aimed to investigate heat shock proteins in the tomato genome through the analysis of amino acids. The highest length among sequences was found in seq19 with 3534 base pairs. This seq19 was reported and contained a family of proteins kn...
Almost every year, a single global climate policy shock reaches every market, yet its financial footprint is uneven. The present paper examines whether a country’s own climate vulnerability intensifies the way climate policy uncertainty is tran...
This study examines the impact of the Russian–Ukrainian war on global financial stability, focusing on currency crises, exchange-rate dynamics, and economic vulnerability during 2003–2024 with an outlook for subsequent years. The objectiv...
New optical coatings are currently developed to mitigate the shockwave generated by nanosecond lasers in high-power laser systems such as the MegaJoule laser (LMJ). These shockwaves seem responsible for the damage growth observed on optical component...
Background: We evaluated phase-specific associations between perioperative hemodynamic variables and 30-day mortality following aortic surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and to assess the utility of post-CPB variables in risk stratificati...
In this work, a damped modified Kawahara equation (mKE) with cubic nonlinearity and two dispersion terms including the third- and fifth-order derivatives is analyzed. We employ an effective semi-analytical method to achieve the goal set for this stud...
Despite successful revascularization, patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) remain at higher risk of mortality and morbidity. Accurately predicting mortality risk in this cohort can improve outcomes through timely intervention...
Considering the limited resources of fossil energy and the problems caused by the emission of greenhouse gases, it is necessary to pay more attention to renewable energies, because in this way, the goals of sustainable development can be achieved. Th...
