How Does Moral Hazard Impact Critical Market Banking Performance? by Corey J. M. Williams

“…We estimate a restricted translog semiparametric smooth coefficient seemingly unrelated regressions model (SPSC SUR) wherein model elasticities are functions of nonperforming assets, a proxy for moral hazard, to derive nonperformance-adjusted returns-to-scale estimates for critical market banks from 2001 through 2023. …”

Marangoni-driven self-assembly of hierarchical PAO/PVA membranes for highly efficient uranium extraction from seawater by Ai Jiayi, Zhang Jiacheng, Cao Xuewen, Du Jianfei, Tian Xuefeng, Yuan Yihui, Wang Ning

“…To address these challenges, we developed a mechanically robust PAO/polyvinyl alcohol (PAO/PVA) composite superspreading membrane (SSPP) via Marangoni effect-driven interfacial self-assembly. This strategy constructs hierarchically porous structures with gradient pore sizes, promoting efficient ion transport and access to functional adsorption sites. …”

Exploring emotional dimensions in educational data: A neutrosophic sentiment analysis approach by Joffre Paladines Rodríguez, Adrián del Pozo Biscarra, Felix Tamayo

“…The unique approach here is neutrosophic sentiment analysis based on Smarandache's (1999) theory of trivalent logic which supports the ambiguity of emotional functioning. The findings reveal multiple emotions that facilitate and impede grades and participation in the classroom, as well as responsiveness and program complaints; therefore, signifying importance for cause and effect for digital environment use. …”

The Role of Uncoupling Proteins in Diabetes Mellitus by Jing Liu, Ji Li, Wen-Jian Li, Chun-Ming Wang

“…Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) are anion carriers expressed in the mitochondrial inner membrane that uncouple oxygen consumption by the respiratory chain from ATP synthesis. The physiological functions of UCPs have long been debated since the new UCPs (UCP2 to 5) were discovered, and the role of UCPs in the pathogeneses of diabetes mellitus is one of the hottest topics. …”
