Abstract This is a short survey about asymptotic properties of a supercritical branching process (Z_{n}) with immigration in a stationary and ergodic or independent and identically distributed random environment. We first present basic properties of the fundamental submartingale (W_{n}) , about...

Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, and affects people regardless of country, age group, or sex. Using the most recent evidentiary and analytical framework from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD), we produced...

Retail consumers in the UK cryptocurrency market exhibit characteristics that should trigger alarm. Using the Financial Conduct Authority Financial Lives 2020 survey data set, I find that approximately three-quarters of cryptocurrency investors can be classified as low-net-worth individuals....

This study examines the skill landscape and job functions of financial regulators in the United Kingdom through analysis of 373 job postings, with a focus on supervisory roles. The preliminary findings reveal that the top skills in demand for financial regulators include technical knowledge,...

In an evolving digital landscape marked by escalating operational complexity, the need for innovative operational risk management (ORM) methodologies is more pressing than ever. This thought-leadership paper explores the potential of generative artificial intelligence (AI) – specifically,...

Despite the advantages of fiber-shaped supercapacitors (FSCs) in powering wearable electronics, the low energy density dramatically hinders their practical application. Asymmetric configuration design especially with pseudocapacitive materials is an effective solution due to the extended voltage...

China's major wheat producing areas play a crucial role in ensuring domestic grain production and food security more generally and it is therefore of significance, both empirically and theoretically, to investigate the current situation and future tendencies of the sector. Based on input- and...

In this paper, we study the energy of the polymer {S1,⋯,Sn} equipped with random electrical charges {ω1,⋯,ωn}: Hn=∑1≤ij≤nωiωjI{Si=Sj} where {Sn} is a symmetric random walk in Z in the domain of attraction of the symmetric α-stable process. Based on the large deviation result of...
