An application of Lambda-method on inequalities of Shafer-Fink's type [PDF]
In this article $\lambda$-method of Mitrinovic-Vasic \cite{MitrinovicVasic70} is applied to improve the upper bound for the arcsin function of L. Zhu \cite{Zhu05} for inequalities of Shafer-Fink's type.

Increasing sedentary time, minimum dietary energy requirements, and food security assessment
Abstract We compute corrections for sedentary behavior in physical activity levels (PALs) and incorporate them along with corrections for over estimation of basal metabolic rates (BMRs) into threshold caloric intakes, known as minimum dietary energy requirements (MDERs).

Quantum Optics Parity Effect on Generalized NOON States and Its Implications for Quantum Metrology
A quantum optical‐parity effect is found to emerge in the evolution from generalized NOON states of a two‐level atom or molecule coupled to a cavity field. The parity of the photon number influences the quantum entanglement properties of the system, resulting in a parity‐dependent ability to extract states of the evolving system for precise phase ...
