The Climate Fix: Make What’s Important Measurable [PDF]
Journal of Interdisciplinary SciencesClimate change is the priority global concern that has received substantial funding for reduction efforts and makes demands on governments for change. The first climate treaty, the Kyoto Protocol (2008), was founded on reducing greenhouse emissions at ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.This study examines how the fruits of non‐photosynthetic forest plants in the Monotropoideae (Ericaceae) have evolved into the diversity observed today. By analyzing four Asian species, we identified a shift from dry, dehiscent fruits that release seeds into the air to fleshy, berry‐like fruits adapted for animal dispersal.

Characterization of the Shapley-Shubik Power Index Without the Efficiency Axiom [PDF]
We show that the Shapley-Shubik power index on the domain of simple (voting) games can be uniquely characterized without the e¢ ciency axiom. In our axiomatization, the efficiency is replaced by the following weaker require- ment that we term the gain ...

An objective Bayesian method for including parameter uncertainty in ensemble model output statistics
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Conventional model output statistics and ensemble model output statistics methods for calibrating ensemble forecasts lead to severe underestimation of the probabilities of ensemble extremes (in blue). This is because they ignore statistical parameter uncertainty.

Monotone principle of forked points and its consequences [PDF]
Mathematica Moravica, 2015 This paper presents applications of the Axiom of Infinite Choice: Given any set P, there exist at least countable choice functions or there exist at least finite choice functions.

On a generalization of Hausdorff space
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1986 Here, a new separation axiom as a generalization of that of Hausdorff is introduced. Its simple consequences and relations with some other known separation axioms are studied. That a non-indiscrete topological group satisfies this axiom is shown.

Dynamic Reusable Workflows for Ocean Science
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2016 Digital catalogs of ocean data have been available for decades, but advances in standardized services and software for catalog searches and data access now make it possible to create catalog-driven workflows that automate—end-to-end—data search, analysis,

Ordering infinite utility streams comes at the cost of a non-Ramsey set. [PDF]
The existence of a Paretian and finitely anonymous ordering in the set of infnite utility streams implies the existence of a non-Ramsey set (a nonconstructive object whose existence requires the axiom of choice).

Entanglement Swapping for Partially Entangled Qudits and the Role of Quantum Complementarity
Advanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.The entanglement swapping protocol is extended to partially entangled qudit states and analyzed through complete complementarity relations. Analytical bounds on the average distributed entanglement are established, showing how the initial local predictability and entanglement constrain the operational distribution.
