Axioms and algorithms for inferences involving probabilistic independence
Information and Computation, 1991 AbstractThis paper offers an axiomatic characterization of the probabilistic relation “X is independent of Y (written (X, Y))”, where X and Y are two disjoint sets of variables. Four axioms for (X, Y) are presented and shown to be complete. Based on these axioms, a polynomial membership algorithm is developed to decide whether any given independence ...

Contrasting effects of temperature across trophic levels in geothermally warmed soil food webs
Oikos, EarlyView.Global warming is altering the structure and dynamics of ecological communities, with significant consequences for soil food webs. Rising temperatures are expected to accelerate metabolic rates in organisms, potentially altering species interactions, and the structure and energetics of food webs.

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.

Buchanan and the Social Contract: Coordination Failures and the Atrophy of Property Rights
Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT James Buchanan advocated that societies should be based on a social contract. He rejected anarchy, seeing it as a “Hobbesian jungle” that calls for government intervention to maintain social order. He also opposed theories of spontaneous order. These views led to debates about the compatibility of Buchanan's works with classical liberalism and

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT George Herbert Mead is an oft forgotten or ignored American philosopher who was one of the originators of pragmatism. Today, he is recognised as a creative thinker who has teased out knotty problems that others in the field had not realised were problems. Understanding Mead's analysis has been made difficult because he died prematurely without

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.In the winter of 2021/2022, a winter track survey revealed 43–46 tigers (without cubs) in 5.4 thousand km2 of suitable habitats in the Southwest Primorsky Province of Russia. In the same period, a network of camera traps registered 54 adult/subadult tigers here.

Crisis, temporality and governmental policy agendas: The cases of Finland and Sweden
Scandinavian Political Studies, EarlyView.Abstract Crises transform the temporal orientation of political decision‐making. They demand immediate and decisive action and thus convert time into a means of political control. In these circumstances, assessing the long‐term consequences of proposed policies with respect to welfare, sustainability or justice also becomes demanding.

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.This article analyses a new wealth tax (the IGF) in Bolivia against the backdrop of the 2019 ousting of former president Evo Morales. In doing so, it engages calls for ‘a return to politics’ in anthropology by proposing the notion of a ‘fiscal grievance politics’ as animating elite opposition to the tax in lowland Santa Cruz department. I show that the

Independence of axioms for biordered sets
Semigroup Forum, 1984 Biordered sets were introduced by \textit{K. S. S. Nambooripad} as an abstraction of the partial semigroup of idempotents of a semigroup [Mem. Am. Math. Soc. 224 (1979; Zbl 0457.20051]. Let X, Y be sets, \(\rho \subseteq X\times Y\) and put \(\rho(y)=\{x\in X:\quad x\rho y\}.\) A partial algebra is defined to be a set E equipped with a partial binary ...
