How can ecosystem services scenarios inform forest planning?—Seven lessons from Leanachan Forest, Scotland

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract There are growing societal expectations that forests are managed for multiple benefits including carbon storage, biodiversity, health and recreation. Consequently, forest managers are increasingly expected to consider how external factors, including climate change, affect the future of their forests and the wider public benefits they provide ...

The Straight-Line Depreciation is Wanted, Dead or Alive [PDF]

open access: yes
We propose a simple axiomatic system that any depreciation method¡ªcomplying with the core of the accounting of depreciation¡ªmust obey. We show that, while none of the prevalent depreciation methods (e.g., straight-line) ex ante conforms to these ...

Cabri's role in the task of proving within the activity of building part of an axiomatic system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We want to show how we use the software Cabri, in a Geometry class for preservice mathematics teachers, in the process of building part of an axiomatic system of Euclidean Geometry.

An objective Bayesian method for including parameter uncertainty in ensemble model output statistics

open access: yesQuarterly 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.

Did Lobachevsky Have A Model Of His "imaginary Geometry"? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The invention of non-Euclidean geometries is often seen through the optics of Hilbertian formal axiomatic method developed later in the 19th century. However such an anachronistic approach fails to provide a sound reading of Lobachevsky's geometrical ...

Two-Stage Document Length Normalization for Information Retrieval

open access: yes, 2015
The standard approach for term frequency normalization is based only on the document length. However, it does not distinguish the verbosity from the scope, these being the two main factors determining the document length.

On an Aggregation Theory for Indicators Expressing Behaviors of Complex Systems With an Application to Sustainability

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Certain attributes of large‐scale complex systems are often expressed through sets of indicators. For example, the sustainability of an entity, be it a nation, a city, an energy system, a corporation etc., can be effectively represented by indicators and corresponding data series.

Geometry, Formalism and Intuition: David Hilbert and the formal Axiomatic Method (1891-1905)

open access: yesRevista de Filosofia, 2014
The paper presents and analyzes a set of unpublished notes for lecture courses on geometry, which David Hilbert gave between 1891 and 1905. it will be argued that in these lecture courses the author elaborates the conception of geometry which underlies ...

A Process Modelling Framework Based on Point Interval Temporal Logic with an Application to Modelling Patient Flows [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
This thesis considers an application of a temporal theory to describe and model the patient journey in the hospital accident and emergency (A&E) department. The aim is to introduce a generic but dynamic method applied to any setting, including healthcare.
