Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

Defining the end point of status epilepticus: A scoping review and framework for standardization

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Status epilepticus (SE) is a life‐threatening neurological emergency with consensus‐driven definitions for onset but no standardized criteria for its end point. This gap creates uncertainty in research and clinical practice. We conducted a scoping review to evaluate how end points have been defined in SE research and to identify key areas of ...

The Bazaar as a Model for Knowledge Work

open access: yesKnowledge and Process Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents fieldwork that extends existing metaphors of knowledge work as a process shaped by hierarchical or market forces. A qualitative, ethnographic study of six knowledge‐intensive businesses in two countries identifies striking parallels with the Middle Eastern bazaar in contrast to Western impersonal markets and hierarchies. We

Extended graphical calculus for categorified quantum sl(2) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A categorification of the Beilinson-Lusztig-MacPherson form of the quantum sl(2) was constructed in the paper arXiv:0803.3652 by the second author. Here we enhance the graphical calculus introduced and developed in that paper to include two-morphisms ...

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.

An Innovative Approach to Multi‐Valued Logic

open access: yesIEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, EarlyView.
The current generation of computer systems operates on the principles of binary logic, which encompasses both logical and arithmetic operations. However, silicon technology has reached its peak performance, prompting researchers to explore alternative methods for enhancing computational efficiency. One such method is the adoption of Multi‐Valued Logic (

Erlangen Programme at Large 3.1: Hypercomplex Representations of the Heisenberg Group and Mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In the spirit of geometric quantisation we consider representations of the Heisenberg(--Weyl) group induced by hypercomplex characters of its centre. This allows to gather under the same framework, called p-mechanics, the three principal cases: quantum ...

Analogies and differences between the logic behind statistical hypothesis testing and proofs by contradiction: What can we learn from them?

open access: yesTeaching Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Statistical hypothesis testing (SHT) is widely employed across numerous scientific disciplines, and a clear understanding of its underlying logic is essential for the broader scientific community. Here, drawing upon both epistemological and statistical perspectives, we aim to clarify—primarily for educational purposes—the logical relationship ...

Organismic Supercategores: II. On Multistable Systems\ud \ud [PDF]

open access: yes, 1970
The representation of biological systems in terms of organismic supercategories, introduced in previous papers by Baianu et al. (Bull. Math. Biophysics,30, 625–636;31, 59–70) is further discussed.

From Classical to Quantum Mechanics: "How to translate physical ideas into mathematical language"

open access: yes, 2001
In this paper, we investigate the connection between Classical and Quantum Mechanics by dividing Quantum Theory in two parts: - General Quantum Axiomatics (a system is described by a state in a Hilbert space, observables are self-adjoint operators and so
