A generalization of Axiom A

Journal of the Mathematical Society of Japan, 1990
Baumgartner introduced the class of partial orderings for Axiom A which includes c.c.c. p.o. sets, ω 1 -closed p.o. sets and various notions of forcing which add new subsets of ω. If partial orderings which satisfy Axiom A are iterated under countable support, then the iteration, regardless of its length, satisfies a certain covering property.

Multifaceted obscurity of Thismia abei (Thismiaceae): A fairy lantern with the protologue long disregarded in practice

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Tiny, leafless fairy lanterns are easily overlooked on the forest floor. Thismia abei, endemic to Japan, persists in small, unstable populations and is listed nationally as Critically Endangered. Our recent work has revealed another, less obvious form of obscurity.

Managing pests by increasing predators through late termination of cover crops

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Adding cover crops to crop rotations can improve the sustainability and ecosystem functioning of agroecosystems. By delaying cover‐crop termination, growers can effectively increase natural enemy populations and reduce the need for chemical controls. Abstract BACKGROUND Adding cover crops to crop rotations can improve the sustainability and ecosystem ...

Ontologies for Sustainability: Theoretical Challenges

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The lack of sustainable practices in key sectors of human societies is a global concern, posing threats for the whole planet. This paper provides the first review of ontologies for sustainability efforts, outlining their roles in assessing and advancing such efforts. Section 2 outlines three major challenges associated with sustainability: (1)

Toward a theory of Bayesian experimentation in early‐stage ventures

Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary The entrepreneurship literature has established the benefits of experimentation but has paid comparatively little attention to its costs. We develop a Bayesian model to illustrate the entrepreneurial choice between direct and experimental entry.

CHARACTERIZATION OF SOFT α-SEPARATION AXIOMS AND SOFT β-SEPARATION AXIOMS IN SOFT SINGLE POINT SPACES AND IN SOFT ORDINARY SPACES

Journal of New Theory, 2017
The main aim of this article is to introduce soft separations axioms and soft and soft separations axioms, soft separations axioms in soft single point topology. We discuss soft separation axioms and soft points and soft points.

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

On Pairwise Semi-p-separation Axioms in Bitopological Spaces

Ibn Al-Haitham Journal for Pure and Applied Sciences, 2017
In this paper, we define a new type of pairwise separation axioms called pairwise semi-p- separation axioms in bitopological spaces, also we study some properties of these spaces and relationships of each one with the ordinary separation axioms in the ...

From Particle to Purpose: A Systems‐Theoretical Model of Unity and Coherent Adaptation

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper develops a conceptual integration that bridges classical systems theories with insights from the Islamic intellectual tradition, focusing on the notion of zerre (particle) as articulated by Said Nursî. We reinterpret zerre as a systems‐theoretical agent that exhibits lawful responsiveness without autonomy, offering a new lens on how
