A New Approach to -Bernoulli Numbers and -Bernoulli Polynomials Related to -Bernstein Polynomials

Advances in Difference Equations, 2010
We present a new generating function related to the -Bernoulli numbers and -Bernoulli polynomials. We give a new construction of these numbers and polynomials related to the second-kind Stirling numbers and -Bernstein polynomials.

Urbanization and food transition in the Brazilian Amazon: From wild to domesticated meat

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Urbanization is expected to influence food transitions, resulting in a shift from wild foods to more domesticated foods. Concomitantly, food insecurity and urban demand for natural resources, including wildlife, are expected to increase overall, even when the per capita consumption is expected to decrease.

Patterns of wild meat and other protein consumption in the periphery of Salonga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In Central Africa, human activities are severely impacting terrestrial and aquatic wildlife, threatening the food security of millions of people. Accordingly, sustainable use of wildlife is crucial for the nutrition and livelihoods of many rural communities in the region.

Hankel determinants and Jacobi continued fractions for $q$-Euler numbers

Comptes Rendus. Mathématique
The $q$-analogs of Bernoulli and Euler numbers were introduced by Carlitz in 1948. Similar to recent results on the Hankel determinants for the $q$-Bernoulli numbers established by Chapoton and Zeng, we perform a parallel analysis for the $q$-Euler ...

Sums of Products of Bernoulli Numbers

Journal of Number Theory, 1996
Closed expressions are obtained for sums of products of Bernoulli numbers of the form \[ \sum {{2n} \choose {2j_1,\dots,2j_N}} B_{2j_1}\cdots B_{2j_N}, \] where the factor in parentheses is a multinomial coefficient and the summation is extended over all nonnegative integers \(j_1,\dots,j_N\) whose sum is \(n\).

From settler gardens to digital naturalists: human aesthetic preferences and land use changes facilitate the biogeographical expansion of a wild plant–virus interaction

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic facilitation of wild plants based on aesthetic preferences for particular traits can change the biogeography and ecology of natural communities. We use a mixed‐methods socioecological approach to characterize the ways in which humans interact with a common, widely distributed plant and a generalist viral symbiont that induces an ...

-Bernoulli Numbers Associated with -Stirling Numbers

Advances in Difference Equations, 2008
We consider Carlitz -Bernoulli numbers and -Stirling numbers of the first and the second kinds. From the properties of -Stirling numbers, we derive many interesting formulas associated with Carlitz -Bernoulli numbers. Finally, we will prove where

Statistical Monitoring of Multivariate Count Data From Real‐Time Particle Counters

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the pharmaceutical industry, production environments are monitored for bacterial contamination. Particle counters are increasingly investigated for real‐time monitoring of viable microorganisms using count data for different particle size intervals.

String‐Stable Platooning Control of Connected Automated Vehicles Under Non‐Uniform Stochastic Communication Delays

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper is concerned with the platooning control problem of connected automated vehicles (CAVs) under non‐uniform stochastic vehicle‐to‐vehicle (V2V) communication delays. Most existing relevant studies assume uniform or deterministic or slowly varying delays, or design platoon controllers based on worst‐case delay bounds, resulting in ...

One Size Does Not Fit All—Ignoring Spatial Variation in Occupancy and Detectability Underestimates the Required Number of Camera Trap Sites

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Camera trap occupancy studies often rely on simple rules of thumb that assume constant occupancy and detection across sites. Using simulations, we show that accurate occupancy estimates require 10–40 sites with no spatial variation, 20–120 with simple variation and 40–600 with complex spatial structures.
