Some identities of degenerate Euler polynomials associated with degenerate Bernstein polynomials

Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2019
In this paper, we investigate some properties and identities for degenerate Euler polynomials in connection with degenerate Bernstein polynomials by means of fermionic p-adic integrals on Zp $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$ and generating functions.

Quantum Inspired Universal Analog Computation Based on Circuits

Advanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.
We propose an analog scheme of classical circuit for universal quantum computation. The information is encoded using correlated electrical signals, and the number of the basic computing components employed in our circuit design is consistent with the number of the quantum gate in the quantum circuit.

Evaluating the Role of Higher Education Institutions in Fostering Environmental Awareness, Behaviour and Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study provides a critical evaluation of the role of Libyan Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) as catalysts for environmental awareness and sustainable development. Employing a robust dual theoretical framework grounded in neo‐institutional and environmental education theories, it presents a large‐scale empirical analysis based on a ...

Searching together versus searching apart: Evidence from Kaggle

Strategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary How does the mode of search—independently or jointly—affect collective search, a central component of organizational adaptation and innovation? Using naturally occurring data from a strongly incentivized online competition platform, we find that compared to their counterfactuals that search apart, groups searching together ...

The Gender of Fossil Fuels: Oil and Domestic Perils in Mandate Palestine

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores the gender dynamics behind the rise of kerosene – an oil derivative – as the main domestic fuel in Mandate Palestine. It argues that these dynamics were constitutive in determining who began to use oil, where and for what purposes, in turn demonstrating that women in Palestine were the promoters and targets of a campaign ...

‘CLOSING THE CARBON LOOP’: Climate Policy Discourses and the Material Politics of Municipal Waste‐to‐Biofuel Programs

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Waste‐to‐biofuel (WTB) programs have gained popularity as a municipal circular economy and an emissions reduction strategy. The upgrading of biofuels to renewable natural gas (RNG) has drawn particular interest, as RNG can displace conventional fossil fuels in any existing natural gas end use and be delivered through existing pipeline ...
