Disbelief as the Dual of Belief [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The duality of truth and falsity in a Boolean algebra of propositions is used to generate a duality of belief and disbelief. To each additive probability measure that represents belief there corresponds a dual additive measure that represents disbelief ...

From Nature to Supply Chain: Exploring Biomimicry‐Based Pathways to Sustainability and Competitive Advantage

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inspired by insights gleaned from biomimicry theory, this paper addresses the persistent lack of theoretically grounded research in sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) and examines how nature‐inspired biomimicry principles could enhance various dimensions of its competitiveness. This study's theoretical contribution lies in its proposal

How Multiple Streams Influence Agenda‐Setting for Water Reuse in Swiss Substates

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As climate change creates significant challenges for both the environment and society, potential mitigation and adaptation solutions are widely discussed. Yet, neither challenges nor their potential solutions automatically reach the political agenda or lead to a policy decision.

Boolean algebra

open access: yes, 2011
Discrete MathematicsA partial order on subsets defined by inclusion is a Boolean algebra. Boolean algebras form lattices and have a recursive structure apparent in their Hasse diagrams.

A logical model of HCP

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2001
For an arbitrary undirected graph G, we are designing a logical model for the Hamiltonian Cycle Problem (HCP), using tools of Boolean algebra only. The obtained model is a logic formulation of the conditions for the existence of the Hamiltonian cycle ...

Perfect disjunctive normal forms in a class of algebras

open access: yesНауковий вісник Ужгородського університету. Серія: Математика і інформатика, 2017
The methods of constructing normal forms in the class of algebras are considered. Formulas of algebra describe Boolean images.

Nonprofit Governance and Financial Stability: A Study of Government‐Funded Social Services

open access: yesNonprofit Management and Leadership, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nonprofit social service providers are essential in delivering vital services, often with public funding. This study adopts a contingency perspective to explore the relationship between organizational governance and financial stability in publicly funded nonprofit organizations. We use a combination of comparative multilevel analysis (CMA) and

The Boolean algebra of Galois algebras

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2003
Let B be a Galois algebra with Galois group G, Jg={b∈B|bx=g(x)b for all x∈B} for each g∈G, and BJg=Beg for a central idempotent eg, Ba the Boolean algebra generated by {0,eg|g∈G}, e a nonzero element in Ba, and He={g∈G|eeg=e}.

Impact of Packaging and Recycling Systems on Material Recirculation: A Stage‐Decomposition Model

open access: yesPackaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
A system‐level view emerges from decomposing recycling into four stages (participation, collection, sorting and process yield), diagnosing constraints and targeting interventions. Cumulative equivalent uses (CEUs) quantify long‐term retention, revealing marginal improvements at high baselines generate disproportionately larger gains than low‐baseline ...

Extension by Conservation. Sikorski's Theorem [PDF]

open access: yesLogical Methods in Computer Science, 2018
Constructive meaning is given to the assertion that every finite Boolean algebra is an injective object in the category of distributive lattices. To this end, we employ Scott's notion of entailment relation, in which context we describe Sikorski's ...
