Agricultural Diversification at the Margin. Strategies and Determinants in Italian Mountain and Remote Areas

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the convergence in on‐farm diversification strategies of agricultural holdings, between remote areas and more central ones. Using Italian farm‐level data, we explore the determinants of diversification strategies across farms.

Two permutation classes enumerated by the central binomial coefficients

open access: yes, 2013
We define a map between the set of permutations that avoid either the four patterns $3214,3241,4213,4231$ or $3124,3142,4123,4132$, and the set of Dyck prefixes. This map, when restricted to either of the two classes, turns out to be a bijection that allows us to determine some notable features of these permutations, such as the distribution of the ...

Livelihood Diversification as an Adaptation Strategy to Climate Change and Household Food Security of Livestock Holders in Pakistan

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rural farm households continue to face significant risks from climate change, resulting in many of them diversifying their livelihood sources into other income‐generating activities to increase their incomes and improve food and nutrition security. In this study, we examine the drivers and impact of farm households' participation in livelihood

On congruences related to central binomial coefficients

open access: yesJournal of Number Theory, 2011
It is known that $\sum_{k=0}^\infty\binom{2k}{k}/((2k+1)4^k)=π/2$ and $\sum_{k=0}^\infty\binom{2k}{k}/((2k+1)16^k)=π/3$. In this paper we obtain their p-adic analogues such as $$\sum_{p/23 is a prime and E_0,E_1,E_2,... are Euler numbers. Besides these, we also deduce some other congruences related to central binomial coefficients. In addition, we pose

Central binomial coefficients divisible by or coprime to their indices [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Number Theory, 2018
Let [Formula: see text] be the set of all positive integers [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] divides the central binomial coefficient [Formula: see text]. Pomerance proved that the upper density of [Formula: see text] is at most [Formula: see text]. We improve this bound to [Formula: see text].

Contemporary Regional Disparities in Robotic‐Assisted Rectal Resection in Japan: A Nationwide Population‐Based Study Using the National Database Open Data

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Robotic‐assisted rectal resection in Japan increased markedly after national insurance reimbursement in 2018, with a concurrent decline in open surgery. Using NDB Open Data, we found substantial inter‐prefectural heterogeneity in surgical volume and robotic utilization that persisted after age and sex standardization (SCR). Urban–rural differences were

One‐Year Healthcare Utilization and Costs After Emergency Department Encounters for Uncomplicated Appendicitis: A Statewide Observational Study

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Non‐operative management with antibiotics has emerged as an alternative to appendectomy for uncomplicated appendicitis. This study compared one‐year healthcare costs and utilization outcomes after operative versus non‐operative management of uncomplicated appendicitis using statewide administrative data.

Interpretability and Representability of Commutative Algebra, Algebraic Topology, and Topological Spectral Theory for Real‐World Data

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This article investigates how persistent homology, persistent Laplacians, and persistent commutative algebra reveal complementary geometric, topological, and algebraic invariants or signatures of real‐world data. By analyzing shapes, synthetic complexes, fullerenes, and biomolecules, the article shows how these mathematical frameworks enhance ...

On a conjecture of Graham on the p$p$‐divisibility of central binomial coefficients

open access: yesMathematika
AbstractLet be pairwise distinct primes. From a theorem of Kummer, each prime can divide at most times. We show that, for all , if are sufficiently large in terms of and , then there exist infinitely many positive integers such that each divides at most times.
