The Feasibility of Household Food Waste Reduction in Finland: Insights From Five Consumer Profiles

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We apply a household production framework to analyse how changes in cooking skills, waste‐abatement costs and wage rates influence the food waste behaviour of five consumer profiles in Finland. We find that achieving a given reduction in food waste through skill‐enhancing interventions induces larger behavioural adjustments than equivalent ...

Edges as ecological filters: Asymmetrical orientation‐specific arthropod activity across forest boundaries

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Moderate retention forestry creates structurally sharp forest edges that act as ecological filters, shaping orientation‐specific activity of ground‐dwelling arthropods. Using drift‐fence pitfall traps, we show that activity aligned with ecotones is more frequent than activity across forest–clearcut boundaries, particularly among detritivores.

The Lie structure on the Hochschild cohomology of monomial algebras

open access: yes, 2009
Cette thèse porte sur la structure de Lie de la cohomologie de Hochschild donnée par le crochet de Gerstenhaber. Plus précisément, nous étudions la structure d'algèbre de Lie du premier groupe de cohomologie et la structure de module de Lie des groupes ...

Algunos temas combinatoriales en teoría de representaciones de álgebras y sus aplicaciones

open access: yes, 2020
This thesis deals with a range of questions in combinatorial aspects of the representation theory of algebras and its applications. In particular, we provide a solution to the following problems: 1.

Modelling Patterns of Past Inundation Processes Combining Geoarchaeology and Morphometric Hydrological Analysis in the Shashe‐Limpopo Basin, South Africa

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riverine and valley systems across the globe have been central to the development of past urban centres. By AD 900, the Shashe and Limpopo Rivers seem to have facilitated the interaction and integration of early farming communities in southern Africa. This paper focuses on the application of geoarchaeological perspectives made available by the

Some culture is hiding in plain sight in research on child development

open access: yesBritish Journal of Developmental Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Child development is cultural in nature, yet a divide persists between a (cross‐)cultural developmental science niche alongside a seemingly a‐cultural mainstream. In particular, childhood research relying on convenience sampling in often Western, post‐industrial (i.e., WEIRD) societies rarely ventures into issues of culture and context ...

Quantum Gravity: A Primer for Philosophers. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
‘Quantum Gravity’ does not denote any existing theory: the field of quantum gravity is very much a ‘work in progress’. As you will see in this chapter, there are multiple lines of attack each with the same core goal: to find a theory that unifies, in ...

Bias and precision in true‐score estimation

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract We discuss two approaches to estimating the true score from classical test theory, each with a corresponding measure of uncertainty due to measurement error: the classical method with the standard error of measurement (SEM) and Kelley's method with the standard error of estimation (SEE).

Computing Skinning Weights via Convex Duality

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We present an alternate optimization method to compute bounded biharmonic skinning weights. Our method relies on a dual formulation, which can be optimized with a nonnegative linear least squares setup. Abstract We study the problem of optimising for skinning weights through the lens of convex duality.
