Isoperimetric inequalities for -Hessian equations

open access: yesAdvances in Nonlinear Analysis, 2012
We consider the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for a special -Hessian equation of sub-linear type in a -convex domain , . We study the comparison between the solution of this problem and the (radial) solution of the corresponding problem in a ball having ...

Farmers' Financial Literacy—Scale Development and Linkages to Accounting Practices and Financial Outcomes

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the financial literacy (FL) of Swedish farmers, its linkages to farmer characteristics, management accounting practices and farm outcomes by surveying Swedish Farm Accountancy Data Network farmers. Using item response theory, we expand the existing FL measurement specifically to the farming context, assess measurement ...

On the Extended Adjacency Eigenvalues of a Graph

open access: yesInformation
Let H be a graph of order n with m edges. Let di=d(vi) be the degree of the vertex vi. The extended adjacency matrix Aex(H) of H is an n×n matrix defined as Aex(H)=(bij), where bij=12didj+djdi, whenever vi and vj are adjacent and equal to zero otherwise.

Factor analysis of correlation matrices when the number of random variables exceeds the sample size

open access: yesStatistical Theory and Related Fields, 2017
Factor analysis which studies correlation matrices is an effective means of data reduction whose inference on the correlation matrix typically requires the number of random variables, p, to be relatively small and the sample size, n, to be approaching ...

The Role of Coordination Mechanisms and Transaction Costs Promoting Sustainability Performance in Agri‐Food Supply Chains: Evidence From Ecuador

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Social tensions and resource depletion pose significant challenges to the agri‐food sector, highlighting the need for coordinated strategies to ensure sustainability in supply chains. Despite its critical importance, the relationship between coordination mechanisms and sustainability performance remains underexplored.

Representation of the norming constants by two spectra

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2010
The representation of the norming constants by 2 spectra was studied by Levitan, Gasymov (and others) for the Sturm-Liouville problem with boundary conditions $y(0)cosalpha +y'(0)sinalpha=0$, $y(pi)coseta+y'(pi)sineta =0$, when $sin alpha eq 0$ and $

Examining the Impact of Row Planting on Labor Use for Sustainable Food Production Among Maize Farmers in Rural Ghana

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smallholder farmers are reverting to traditional production methods due to the high opportunity costs and unintended consequences of new technologies. This study focuses on row planting technology, which is labor‐intensive and slow without mechanized operations.

An Example of Symmetry Exploitation for Energy-related Eigencomputations

open access: yes, 2009
One of the most used approaches in simulating materials is the tight-binding approximation. When using this method in a material simulation, it is necessary to compute the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Hamiltonian describing the system. In general,

Enhancing Sustainability Label Effectiveness Through Logo Design Modification: An Analysis of the EU Green Leaf Logo

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability labels can help support consumers select more socially and environmentally friendly options, thereby enhancing returns for conscientious producers and promoting the transition to a more sustainable food system. However, consumer confusion regarding labels' meaning undermines their effectiveness.
