Recursion Formula of Second-Order Recurrent Sequences
Rocky Mountain Journal of Mathematics, 2007 Let \(\{w_n\}\) be a second order recurrence sequence. The author proves a recursion formula for certain reciprocal sums whose denominators are products of consecutive elements of \(\{w_n\}\). This extends results of \textit{Brother A. Brousseau} [Fibonacci Q. 7, 143--168 (1969; Zbl 0176.32203)] and \textit{R. S. Melham} [Fibonacci Q. 41, No. 1, 59--62

A Theory of Leadership Meta‐Talk and the Talking‐Doing Gap
Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.Abstract We identify managers' meta‐level talk about the positive purpose, meaning, and significance of their actions as an overlooked type of leadership behaviour and call it leadership meta‐talk. We outline why leadership meta‐talk is not necessarily truthful or deceptive, but selective and loosely coupled with leadership practice.

Seeing the Speaker's Face Enhances Second Language Shadowing: Neural and Behavioral Evidence
Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract This functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study investigated how facial cues influence second language (L2) shadowing among 42 Japanese learners of English. Participants completed four conditions that varied by task type (listening vs. shadowing) and visual input (face vs. mosaic).

Public Administration, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Automation in public administration is often seen as a recent, purely digital phenomenon that transforms decision‐making and governance. This article challenges that view by elucidating a historical continuum in the automation of administrative decision‐making.

Middlebrow Aesthetics: An Explanation and Defense
Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We offer a philosophical account of the middlebrow as a theoretical category to do explanatory and critical work in aesthetics. On our account, the middlebrow ought to be understood as aspirational popular art. That is, it is art which aspires both to be popular (in a distinctive sense), and at the same time to be something more than popular ...

The Ambidextrous Work of Video Game Development
R&D Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT How do video game developers balance the pursuit of creative freedom with the demands of market responsiveness? Based on 62 in‐depth qualitative interviews with Swedish game developers, this article advances a theory of individual ambidexterity in the creative digital industries.

Combinatorial formulas for certain sequences of multiple numbers [PDF]
The Ramanujan Journal, 2016 Multiple analogues of certain families of combinatorial numbers are recently constructed by the author in terms of well poised Macdonald functions, and some of their fundamental properties are developed. In this paper, we present combinatorial formulas for the well poised Macdonald functions, the multiple binomial coefficients, the multiple bracket ...

Snap Judgements: Turning Photography into Art in the Late Soviet Union
The Russian Review, EarlyView.Abstract The history of photography and photography theory in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is often preoccupied with “Western” criticism and arguments regarding the photograph as art, document, or technology. Yet, this criticism has ignored the development of photographic theory in the Soviet Union, particularly during the 1950s and 1960s ...

Summation Formulas for Certain Combinatorial Sequences
MathematicsIn this work, we establish some characteristics for a sequence, Aα(n,k), including recurrence relations, generating function and inversion formula, etc. Based on the sequence, we derive, by means of the generating function approach, some transformation formulas concerning certain combinatorial numbers named after Lah, Stirling, harmonic, Cauchy and ...
