On Logarithmic Convexity for Differences of Power Means

open access: yesJournal of Inequalities and Applications, 2007
We proved a new and precise inequality between the differences of power means. As a consequence, an improvement of Jensen's inequality and a converse of Holder's inequality are obtained.

A Multi‐instrument Recognition and Autonomous Tracking Control Method for Robot‐Assisted Endoscopic Adjustment

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
During lengthy minimally invasive surgeries, fatigue can cause surgeon tremor and poor endoscopic coordination. This study proposes a robot‐assisted endoscopic adjustment system. It employs a lightweight instrument detection model and a hierarchical multiconstraint controller for visual servoing.

Causal analysis of trade loss from pathogens: A global study of foot and mouth disease impacts on meat exports

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of

Using a Log-normal Failure Rate Distribution for Worst Case Bound Reliability Prediction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Prior research has suggested that the failure rates of faults follow a log normal distribution. We propose a specific model where distributions close to a log normal arise naturally from the program structure.

Trace ideals for Fourier integral operators with non-smooth symbols II

open access: yes, 2007
We consider Fourier integral operators with symbols in modulation spaces and non-smooth phase functions whose second orders of derivatives belong to certain types of modulation space.

De Gustibus Est Disputandum: The role of agricultural and applied economists in an era of behavior change initiatives and endogenous preferences

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Popular society increasingly questions preferences that drive many resource allocations and production decisions, with many groups actively seeking to alter those preferences to achieve changes to resource use. Agricultural and applied economists, who are already equipped with excellent technical skills to undertake consumer preference and ...

Existence results for boundary value problems of arbitrary order integrodifferential equations in Banach spaces

open access: yesAnalele Stiintifice ale Universitatii Ovidius Constanta: Seria Matematica, 2013
We study a boundary value problem of fractional integrodifferential equations involving Caputo's derivative of order α ∈ (n-1,n) in a Banach space. Existence and uniqueness results for the problem are established by means of the Hölder's inequality ...

Structural problems without structural solutions? Youth leaders' perceptions of their community

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract As young people explore and reflect on the conditions of their neighborhoods and communities, they can forge a critical consciousness—merging their perspectives and analysis to direct both individual and collective actions. Photovoice is a methodological tool that allows participants to document their perspectives and analysis and discuss with
