Two Shades of Green? Gender Differences in Environmental Concern and Activism
International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines gender differences in environmental concern and activism using data from the World Values Survey. The results indicate that women are more likely than men to be concerned about the environment, but are less likely to engage in environmental activism.

Weak asymptotic solution for a non-strictly hyperbolic system of conservation laws
Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2015 In this article, we construct the weak asymptotic solution developed by Panov and Shelkovich for piecewise known solutions to a prolonged system of conservation laws.

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.The Asian Songbird Crises negatively affects so‐called master birds, species that are used to increase the song complexity of competitive songbirds. We assessed the trade in a master bird, the crested jayshrike, in Indonesia before and after its legal protection.

Front tracking for a 2X2 system of conservation laws
Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2012 This article studies a front-tracking algorithm for $2imes2$ systems of conservation laws. After revisiting the classical results of DiPerna [12] and Bressan [8], we address the case of a $2imes2$ system arising in the study of granular flows [2 ...

Beyond the Metrics: Context‐Aware Calibration for Better Drain Flow Modelling
Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Robust hydrological and water quality modelling is essential for advancing the understanding and management of engineered agricultural subsurface drainage systems. Achieving credible model output hinges on calibration strategies that are both rigorous and context sensitive. At the field scale, accurately capturing the dynamics of nutrient load

The Non‐Professional Virtues of the Hospice Volunteer
Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Volunteers have long played a significant role in hospice care. Much of the care volunteers provide consists of weekly hour‐long in‐home visits. Home‐visiting hospice volunteers are not professionals, nor are they strangers or intimates. Hospice volunteers will not typically face moral dilemmas, nor be called upon to make dramatic decisions ...

High resolution schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws [PDF]
Journal of Computational Physics, 1983 A class of new explicit second order accurate finite difference schemes for the computation of weak solutions of hyperbolic conservation laws is presented. These highly nonlinear schemes are obtained by applying a nonoscillatory first order accurate scheme to an appropriately modified flux function.

Interaction of Dirac δ$$ \delta $$‐Waves in the Inviscid Levine and Sleeman Chemotaxis Model
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article investigates interactions of δ$$ \delta $$‐shock waves in the inviscid Levine and Sleeman chemotaxis model ut−λ(uv)x=0$$ {u}_t-\lambda {(uv)}_x=0 $$, vt−ux=0$$ {v}_t-{u}_x=0 $$. The analysis employs a distributional product and a solution concept that extends the classical solution concept.
