International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Framework illustrating the comparison of different reference evapotranspiration (ETo) estimation methods and the integration of baseline ETo, crop water requirement (CWR), and irrigation water requirement (IWR) calculations with downscaled CMIP6 climate projections under SSP245 and SSP585 scenarios for the mid‐century and late‐century periods across ...

Jensen inequality and the second law [PDF]
Physics Letters A, 2020 Jensen's Inequality (JIEQ) has proved to be a major tool to prove the consistency of various fluctuation theorems with the second law in microscopic thermodynamics. We show that the situation is far from clear and the reliance on the JIE may be quite misleading in general.

CSR disclosure and investment efficiency in MENA countries: The moderating role of CSR committee
Strategic Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Corporate social responsibility disclosure (CSRD) is often recognized as a transparency mechanism that allows companies to communicate their commitment to CSR. However, CSRD may also exacerbate agency conflicts. This study addresses these two contrasting perspectives by investigating the impact of CSRD on investment efficiency and exploring ...

Some Dynamic Inequalities of Hilbert’s Type
Journal of Function Spaces, 2020 This paper is concerned with deriving some new dynamic Hilbert-type inequalities on time scales. The basic idea in proving the results is using some algebraic inequalities, Hölder’s inequality and Jensen’s inequality, on time scales. As a special case of

A Framework for Understanding and Evaluating Localization: The Case of HelpAge International
Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Many transnational non‐governmental organizations (TNGOs) are reevaluating their organizational forms and norms as they pursue localization. Localization itself is a contested and multifaceted concept, however, complicating the design, implementation, and evaluation of localization efforts.

Capacity and limitations of US wild meat donation programmes
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Historically, sharing of wild harvests to facilitate food security followed concepts of kin selection and reciprocal altruism. However, cultural shifts have reduced access to foods for some populations in modern times. Cultural altruism through sustainably harvested wild meat donation programmes (WDPs) can reduce food and nutritional ...

On the refinements of Jensen Mercer's inequality
Journal of Numerical Analysis and Approximation Theory, 2012 In this paper we give refinements of Jensen-Mercer's inequality and its generalizations and give applications for means. We prove \(n\)-exponential convexity of the functions constructed from these refinements. At the end we discuss some examples.

How Does Our Degrading System Perform?
Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We discuss the quality of performance of degrading systems when degradation is modeled by a stochastic process with independent increments and increasing sample paths. As an example, the gamma process is considered. First, for the continuously observed degradation, by comparing with the black‐box scenario (without observing degradation), the ...
