Capacity and limitations of US wild meat donation programmes

open access: yesPeople 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 ...

Finite-time passivity for neutral-type neural networks with time-varying delays – via auxiliary function-based integral inequalities

open access: yesNonlinear Analysis, 2020
In this paper, we investigated the problem of the finite-time boundedness and finitetime passivity for neural networks with time-varying delays. A triple, quadrable and five integral terms with the delay information are introduced in the new Lyapunov ...

Bank insolvency risk and aggregate Z-score measures: a caveat [PDF]

open access: yes
We demonstrate that a popular approach to constructing (weighted) mean-based aggregate bank insolvency risk measures is inherently biased; we also suggest an alternative approach that avoids this problem.insolvency risk, aggregate Z-score, Jensen's ...

Sociodemographic and regional differences in human–coyote interactions and human attitudes towards coyotes

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Attitudes and emotions shape how humans perceive and behave towards wildlife, making them a key component affecting human–wildlife coexistence. In addition to direct experience with wildlife, research shows that sociodemographic characteristics and locality can influence a person's relationship with wildlife through cultural norms, economic ...

On Jensen’s type inequalities via generalized majorization inequalities

open access: yesFilomat, 2018
In this paper, we give generalizations of Jensen?s, Jensen-Steffensen?s and converse of Jensen?s inequalities by using generalized majorization inequalities. We also present Gr?ss and Ostrowski-type inequalities for the generalized inequalities.

Weaving for action: Transformative change in biodiversity monitoring

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The Post‐2020 Kunming‐Montreal Biodiversity Framework aims to drive transformative change to halt biodiversity loss. To track progress toward its goals and targets, a dedicated monitoring framework has been established. The current biodiversity monitoring framework relies on a set of indicators developed through a unidirectional process of ...

Comparison Between Bayesian and Frequentist Tail Probability Estimates

open access: yes, 2019
In this paper, we investigate the reasons that the Bayesian estimator of the tail probability is always higher than the frequentist estimator. Sufficient conditions for this phenomenon are established both by using Jensen's Inequality and by looking at ...
