A Refinement of Jensen's Discrete Inequality for Differentiable Convex Functions [PDF]
, 2002 A refinement of Jensen’s discrete inequality and applications for the celebrated Arithmetic Mean – Geometric Mean – Harmonc Mean inequality and Cauchy-Schwartz-Bunikowski inequality are pointed ...

Bounds for the expected value of one-step processes [PDF]
, 2015 Mean-field models are often used to approximate Markov processes with large state-spaces. One-step processes, also known as birth-death processes, are an important class of such processes and are processes with state space $\{0,1,\ldots,N\}$ and where ...

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Recruiting and retaining school leaders is a challenge in many systems worldwide. Previous research has identified three distinct ways in which succession planning can be conceptualised and approached: a ‘pipeline’ approach seeks to match supply and demand for the posts that need filling; a ‘pool’ strategy involves proactively identifying and ...

If $B$ and $f(B)$ are Brownian motions, then $f$ is affine [PDF]
, 2015 It is shown that if the processes $B$ and $f(B)$ are both Brownian motions (without a random time change) then $f$ must be an affine function. As a by-product of the proof, it is shown that the only functions which are solutions to both the Laplace ...

What works in internal alternative provision? A salutogenic analysis
British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Schools across England are setting up ‘internal alternative provision’ to meet the social, emotional and mental health needs of increasing numbers of pupils at risk of suspension, exclusion and absence. However, there is little guidance about what good practice looks like.

The Impact of Acquisition Intensity on ESG Performance
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates the impact of Acquisition Intensity on ESG performance using a panel of 1,736 US‐listed companies from 2002 to 2023. Employing a robust OLS framework, we assess both Value‐Based and Volume‐Based Acquisition Intensity against overall ESG scores and their environmental, social, and governance pillars, controlling for firm
