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 ...

Generalized Jensen and Jensen–Mercer inequalities for strongly convex functions with applications

open access: yesJournal of Inequalities and Applications
Strongly convex functions as a subclass of convex functions, still equipped with stronger properties, are employed through several generalizations and improvements of the Jensen inequality and the Jensen–Mercer inequality.

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 ...

New Upper Bounds for the Weighted Chebyshev Functional

open access: yesAnnales Mathematicae Silesianae
New upper bounds for the weighted Chebyshev functional under various conditions, including those of Steffensen type, are given. The obtained results are used to establish some new bounds for the Jensen functional.

Recursive Feasibility of Nonlinear Stochastic Model Predictive Control With Gaussian Process Dynamics

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Data‐based learning of system dynamics allows model‐based control approaches to be applied to systems with partially unknown dynamics. Gaussian process regression is a preferred approach that outputs not only the learned system model but also the variance of the model, which can be seen as a measure of uncertainty.

On approximate Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The main results of this paper offer sufficient conditions in order that an approximate lower Hermite–Hadamard type inequality implies an approximate Jensen convexity property.

A variational perturbation scheme for many-particle systems in the functional integral approach

open access: yes, 2000
A variational Perturbation theory based on the functional integral approach is formulated for many-particle systems. Using the variational action obtained through Jensen-Peierls' inequality, a perturbative expansion scheme for the thermodynamic potential

Ontologies for Sustainability: Theoretical Challenges

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The lack of sustainable practices in key sectors of human societies is a global concern, posing threats for the whole planet. This paper provides the first review of ontologies for sustainability efforts, outlining their roles in assessing and advancing such efforts. Section 2 outlines three major challenges associated with sustainability: (1)

Non-commutative f-divergence functional

open access: yes, 2013
We introduce the non-commutative $f$-divergence functional $\Theta(\widetilde{A},\widetilde{B}):=\int_TB_t^{\frac{1}{2}}f\left(B_t^{-\frac{1}{2}} A_tB_t^{-\frac{1}{2}}\right)B_t^{\frac{1}{2}}d\mu(t)$ for an operator convex function $f$, where $\widetilde{
