Ergodic Theory and Averaging Iterations

, 1973
Suppose X is a Banach space and T a continuous linear operator on X. The significance of the asymptotic convergence of T for the approximate solution of the equation (I - T)x = f by means of the Picard iterations was clearly shown in Browder's and ...

Calcineurin‐Dependent Stress Adaptation Enables Caspofungin Heteroresistance Leading to Stable Resistance in Candida Glabrata

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Caspofungin heteroresistance is prevalent in clinical Candida glabrata isolates and depends on calcineurin‐mediated stress adaptation. This transient phenotype serves as a reservoir for resistance evolution, enabling the emergence of stable resistant descendants under prolonged drug pressure.

Computing positive fixed-points of decreasing Hammerstein operators by relaxed iterations [PDF]

, 2000
We prove global convergence of (under)relaxed Picard-like methods for fixed-point equations u = A(u),A : C+(Ω) → C+(Ω), Ω being a compact Hausdorff space.

Reporting What Matters, or Reporting What Looks Good? Materiality and Balance in Post–Rana Plaza Apparel Sustainability Disclosure

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability reports (SRs) are widely criticized for vague disclosures and selective emphasis on positive outcomes, yet systematic research on two core SR challenges remains limited: materiality (whether disclosed content is relevant) and balance (whether both achievements and challenges are reported).

Corticosterone and Mitochondrial Efficiency Are Associated With Changes in DNA Oxidative Damage During an Acute Stress Response in Leach's Storm‐Petrels (Hydrobates leucorhous)

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ability of organisms to effectively respond to challenges is critical for survival. We investigated how an acute stressor affected corticosterone, mitochondrial function, and DNA oxidative damage in a wild population of Leach's storm‐petrels (Hydrobates leucorhous).

Numerical simulation of the heat conduction in composite materials

Mathematical Modelling and Analysis, 2010
In this paper we develop and validate mathematical models and numerical algorithms for the heat transfer simulation in composite materials. The main features of the problem deal with the dependence of the heat source on the solution, discontinuous ...

Waves of range dynamics and gene flow characterize the biogeographic history of Litsea elongata, a dominant tree in East Asian evergreen broadleaved forests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Evergreen broadleaved forests (EBLFs) represent an iconic vegetation type in subtropical montane East Asia, but they are experiencing intensifying anthropogenic pressure and increasing habitat fragmentation. Here, using a dominant and widespread tree species characteristic of East Asian EBLFs, we examine its phylogeographic history and evaluate what it

On Equivalence of Some Iterations Convergence for Quasi-Contraction Maps in Convex Metric Spaces

Fixed Point Theory and Applications, 2010
We show the equivalence of the convergence of Picard and Krasnoselskij, Mann, and Ishikawa iterations for the quasi-contraction mappings in convex metric spaces.

The Mediator's Mind: Navigating Party Psychology and Behavioural Dynamics in Dispute Resolution

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mediation increasingly requires psychological competence, as mediators regulate emotion, cognition and interaction within conflict systems. This study examines how mediators' psychological awareness and behavioural reflexivity shape conflict trajectories, advancing the concept of a behavioural architecture that transforms emotional volatility ...
