Restoring Food System Resilience in a Turbulent World: Supply Chain Actors' Shared Responsibility

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ecological and economic crises increasingly affect the long‐term resilience of the food supply chain. This qualitative study draws on semistructured interviews and public evidence to analyse the perspectives of British supply chain actors. Asking which pathways towards food system resilience arise and which forms of social and environmental ...

INEQUALITIES FOR SOME SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

open access: yesRatio Mathematica, 1992
The present paper is expository. We give a survey of some simple methods for finding bounds for some special functions. Our results are based on the recurrence relations satisfied by these functions and on some integral representations.

Parameter Estimation for the Log-Logistic Distribution Based on Order Statistics

open access: yesRevstat Statistical Journal, 2018
In this paper, we discuss the moments and product moments of the order statistics in a sample of size n drawn from the log-logistic distribution. We provide more compact forms for the mean, variance and covariance of order statistics.

Recurrence relations for the Sheffer sequences [PDF]

open access: yesLinear Algebra and its Applications, 2012
AbstractIn this paper, using the production matrix of an exponential Riordan array [g(t),f(t)], we give a recurrence relation for the Sheffer sequence for the ordered pair (g(t),f(t)). We also develop a new determinant representation for the general term of the Sheffer sequence.

How Companies With Industrial Symbiosis Business Models Can Contribute to the Mainstreaming of Industrial Symbiosis

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Companies incorporating industrial symbiosis in their business models (ISBMs) play important roles in the realization of IS solutions. This paper explores how this group can also influence contextual conditions for the wider adoption of these solutions, thus contributing to their mainstreaming.

To Tell or Not to Tell? On the Under Communicating of Sustainability in Digital Environments

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The paper investigates sustainability communication using digital tools—such as social media, websites, emails, and newsletters—and delves into the drivers that determine the undercommunication of sustainability (i.e., the green blushing phenomenon) in digital environments.

Some results on generalized Appell functions

open access: yesRevista Técnica de la Facultad de Ingeniería, 2006
Recientemente A. H. Al-Shammery y S. L. Kalla presentaron generalizaciones para las funciones de Appell Fi(w,z) (i = 1,2,3), introduciendo los parámetros . En este trabajo se representan las funciones de Appell generalizadas (w,z) (i = 1,2,3) en términos

Recurrence relations based on minimization

open access: yesJournal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 1974
AbstractThis paper investigates solutions of the general recurrence M(0) = g(0), M(n + 1) = g(n + 1) + min0⩽k⩽n(αM(k) + βM(n − k)) for various choices of α, β, and g(n). In a large number of cases it is possible to prove that M(n) is a convex function whose values can be computed much more efficiently than would be suggested by the defining recurrence.

Enablers and Constraints of Environmental Sustainability Integration: A Structuration Perspective on Professional Sports Organizations

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Integrating environmental sustainability (ES) into organizational strategies and operations remains a persistent challenge, particularly in fields where environmental concerns are not yet embedded within dominant institutional norms and standards of behavior. In such contexts, ES risks being overshadowed by economic and operational priorities,
