Water Use Behavior of Individual Birds: Ring Ouzels in an Arid High‐Mountain Ecosystem
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Water is a limiting resource for birds in arid ecosystems. Individual birds differ strongly in how they use shared water sources, with drinking behavior increasing with temperature. Behavioral differences, hierarchy, and social context ultimately shape unequal access to water within the population. ABSTRACT Water availability strongly constrains animal

First order optimality conditions in set-valued optimization [PDF]
A a set-valued optimization problem minC F(x), x 2 X0, is considered, where X0 X, X and Y are Banach spaces, F : X0 Y is a set-valued function and C Y is a closed cone.

Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, EarlyView.Abstract This article analyses to what degree Benjamin Robins's discoveries in his book New Principles of Gunnery, 1742, affected the British mathematical, military, and educational world of the mid‐eighteenth century. While it drew praise and critique from Europe, especially from the notable mathematician Leonhard Euler, his mathematical theories were

Well-posed Vector Optimization Problems and Vector Variational Inequalities [PDF]
In this paper we introduce notions of well-posedness for a vector optimization problem and for a vector variational inequality of differential type, we study their basic properties and we establish the links among them.

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract Why and when do cities vote for the left? The emergence of the urban–rural divide in the United States in the 1930s is inconsistent with canonical theories of cleavages. This paper introduces an explanation: agglomeration effects. The provision of government services is more efficient in urban environments because of nonrivalries, economies of

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.Abstract This paper develops a two‐period model to investigate how fiscal and bureaucratic asymmetries shape yardstick competition (YC), inter‐municipal cooperation (IMC), and rent‐seeking in local public service provision. Unlike previous approaches, we allow incumbents to invest in bureaucratic efficiency, influencing both service quality and ...

Calibrating Bayesian inference
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Bayesian statistics has gained popularity in psychological research due to its intuitive uncertainty quantification and convenient information‐updating rules. In many applications, however, prior distributions are introduced merely as instruments to facilitate computation, rather than as representations of genuine subjective belief ...

Computing Skinning Weights via Convex Duality
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.We present an alternate optimization method to compute bounded biharmonic skinning weights. Our method relies on a dual formulation, which can be optimized with a nonnegative linear least squares setup. Abstract We study the problem of optimising for skinning weights through the lens of convex duality.

An Inexact Penalty Method for Non Stationary Generalized Variational Inequalities [PDF]
, 2015 © 2014, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht. We consider a set-valued (generalized) variational inequality problem in a finite-dimensional setting, where only approximation sequences are known instead of exact values of the cost mapping and ...

The Story(line) So Far: A Survey on Storyline Visualization
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Storyline visualizations model narratives as temporal networks, using x‐monotone lines to represent entities and their interactions over time. This technique offers an intuitive way to reveal structural patterns over time, such as character co‐occurrence and narrative flow.
