CSR Governance Committee and Carbon Emission Performance: Does Committee Composition Matter?
International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) committee characteristics, namely the committee size, independence, chairperson independence, and meeting frequency, on firms' carbon emission performance. The authors test the hypotheses through a panel data analysis for a sample of non‐financial firms listed on the ...

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.Abstract Background Research suggests that Attention‐Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) may be associated with narrative language (or storytelling) difficulties, and executive functioning is hypothesized to underlie this association. However, the contribution of executive function to the narrative language production of children with ADHD is unclear

Bears in North America: Habitats, hunting, and politics
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We review the management status of the 3 species of bears in North America: the black bear, the grizzly bear, and the polar bear. The history of hunting has played a large role in the current management for bears, but the future viability of bear populations will depend on attention to protecting adequate habitats.

Stirling Engine Configuration Selection
Energies, 2018 Unlike internal combustion engines, Stirling engines can be designed to work with many drive mechanisms based on the three primary configurations, alpha, beta and gamma.

Generalized Stirling Numbers and Generalized Stirling Functions
, 2011 Here presented is a unified approach to Stirling numbers and their generalizations as well as generalized Stirling functions by using generalized factorial functions, $k$-Gamma functions, and generalized divided difference. Previous well-known extensions of Stirling numbers due to Riordan, Carlitz, Howard, Charalambides-Koutras, Gould-Hopper, Hsu-Shiue,

Two Types of q$$ q $$‐Gaussian Distributions Used to Study the Diffusion in a Finite Region
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this work, we explore both the ordinary q$$ q $$‐Gaussian distribution and a new one defined here, determining both their mean and variance, and we use them to construct solutions of the q$$ q $$‐deformed diffusion differential equation. This approach allows us to realize that the standard deviation of the distribution must be a function of

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Conservation performance payments are becoming an increasingly popular instrument to tackle human–wildlife conflicts. In Sweden, Sámi communities practicing reindeer husbandry receive performance payments as compensation for reindeer losses caused by lynxes and wolverines.

On a Recurrence involving Stirling Numbers
European Journal of Combinatorics, 1984 We count the number Z(n) of (not necessarily maximal) chains from 0 to 1 in the partition lattice of an n-set. This function satisfies the recurrence Z(n)=∑k−1n−1S(n,k)Z(k) where S(n, k) denotes the Stirling numbers of the second kind. We find the asymptotic order of magnitude of Z(n).
