Psychological Contracts With Purpose: A Review and Path Forward

Journal of Organizational Behavior, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review advances the understanding of psychological contracts (PCs) that include third‐party beneficiaries and transcend self‐interested goals, which we term “PCs with purpose.” PC theory has challenged the assumption that social exchange relies solely on balanced rewards and inducements, highlighting that individuals may wish to ...

Micromachined Ortho-Planar Springs for a Micro-Stirling Engine

IEEE Access
As an enabling technology for a micro-Stirling engine, this paper explores the design, fabrication, and testing of a circular slit diaphragm silicon MEMS spring and maps the design space to enable large linear deflections with a circular geometry.

Convolution Identities of Stirling Numbers

Utilitas Mathematica
By means of the generating function method, a linear recurrence relation is explicitly resolved. The solution is expressed in terms of the Stirling numbers of both the first and the second kind. Two remarkable pairs of combinatorial identities (Theorems 3.1 and 3.3) are established as applications, that contain some well–known convolution formulae on ...

Quantifying user variability in the traditional X‐ray ice‐rafted‐debris counting technique

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The flux of icebergs is most commonly constrained in the palaeo‐record by manually counting gravel clasts in sediment core X‐ray images—a trusted method in Quaternary science and palaeoceanography for nearly 40 years. In this study, we explore the reproducibility (user consistency and between‐user variability) of the traditional clast‐counting

Novel Bernstein‐Kantorovich Type Operators

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we introduce a novel class of Bernstein‐Kantorovich operators, denoted as Kβn,θ$$ {K}_{\beta}^{n,\theta } $$, parameterized by 0<β<1$$ 0<\beta <1 $$ and θ>0$$ \theta >0 $$. We first derive a recurrence formula that facilitates the computation of moments and central moments and provide explicit expressions for Kβn,θ(tm;x)$$ {K}_{\

Exploring probabilistic Bernstein polynomials: identities and applications

Applied Mathematics in Science and Engineering
In this paper, we introduce the probabilistic Bernstein polynomials and derive new and interesting correlations among several special functions and special number sequences such as Euler polynomials, Bernoulli polynomials of higher order, Frobenius–Euler

The impact of COVID‐19 on public perceptions of wild meat in Central Africa

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat is a significant source of food and income generation in Central Africa. However, there is little knowledge of how the assumed link between COVID‐19 and wild meat consumption has been discussed by the media and received by the public. In this study, we conducted media content analysis of 264 articles published in 2019–2020 related to

Heat engines for scale invariant systems dual to black holes

Communications Physics
According to holography, a black hole is dual to a thermal state in a strongly coupled quantum system. One of the best-known examples of holography is the Anti-de Sitter/Conformal Field Theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence.
