Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

The Extended Legendre-Stirling Numbers of the First Kind
DEStech Transactions on Engineering and Technology Research, 2016 The Legendre-Stirling numbers of the first kind j n Ps are defined by the coefficients of Taylor expansion of the function x(x 2)(x 6)(x (n 1)n) by Andrews and Littlejohn (see "A combinatorial interpretation of the Legendre-Stirling numbers", Proc. Amer. Math. Soc, 137: 2581-2590, 2009). In this paper, two new kinds of numbers jn Ps (n

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We are interested in investigating whether firms use political donations as a license to neglect environmental sustainability. We further deepen the examination by exploring the role of executive contracting. Drawing on a wide range of data between 2002 and 2021 and a global sample, our findings confirm that firms use political contributions ...

Heat Load Mitigation Studies in the W7‐X Stellarator Experiment
Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT During the experiments at the stellarator Wendelstein 7‐X (W7‐X) with fully water‐cooled plasma‐facing components (PFC), including carbon‐fiber composite (CFC) divertor targets with a thermal load capability of 10 MW/m2, high performance was achieved.

Stable Cuts, NAC‐Colourings and Flexible Realisations of Graphs
Journal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A (2‐dimensional) realisation of a graph G $G$ is a pair ( G , p ) $(G,p)$, where p $p$ maps the vertices of G $G$ to R 2 ${{\mathbb{R}}}^{2}$. A realisation is flexible if it can be continuously deformed while keeping the edge lengths fixed, and rigid otherwise.

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 ...

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}_{\
