“There Are Places Full of Beauty”: Desettling High School Students' Scientific Writing

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study contributes to desettling and expanding expectations about the forms of scientific language that belong in students' scientific writing. The primary empirical focus is the analysis of 52 high school student abstracts articulating community‐based investigations, submitted as part of their participation in a student conference in a ...

Exploratory Analysis of Sustainable Consumption and Production Factors in Services: Insights From Four Case Studies Using Interpretive Structural Modeling

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how 14 sustainable consumption and production (SCP) factors interact across four service categories—Mass Service, Professional Service, Service Factory, and Service Shop—using interpretive structural modeling (ISM). ISM enables the identification and hierarchical classification of interdependencies among SCP factors in ...

Transitive reduction of a nilpotent boolean matrix

Discrete Applied Mathematics, 1984
Given an acyclic digraph, a problem which frequently arises in applications consists in removing the maximum number of arcs without affecting reachability. This removal corresponds to a so-called transitive reduction of the adjacency matrix of the given digraph.

On the Transition Reduction Problem for Finite Automata [PDF]

Fundamenta Informaticae, 2014
In this paper we apply the concept of common follow sets (CFS) of a regular expression to homogeneous finite state automaton. Based on this concept and using particular binary trees, we devise an efficient algorithm to reduce (minimize) the number of transitions of the automaton recognizing the language L(En) denoted by the regular expression $E_n = (1

Social network dynamics under experimental manipulations of predation risk and food abundance in wild rock hyraxes

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study combines replicated experimental manipulation, social network analysis, network permutations and meta‐analysis to disentangle active from spatially‐induced changes in animal network structure in the wild. It reveals that short‐term environmental changes primarily alter space use, with limited effects on social structure.

Transition‐Metal‐Free Catalytic Reduction of Carbon Dioxide [PDF]

Chemistry – A European Journal, 2014
AbstractMetal‐free systems, including frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) have been shown to bind CO2. By reducing the Lewis acidity and basicity of the ambiphilic system, it is possible to generate active catalysts for the deoxygenative hydroboration of carbon dioxide to methanol derivatives with conversion rates comparable to those of transition‐metal ...

Towards an anthropology of acquisition: ‘How did you get that?’ Vers une anthropologie de l'acquisition : « Où as‐tu trouvé ça ? »

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
The production‐distribution‐consumption triad has structured how anthropologists understand exchange for roughly a century. This article argues for expanding this triad to include an explicit focus on acquisition – the systems, processes, and practices of acquiring.

Aggregated Compensation Peer Group Disclosure and Managerial Labor Market Competition: A Network Analysis

Journal of Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we develop novel measures of managerial labor market classification and competition by constructing networks of compensation benchmarking peers disclosed in proxy statements. These networks represent firms’ relative positions within the managerial labor market.

Efficacy of combined varenicline and nicotine replacement therapy compared with varenicline or nicotine replacement therapy alone for smoking cessation: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims To assess whether combining nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) with varenicline improves long‐term smoking cessation rates compared with varenicline or NRT alone. Method Systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or quasi‐RCTs, conducted according to PRISMA guidelines.
