Home range size is a fundamental concept for understanding animal dispersion and ecological needs, and it is one of the most commonly reported ecological attributes of free-ranging mammals. Previous studies indicate that red foxes Vulpes vulpes display great variability in home range size. Yet, there has been little consensus regarding the reasons why home range sizes of red foxes vary so exten...

An inverse-conjugate composition of a positive integer m is an ordered partition of m whose conjugate coincides with its reversal. In this paper we consider inverseconjugate compositions in which the part sizes do not exceed a given integer k. It is proved that the number of such inverse-conjugate compositions of 2n − 1 is equal to 2F n , where F (k) n is a Fibonacci k-step number. We also give...

The indicators used in economics to calculate the productivity scale are not always positive, therefore, existing models need to be developed to calculate the productivity scale for the semi-negative and semi-positive output index. However, companies with a lack of capacity need to achieve economies of scale and demand for realization simultaneously in the presence of a negative outflow index, ...
