Abstract Widespread impacts of a warming planet are fuelling climate change mitigation efforts world-wide. Decision makers turning to forests, the largest terrestrial primary producer, as nature-based contribution efforts. Resource-based economies, however, have yet include carbon (C) in their resource planning, slowing implementation these important measures for atmospheric greenhouse gas redu...

Abstract For any open hyperbolic Riemann surface $X$, the Bergman kernel $K$, logarithmic capacity $c_{\beta }$, and analytic $c_{B}$ satisfy inequality chain $\pi K \geq c^2_{\beta } c^2_B$. Moreover, equality holds at a single point between two of three quantities if only $X$ is biholomorphic to disk possibly less relatively closed polar set. We extend by showing that $c_{B}^2 \pi v^{-1}(X)$ ...

Bi-capacities are a natural generalization of capacities (or fuzzy measures) in a context of decision making where underlying scales are bipolar. They are able to capture a wide variety of decision behaviours. After a short presentation of the basis structure, we introduce the Shapley value and the interaction index for capacities. Afterwards, the case of bi-capacities is studied with new axiom...

Plasma 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25-OHD) concentrations and 25-OHD binding capacities were measured in 14 elderly patients and in 14 young controls. Both 25-OHD concentrations and 25-OHD binding capacities were reduced in the elderly. In neither group, however, was there a significant correlation between 25-OHD binding capacities and 25-OHD concentrations. Thus, although 25-OHD binding capacities a...

in this study, energy consumption pattern, efficiency and the percentage of saved energy and inputs of poultry production farms in isfahan, nain and najafabad townships with different capacities were evaluated. the average of net energy gain per 1000 bird for capacities less than 10, 10-30 and more than 30 thousand pieces was calculated as -143.66, -129.58 and -94.99 gj/1000 bird, respectively....

the developmental, individual-difference, relationship-based model (dir) aims to describe and explain human psychological development in an integrated way. it has been believed that cognitive, linguistic, affective, personality abilities emerge within stages of “functional emotional development”. the human development influenced by a dynamic interaction among biopsyosocial variables. as a child...
