Unified treatment of fractional integral inequalities via linear functionals

In the paper we prove several inequalities involving two isotonic linear functionals. We consider inequalities for functions with variable bounds, for Lipschitz and H\" older type functions etc. These results give us an elegant method for obtaining a number of inequalities for various kinds of fractional integral operators such as for the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral operator, the Hadamard fractional integral operator, fractional hyperqeometric integral and corresponding q-integrals

Making an impact: The influence of policies to reduce emissions from aviation on the business travel patterns of individual corporations

The contribution of aviation to global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is projected to triple by 2050. As nations strive to meet CO2 reduction targets, policy interventions to manage the growth of emissions arising from air travel are likely. Here, we investigate the potential influence of aviation emissions reduction policies on the business travel patterns of individual corporations. Using travel data from six UK-based companies, we find that increased ticket prices can deliver substantial emissions cuts, particularly on premium class flights, and may provide strong financial incentives to seek modal and/or technological alternatives to flying. We also find that corporations from different business sectors vary in their responsiveness to arange of policy options. Finally, we examine questionnaire data to determine whether companies more broadly are going beyond compliance to mitigate their environmental impact by managing travel-related emissions voluntarily. Although many corporations are measuring and reporting emissions, only a limited number are willing to implement in-house reduction policies prior to regulation

Radiocarbon profiles of the NW Pacific from the LGM and deglaciation : evaluating ventilation metrics and the effect of uncertain surface reservoir ages

Author Posting. © American Geophysical Union, 2015. This article is posted here by permission of American Geophysical Union for personal use, not for redistribution. The definitive version was published in Paleoceanography 30 (2015): 174–195, doi:10.1002/2014PA002649.During the last deglaciation, the ventilation of the subarctic Pacific is hypothesized to have changed dramatically, including the rejuvenation of a poorly ventilated abyssal water mass that filled the deep ocean, and fluctuations in the strength of North Pacific intermediate and deep water formation at millennial timescales. Foraminiferal radiocarbon reconstructions of past ventilation changes in the Pacific are valuable but are hampered by poor carbonate preservation, low sediment accumulation rates, bias from bioturbation, and poorly constrained past surface reservoir age. In this study, we present paired benthic-planktonic radiocarbon measurements from the Okhotsk Sea and Emperor Seamounts. We take advantage of large contemporaneous peaks in benthic abundances from the last glacial maximum, Bolling-Allerod (BA), and early Holocene to produce time slices of radiocarbon from 1 to 4 km water depth. We explore the impact of uncertain surface reservoir age and evaluate several approaches to quantifying past ocean radiocarbon distribution using our NW Pacific data and a compilation of published data from the North Pacific. Both the calendar age and the absolute value of an ocean radiocarbon estimate depend on the assumed surface reservoir age. But for a time slice from a small geographical area with radiocarbon-independent stratigraphic correlation between cores, the shape of a water column profile is independent of surface reservoir age. The NW Pacific profiles are similar in shape to the compilation profiles for the entire North Pacific, which suggests that deglacial surface reservoir age changes across the N Pacific did not diverge dramatically across the areas sampled. The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) profile >2 km spans a wide range of values, ranging from values similar to today to lower than today. However, by the BA the profile has a similar shape to today. Ultimately, local surface reservoir ages, end-member water mass composition, and mixing ratios must each be constrained before a radiocarbon activity reconstruction can be used to confidently infer ventilation changes.Support for this project was from NSF grants 0526764, 8312240, and 9912122, and the Williams College Divisional Research Funding Committee.

HUBUNGAN ANTARA PERTUMBUHAN DAN PERKEMBANGAN ANAK TERHADAP PRESTASI BELAJAR SISWA/I SD KELAS I

Pertumbuhan dan perkembangan yang mengalami gangguan akan mengurangi kemampuan dan konsentrasi belajar anak sehingga mengakibatkan penurunan prestasi belajar, misalnya kekurangan zat gizi menyebabkan pertumbuhan sel otak berkurang 15%-20%, sehingga anak kelak di kemudian hari hanya mempunyai kualitas otak sekitar 80%-85%. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan antara pertumbuhan dan perkembangan anak terhadap prestasi belajar siswa/i SD kelas I. Jenis penelitian ini adalah analitik observasional dengan desain cross sectional, diakukan pada bulan November-Desember 2015. Tumbuh Kembang anak di ukur menggunakan formulir Denver Development Screening Test (DDST) dan pengukuran Antropometri yang dikategorikan menjadi normal dan abnormal. Prestasi belajar dilihat dari buku laporan akademik dan dikategorikan menjadi baik dan kurang baik. Analisis menggunakan Chi-Square. Dari 50 subjek penelitian, didapatkan perkembangan anak normal 87,0%, abnormal 13,0%. Hasil uji Chi-Square didapatkan adanya hubungan antara pertumbuhan dan perkembangan anak umur 5 sampai 6 tahun terhadap prestasi belajar dengan pvalue 0,007 (
