TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed and tested a two-stage takeover model where attempted merger negotiations are followed by open auction, and they showed that toehold bidding has declined steadily since the early 1980s and is now surprisingly rare.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the existence of a smooth Lyapunov function is a necessary condition for weakly asymptotically stable differential inclusions, which is an extension to the context of Brockett's celebrated covering condition from continuous feedback stabilization theory.

TL;DR: The sustainable development of cities is increasingly recognized as crucial to meeting collectively agreed sustainability goals at local, regional and global scales, and more broadly to securing hu... as discussed by the authors,...

TL;DR: This review indicates that while research on the basic form of the JRP under the original classic assumptions may have slowed, there is much interest in new versions of the problem with relaxed assumptions, including dynamic or stochastic demand.

TL;DR: In a review of landscape-scale empirical studies, Fahrig as mentioned in this paper found that ecological responses to habitat fragmentation per se (fragmentation independent of habitat amount) were usually non-significant (>70% of responses) and that 76% of significant relationships were positive, with species abundance, occurrence, richness, and other response variables increasing with habitat fragmentation.
