The Social Climbing Game [PDF]
Journal of Statistical Physics, 2012 The structure of a society depends, to some extent, on the incentives of the individuals they are composed of. We study a stylized model of this interplay, that suggests that the more individuals aim at climbing the social hierarchy, the more society's ...

Physics of free climbing [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2021 Theory of stochastic processes provides theoretical tools which can be efficiently used to explore properties of noise induced escape kinetics. Since noise facilitated escape over the potential barrier resembles free climbing, one can use the first passage time theory in analysis of rock climbing.

Biomechanics of climbing palms and how they climb [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2009 Climbing plants have fascinated botanists since the pioneering works of Darwin and his contemporaries in the 19(th) century. Diverse plants have evolved different ways of climbing and a wide range of attachment devices and stem biomechanics to cope with the particular physical demands of life as a climber. We investigated the biomechanics of attachment

Nudged-elastic band method with two climbing images: finding transition states in complex energy landscapes [PDF]
, 2014 The nudged-elastic band (NEB) method is modified with concomitant two climbing images (C2-NEB) to find a transition state (TS) in complex energy landscapes, such as those with serpentine minimal energy path (MEP).

Nature, 1879 THE aquarium of the Zoological Society's Gardens in Regent's Park has lately received a contribution of five specimens of the “Climbing Perch” (Anabas scandens). They were very kindly obtained for me by my friend, Mr. A. Ferguson, of Colombo, Ceylon, and were brought home in excellent condition by my brother, Mr. A. F. Dobson. Mr.

Reporting climbing grades and grouping categories for rock climbing [PDF]
Isokinetics and Exercise Science, 2011 Rock climbing is an increasingly popular adventure sport with a growing research base. To date the growth of research and reporting styles has been somewhat haphazard and as a consequence comparison between studies can be problematic. The aim of this paper was to make suggestions about a number of changes that could be made to improve the consistency ...
