Lévy flights and earthquakes

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2000
Lévy flights representation is proposed to describe earthquake characteristics like the distribution of waiting times and position of hypocenters in a seismic region. Over 7500 microearthquakes and earthquakes from 1985 to 1994 were analyzed to test that

Promoting Healthier Drinking: Evidence From a Vignette Experiment on Contextual and Informational Drivers of Dealcoholized Wine Choices

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Growing demand for healthier beverages is driving innovation in the wine sector, with dealcoholized wine emerging as a promising alternative. However, little is known about the contextual conditions under which consumers would choose dealcoholized wine, particularly in countries with strong wine traditions. To fill this gap, this work examines

U.S. Agriculture, Biofuel Markets, and Trade: Challenges and Opportunities

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using an enhanced Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model (GTAP‐BIO), this study assesses how the expansion in demand for Electric Vehicles (EVs) and the reduction in exports of agricultural products induced by trade disputes negatively affect US agriculture.

Levy flight-improved grey wolf optimizer algorithm-based support vector regression model for dam deformation prediction

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Considering the strong non-linear time-varying behavior of dam deformation, a novel prediction model, called Levy flight-based grey wolf optimizer optimized support vector regression (LGWO-SVR), is proposed to forecast the displacements of hydropower ...

“It's Not Deterministic and It Will Never Be Deterministic”: A Qualitative Study on Stakeholder Perspectives of Polygenic Risk Score Testing for Post‐Traumatic Stress Disorder

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) causes significant mental and physical distress, yet only a small subset of individuals exposed to trauma develop the disorder. Scientists and clinicians are still unable to predict who will get the disorder or how it will manifest.

Quantifying the Sites of Government, Commercial, and Personal Systems‐Perpetrated Financial Abuse

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores the institutional systems through which post‐separation financial abuse is perpetrated. While existing measures seek to quantify the harms experienced by women post‐separation, this study draws on financial, welfare and legal service casefiles to identify where such harms occur. Drawing on 76 de‐identified Victorian service
