The American Journal of Economics and Sociology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The transport sector is one of the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions, making it a key priority for climate mitigation policies. In this context, renewable fuels represent a promising complementary pathway to transport electrification, particularly due to their compatibility with existing internal combustion engine ...

Branching annihilating Lévy flights: Irreversible phase transitions with long-range exchanges
, 2002 The branching annihilation walk (BAW) process is generalized allowing either the particles or the offsprings (or both) to undergo Lévy flights, where the flying length (l) is a random variable with a probability distribution given by $P(l) \propto l^{-d -

Norman and Nietzsche: The Political Project of Lindsay's The Magic Pudding
Australian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.Australian artist and writer Norman Lindsay (1879–1969) wrote 11 novels and two children's books, one of which—The Magic Pudding first published in 1918—remains a national classic. This article argues that readers and critics have long misunderstood Lindsay's intention in writing this lengthy cartoon‐story about the adventures of Bunyip Bluegum in ...

Crime modeling with truncated Lévy flights for residential burglary models
, 2018 Statistical agent-based models for crime have shown that repeat victimization can lead to predictable crime hotspots (see e.g. M. B. Short, M. R. D’Orsogna, V. B. Pasour, G. E. Tita, P. J. Brantingham, A. L. Bertozzi and L. B.

Revisiting Lévy flights on bounded domains: a Fock space approach
, 2020 The statistical description of a one-dimensional superdiffusive Lévy flier restricted to a finite domain is well known to be technically involving. For example, in this type of process the probability distribution P(x, t) and survival probability S(t ...

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract How can defense alliances reap the efficiency gains of working together when coordination and opportunism costs are high? Although specializing as part of a collective comes with economic and functional benefits, states must bargain over the distribution of those gains and ensure the costs of collective action are minimized.

Evidence of structured Brownian dynamics from temperature time series analysis [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 1997 An analysis of time series of monthly mean temperatures ranging from 1895 to 1989 is performed through application of Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) to data of several places in the USA.

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While ‘local’ research assistants (RA) often play a key role in knowledge production in fieldwork‐based disciplines like geography, their role and agency often remain silenced. This paper brings together scholarship in feminist geography and critical development studies to reposition RAs as brokers, collaborators, and knowledge translators.

Human mammary epithelial cells exhibit a bimodal correlated random walk pattern.
PLoS ONE, 2010 BackgroundOrganisms, at scales ranging from unicellular to mammals, have been known to exhibit foraging behavior described by random walks whose segments confirm to Lévy or exponential distributions.
