Geodesic Lévy flights and expected stopping time for random searches [PDF]
We give an analytic description for the infinitesimal generator constructed in Applebaum and Estrade (Ann Probab 28(1):166-184, 2000) for Lévy flights on a broad class of closed Riemannian manifolds including all negatively-curved manifolds, the flat ...

Optimal search patterns in honeybee orientation flights are robust against emerging infectious diseases. [PDF]
, 2016 Published onlineJournal ArticleLévy flights are scale-free (fractal) search patterns found in a wide range of animals. They can be an advantageous strategy promoting high encounter rates with rare cues that may indicate prey items, mating partners or ...

The Developing Economies, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Gender inequalities persist across various domains where traditional social norms are deeply ingrained. This study examines gendered perceptions of career decision‐making autonomy in the Philippines through self‐determination, social role, and gender congruity theories.

CUCKOO SEARCH VIA LÉVY FLIGHTS FOR OPTIMIZATION OF A PHYSICALLY-BASED RUNOFF-EROSION MODEL
Journal of Urban and Environmental Engineering, 2012 This paper aims to calibrate a physically-based, event-oriented runoff-erosion model by means of a global optimization method known as cuckoo-host co-evolution (CHC) which has co-evolutionary changes incorporated into the traditional cuckoo search ...

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract During the global economic crisis of 1929–33, deposits in the Dutch commercial banking sector sharply declined as funds shifted to the government‐guaranteed Post Office Savings Bank and other savings institutions. Unlike earlier studies for neighbouring countries, we demonstrate that this shift was driven less by a flight to safety and more by

Emergence of encounter networks due to human mobility.
PLoS ONE, 2017 There is a burst of work on human mobility and encounter networks. However, the connection between these two important fields just begun recently. It is clear that both are closely related: Mobility generates encounters, and these encounters might give ...

A signal processing method: Detection of Lévy flights in chaotic trajectories
, 2012 International audienceTransport in low dimensional Hamiltonian chaos can be anomalous due to stickiness and rise of Lévy flights. We suggest a signal processing method to detect these flights in signals, in order to characterize the nature of transport ...

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Estuary dependence to the survival of Chinook salmon was investigated at the Campbell River estuary, British Columbia, Canada. Replicate batches of marked smolts were transferred from a hatchery and released in 1983, 1984 and 1985 at four ecosystems, two that ensured estuarine experience (river, estuary) and two seawards of the estuary ...

War as a Phenomenon of Inquiry in Management Studies
Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.Abstract We argue that war as a phenomenon deserves more focused attention in management. First, we highlight why war is an important and relevant area of inquiry for management scholars. We then integrate scattered conversations on war in management studies into a framework structured around three building blocks – (a) the nature of war from an ...

Duplicitous Remembrance: Confessing Self‐Deception with Augustine
Modern Theology, EarlyView.Abstract While self‐deception has long been a topic of interest in psychology and analytic philosophy—and increasingly in the academic study of theology and religion—direct engagement with Augustine on self‐deception remains underexplored in contemporary scholarship.
