CLASS, PROPERTY RIGHTS AND CITIZENSHIP: Affluent Informal Settlements and the Cultural Production of Property in Delhi

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent scholarship has examined the informal activities of elites. While existing theories suggest that informality is a realm where the state guarantees unhindered access to land and property rights and, subsequently, citizenship entitlements for elites, they have yet to explain how affluent residents of informal colonies obtain citizenship ...

Rates of convergence of nonextensive statistical distributions to Levy distributions in full and half spaces

, 2000
The Levy-type distributions are derived using the principle of maximum Tsallis nonextensive entropy both in the full and half spaces. The rates of convergence to the exact Levy stable distributions are determined by taking the N-fold convolutions of ...

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

The shibirets4 mutation causes temperature sensitive paralytic and lethal phenotypes in the Queensland fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Bactrocera tryoni, the Queensland fruit fly, is among the most damaging insect pests to the Australian horticultural industry as larvae infest ripening fruits or vegetables prior to harvest. Genetic biocontrol using Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) programs have been used to successfully suppress populations, via mass release of factory‐reared ...

Multimodal stationary states under Cauchy noise

, 2019
A L\'evy noise is an efficient description of out-of-equilibrium systems. The presence of L\'evy flights results in a plenitude of noise-induced phenomena.

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 ...

Modeling the scaling properties of human mobility

, 2010
While the fat tailed jump size and the waiting time distributions characterizing individual human trajectories strongly suggest the relevance of the continuous time random walk (CTRW) models of human mobility, no one seriously believes that human traces ...

National identity after conquest

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Conquering powers routinely adopt state‐directed nationalization projects that seek to make the boundaries of the nation coterminous with the (newly expanded) boundaries of the state. To this end, they implement policies that elevate the economic status of individuals who embrace the occupier's national identity and discriminate against those ...

A Tempered Fractional Kinetic Transport Theory for Energetic Particle Interaction with Quasi-two-dimensional Turbulence in the Large-scale Solar Wind

The Astrophysical Journal
Observational evidence is accumulating that turbulence in the solar wind is intermittent (non-Gaussian) because of the strong presence of a quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D), low-frequency turbulence component containing nonpropagating, closed, small ...

Some Insights in Superdiffusive Transport

, 2007
In this paper we deal with high-order corrections for the Fractional Derivative approach to anomalous diffusion, in super-diffusive regime, which become relevand whenever one attempts to describe the behavior of particles close to normal diffusion ...
