Evidence of structured Brownian dynamics from temperature time series analysis [PDF]

open access: yesNonlinear 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.

Human mammary epithelial cells exhibit a bimodal correlated random walk pattern.

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Brokers, Collaborators and Knowledge Translators: Expanding the Role of Research Assistants in Geographic Research

open access: yesAsia 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.

CUCKOO SEARCH VIA LÉVY FLIGHTS FOR OPTIMIZATION OF A PHYSICALLY-BASED RUNOFF-EROSION MODEL

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

A series of (un)fortunate events: Commercial bank interest rates and deposit reallocation during the Great Depression in the Netherlands

open access: yesThe 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

Under the cover of darkness: Foraging behaviour increases on cloudy, new moon nights in a pelagic seabird

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
While many visual predators feed exclusively during the day, others exploit foraging opportunities at night, although the efficiency with which they do so is strongly influenced by ambient light levels. We investigated the influence of variation in nocturnal light on the foraging behaviour of a small pelagic seabird, the European Storm‐petrel ...

Self‐Directed Teaching Strategies and Professional Learning in Technological Implementation: A Collaborative Autoethnography

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological integration into teaching offers significant pedagogical potential, yet it can also intensify the challenge of addressing systemic barriers to inclusion. This issue is especially important for teaching‐focused academics (TAs), who are increasingly leading classroom instruction and translating institutional digital priorities into
