Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species
Insect Science, EarlyView.Four Drosophilidae species were used to investigate how variation in the host microbiome influences susceptibility to infection. Microbial composition and abundance differed among species and treatments. The effects of microbiome manipulation on host survival were both species‐ and pathogen‐specific.

Dilemmas of Civilian Participation in Military Deterrence and Defence: Legal and Ethical Dimensions
Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT How can civilians participate in deterrence and defence in ways that do not jeopardize their immunity from deliberate attack? The principle of civilian immunity from deliberate attack in war is a core element of contemporary international humanitarian law (IHL). Uniformed combatants and others who take up arms pose a threat may be liable to be

Lévy Flight Model of Gaze Trajectories to Assist in ADHD Diagnoses
EntropyThe precise mathematical description of gaze patterns remains a topic of ongoing debate, impacting the practical analysis of eye-tracking data. In this context, we present evidence supporting the appropriateness of a Lévy flight description for eye-gaze ...

Dependent jump processes with coupled Lévy measures [PDF]
I present a simple method for the modeling and simulation of dependent positive jump processes through a series representation. Each constituent process is represented by a series whose terms are equal to a transformation of the jump times of a standard ...

Random walks, Lévy flights, Markov chains and metaheuristic optimization
, 2013 Stochastic components such as random walks have become an intrinsic part of modern metaheursitic algorithms. The efficiency of a metaheuristic algorithm may implicitly depend on the appropriate use of such randomization.

Step-flow growth of a crystal surface by Lévy flights
, 2008 Step-flow growth of a crystal surface is considered in the case when the adatom diffusion on the terraces is governed by Lévy flights. A superdiffusive analog of the Burton-Cabrera-Frank (BCF) theory is developed, and the step-flow velocity is found as a

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 ...

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.
