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 ...

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

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.

Lévy-like movement patterns of metastatic cancer cells revealed in microfabricated systems and implicated in vivo

Nature Communications, 2018
Metastatic cancer cells differ from their non-metastatic counterparts not only in terms of molecular composition and genetics, but also by the very strategy they employ for locomotion.

Examination of references to anonymous thegns in administrative and legal texts suggests that the people meant were ...

Beyond Exceptional and Ordinary: Analysing the Effects of Emergency Frames on EU Renewable Energy Policy‐Making

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
