Canadian Public Administration, EarlyView.Abstract Oil and gas transitions are relatively new and especially difficult because the sector is large, economically central, and deeply embedded in national energy systems. Territorial approaches—grounded in regional political economies, institutions, and community impacts—offer a politically feasible way to begin meaningful oil and gas transitions ...

Trauma, Testimony and Lower Secondary Holocaust Education in Rywka Lipszyc's and Otto Wolf's Diaries
Children &Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article examines how Holocaust‐related trauma is represented in two diaries written by Jewish adolescents during the Second World War: Rywka Lipszyc's diary and Otto Wolf's diary. The article combines a thematically guided close reading of the diaries with a didactic discussion of their possible use in lower secondary literary education ...

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

Some remarks on first passage of Lévy processes, the American put and pasting principles [PDF]
, 2005 The purpose of this article is to provide, with the help of a fluctuation identity, a generic link between a number of known identities for the first passage time and overshoot above/below a fixed level of a Lévy process and the solution of Gerber and ...

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

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

Ibis, 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Optimal search in interacting populations: Gaussian jumps versus Lévy flights [PDF]
, 2015 We investigated the relationships between search efficiency, movement strategy, and nonlocal communication in the biological context of animal foraging. We considered situations where the members of a population of foragers perform either Gaussian jumps ...
