Pressure‐driven flow in thin straight tubes of non‐uniform cross‐section
Abstract We analyze stationary Stokes flow of a Navier–Stokes fluid in a thin tube with a variable cross‐section. The objective is to derive a simplified model by examining the asymptotic behavior as the tube's thickness approaches zero. The flow is driven by a pressure gradient between the inlet and outlet, which is modeled by prescribing the normal ...

Asymptotic behaviour of the one-dimensional ``rock-paper-scissors'' cyclic cellular automaton [PDF]
22 pages, figures in colorThe one-dimensional three-state cyclic cellular automaton is a simple spatial model with three states in a cyclic ``rock-paper-scissors'' prey-predator relationship. Starting from a random configuration, similar states gather in

Flipping the Conditional: Why We Are Probably Wrong About Probabilities
ABSTRACT Flipping the conditional is an error of reasoning that occurs when we inadvertently transpose the terms in a conditional probability. A conditional probability arises when the probability of an event occurring (e.g., a positive test result) depends on another event being true (e.g., the presence of a disease).

Transportation inequalities: From Poisson to Gibbs measures
We establish an optimal transportation inequality for the Poisson measure on the configuration space. Furthermore, under the Dobrushin uniqueness condition, we obtain a sharp transportation inequality for the Gibbs measure on $\mathbb{N}^{\Lambda}$ or ...

Reflections on Complexity, Evidence, and Law
Abstract The pursuit of knowledge in many disciplines is undergoing a transformation from standard reductionist efforts popularly captured by “the scientific method” to embracing the framework of complexity theory and complex adaptive systems. That framework is invaluable to understand both the law of evidence and the nature of the American legal ...

A High Resolution Pressure-Based Method for Compressible Fluid Flow [PDF]
A pressure-based Euler scheme, based on a collocated grid arrangement is described. The newly developed algorithm has two new prominent features: (i) the use of normalized variables to bound the convective fluxes and (ii) the use of a high-resolution ...

Legal Methodology and Complexity: A Comment on Allen
Abstract This article is a response to Ronald J. Allen's “Reflections on Complexity, Evidence, and Law.” I begin by analyzing three key concepts that Allen employs in his argument: reductionism, emergence, and complexity. On the basis of this analysis, I question Allen's criticism of the reductionist approach that, according to him, legal scholarship ...

Construal of Sarcasm in The Big Bang Theory [PDF]
Sarcasm is commonly defined as “the use of remarks that clearly mean the opposite of what they say, made in order to hurt someone's feelings or to criticize something in a humorous way” (online Cambridge Dictionary, 2019).

Marcescence and prostrate growth in tree ferns are adaptations to cold tolerance
Cold tolerance strategies in plants vary from structural to biochemical permitting many plants to survive and grow on sites that experience freezing conditions intermittently. Although tree ferns occur predominantly across the tropics, they also occur in temperate zones and occasionally in areas that experience sub‐zero temperatures, and how these ...
