Fluctuation Dissipation Relation for a Langevin Model with Multiplicative Noise

, 2001
A random multiplicative process with additive noise is described by a Langevin equation. We show that the fluctuation-dissipation relation is satisfied in the Langevin model, if the noise strength is not so strong.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figures, other ...

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.

Exact solution of a Levy walk model for anomalous heat transport

, 2013
The Levy walk model is studied in the context of the anomalous heat conduction of one dimensional systems. In this model the heat carriers execute Levy-walks instead of normal diffusion as expected in systems where Fourier's law holds.

General Perceptions of Career Decision‐Making Autonomy Among Youth in Rural Philippines: An Experimental Study Examining Cultural and Gender Dynamics

The Developing Economies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gender inequalities persist across various domains where traditional social norms are deeply ingrained. This study examines gendered perceptions of career decision‐making autonomy in the Philippines through self‐determination, social role, and gender congruity theories.

Peasants into Muslims: Poverty and conversions to Islam in Ottoman Bosnia

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Whilst economic historians have invested substantial effort into understanding the economic consequences of religion, they have invested less effort into understanding the determinants of religious affiliation. The lack of knowledge about determinants of religious affiliation seems particularly striking in the case of Southeastern Europe ...

First passage time exponent for higher-order random walks:Using Levy flights

, 2001
We present a heuristic derivation of the first passage time exponent for the integral of a random walk [Y. G. Sinai, Theor. Math. Phys. {\bf 90}, 219 (1992)].

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

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

The status of thegn in late Anglo‐Saxon England

Early Medieval Europe, EarlyView.
This article considers how the term ‘thegn’ was used in tenth‐ and eleventh‐century England. Although commonly thought to indicate members of a face‐to‐face service aristocracy with specific attributes, it has resisted close definition. Examination of references to anonymous thegns in administrative and legal texts suggests that the people meant were ...
