Norman and Nietzsche: The Political Project of Lindsay's The Magic Pudding

Australian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.
Australian artist and writer Norman Lindsay (1879–1969) wrote 11 novels and two children's books, one of which—The Magic Pudding first published in 1918—remains a national classic. This article argues that readers and critics have long misunderstood Lindsay's intention in writing this lengthy cartoon‐story about the adventures of Bunyip Bluegum in ...

Large phenotype jumps in biomolecular evolution

, 2003
By defining the phenotype of a biopolymer by its active three-dimensional shape, and its genotype by its primary sequence, we propose a model that predicts and characterizes the statistical distribution of a population of biopolymers with a specific ...

Complementarity in alliances: How strategic compatibility and hierarchy promote efficient cooperation in international security

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract How can defense alliances reap the efficiency gains of working together when coordination and opportunism costs are high? Although specializing as part of a collective comes with economic and functional benefits, states must bargain over the distribution of those gains and ensure the costs of collective action are minimized.

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)].

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.

Roadblocks, Relationality and Resilient Resistance in Post‐coup Myanmar

Development and Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following Myanmar's military coup in February 2021, the State Administrative Council (SAC) established checkpoints between towns under its control and rural areas increasingly governed by anti‐junta resistance forces. Here, military personnel command trade and extort from people, inflating the price of consumer goods and agricultural inputs ...

The topology of Rayleigh-Levy flights in two dimensions

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Rayleigh-Lévy flights are simplified cosmological tools that capture certain essential statistical properties of the cosmic density field, including hierarchical structures in higher-order correlations, making them a valuable reference for studying the highly non-linear regime of structure formation.

Cooling down Lévy flights [PDF]

Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2007
Let L(t) be a Levy flights process with a stability index α\in(0,2), and U be an external multi-well potential. A jump-diffusion Z satisfying a stochastic differential equation dZ(t)=-U'(Z(t-))dt+σ(t)dL(t) describes an evolution of a Levy particle of an `instant temperature' σ(t) in an external force field.
