Morphology and scaling in the noisy Burgers equation: Soliton approach to the strong coupling fixed point

, 1997
The morphology and scaling properties of the noisy Burgers equation in one dimension are treated by means of a nonlinear soliton approach based on the Martin-Siggia-Rose technique. In a canonical formulation the strong coupling fixed point is accessed by

CLASS, PROPERTY RIGHTS AND CITIZENSHIP: Affluent Informal Settlements and the Cultural Production of Property in Delhi

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent scholarship has examined the informal activities of elites. While existing theories suggest that informality is a realm where the state guarantees unhindered access to land and property rights and, subsequently, citizenship entitlements for elites, they have yet to explain how affluent residents of informal colonies obtain citizenship ...

Lévy flights in a box [PDF]

Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, 2015
It is shown that a quantum L vy process in a box leads to a problem involving topological constraints in space, and its treatment in the framework of the path integral formalism with the L vy measure is suggested. The eigenvalue problem for the infinite potential well is properly defined and solved. An analytical expression for the evolution operator

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

The shibirets4 mutation causes temperature sensitive paralytic and lethal phenotypes in the Queensland fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Bactrocera tryoni, the Queensland fruit fly, is among the most damaging insect pests to the Australian horticultural industry as larvae infest ripening fruits or vegetables prior to harvest. Genetic biocontrol using Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) programs have been used to successfully suppress populations, via mass release of factory‐reared ...

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.

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 ...

National identity after conquest

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Conquering powers routinely adopt state‐directed nationalization projects that seek to make the boundaries of the nation coterminous with the (newly expanded) boundaries of the state. To this end, they implement policies that elevate the economic status of individuals who embrace the occupier's national identity and discriminate against those ...

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 ...

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.
