Effect of criminal’s consent to pay difference of diyah (a critical review of Article 30 of Islamic Penal Code) [PDF]

open access: yesمطالعات فقه و حقوق اسلامی, 2017
One of the important issues about collection of diayh from the criminal who have committed a crime involving difference of diyah is impact of his/her consent to pay difference of diyah and him/her release from qisas.

MAJORITY-VOTE MODEL ON OPINION-DEPENDENT NETWORK [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Modern Physics C, 2013
We study a nonequilibrium model with up–down symmetry and a noise parameter q known as majority-vote model (MVM) of Oliveira 1992 on opinion-dependent network or Stauffer–Hohnisch–Pittnauer (SHP) networks. By Monte Carlo (MC) simulations and finite-size scaling relations the critical exponents β∕ν, γ∕ν and 1∕ν and points qc and U* are obtained.

The Distribution of Climate Change Public Opinion in Canada. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
While climate scientists have developed high resolution data sets on the distribution of climate risks, we still lack comparable data on the local distribution of public climate change opinions.

Coevolution of agent’s behavior and noise parameters in majority vote game on multilayer networks

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2019
In many real-world systems, agents’ behaviors are usually coupled with environmental changes. To model their coevolutionary process, we study a non-equilibrium model known as majority vote model coupled with reaction-diffusion processes on a two-layer ...

On the Voting Time of the Deterministic Majority Process [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In the deterministic binary majority process we are given a simple graph where each node has one out of two initial opinions. In every round, every node adopts the majority opinion among its neighbors.

When who and how matter: explaining the success of referendums in Europe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This article aims to identify the institutional factors that make a referendum successful. This comparative analysis seeks to explain the success of top-down referendums organized in Europe between 2001 and 2013.

The role of inflexible minorities in the breaking of democratic opinion dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We study the effect of inflexible agents on two state opinion dynamics. The model operates via repeated local updates of random grouping of agents. While floater agents do eventually flip their opinion to follow the local majority, inflexible agents keep

Majority Rule Dynamics in Finite Dimensions

open access: yes, 2004
We investigate the long-time behavior of a majority rule opinion dynamics model in finite spatial dimensions. Each site of the system is endowed with a two-state spin variable that evolves by majority rule. In a single update event, a group of spins with

The dynamics of public opinion under majority rules [PDF]

open access: yesReview of Economic Design, 2002
The authors introduce a simple stochastic model of public opinion formation to explain the support for one (out of two) issue. They show that the joint effect of local (neighbourhood) interaction and a tendency to agree with the opinion held by the majority can explain the creation of large homogeneous areas.

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)
