ModellingIn this paper, a predator–prey model with hunting cooperation and maturation delay is studied. Through theoretical analysis, we investigate the existence of multiple stability switches of the positive equilibrium. By applying Hopf bifurcation theory, the

The charged bouncing ball: An experimental model for period-doubling bifurcation [PDF]
, 1997 This paper presents an experimental and theoretical study of the dynamics of a conducting ball in a poorly conducting liquid subjected to an electric field. When the applied voltage is constant the ball bounces regularly on the lower electrode.

Inferring alternative ecosystem states with field survey data
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Many ecosystems potentially exhibit alternative stable states, where distinct states can coexist under identical environmental conditions. While simulation models have generated key hypotheses in alternative stable states theory, they often rely on scale‐free parameters disconnected from real ecosystems.

On 3‐MMC: A Cathinone I Have Come to Know and Love
Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article attempts to complicate the mythology of a compound in a state of becoming. I will trace lightly its origins as a cultural disruptor and how I am implicated in this imperative. Introducing you to 3‐MMC will require multiple modes of storytelling and taking of liberties, drawing on literature reviews, practice‐based research, prose,

Reciprocal Tariffs and Systemic Trade Losses: Evidence From Korea, Japan, and the EU
Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The resurgence of U.S. protectionism, the proposal of universal reciprocal tariffs targeting major trading partners, poses systemic risks to global trade that existing bilateral analyses have not fully captured. This paper examines the economic consequences of U.S.

Bifurcation and complex dynamics of a discrete-time predator-prey system involving group defense [PDF]
Computational Ecology and Software, 2015 In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of a discrete-time predator-prey system involving group defense. The existence and local stability of positive fixed point of the discrete dynamical system is analyzed algebraically.

The Challenges of Backsourcing
Financial Accountability &Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Public sector outsourcing sometimes ends in unexpected termination, forcing authorities to engage in backsourcing. The aim of this study is to identify the challenges posed by unexpected terminations of sourcing contracts in the public sector and analyze how actual practices in these situations diverge from theoretical expectations in the ...
