Navigating power in conservation
Conservation Science and Practice, 2023 Abstract Conservation research and practice are increasingly engaging with people and drawing on social sciences to improve environmental governance. In doing so, conservation engages with power in many ways, often implicitly.

A statistical conservation law in two and three dimensional turbulent flows [PDF]
, 2015 Particles in turbulence live complicated lives. It is nonetheless sometimes possible to find order in this complexity. It was proposed in [Falkovich et al., Phys. Rev. Lett.

Does national power trigger ocean conservation? [PDF]
, 2020 AbstractStates are reacting to the global crises of biodiversity and the provision of ecosystem services mainly through the expansion of their networks of protected areas. This reaction would have been boosted by the commitments made between the parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity, and facilitated by the opportunities offered by isolated ...

Discrete rate maximisation power allocation with enhanced BER [PDF]
, 2012 This study aims to maximise the rate over a multiple-in multiple-out (MIMO) link using incremental power and bit allocation. Two different schemes, greedy power allocation (GPA) and greedy bit allocation (GBA), are addressed and compared with the ...

Mechanical Engineering, 2002 This article focuses on the fact that by matching the use to demand the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC), the controls are now able to cut electric bills and ease strain on the local grid, often leading to earn credits from the utilities. Similarly, advanced lighting systems are providing needed illumination using less electricity than

Variational Integrators for the Gravitational N-Body Problem [PDF]
, 2006 This paper describes a fourth-order integration algorithm for the gravitational N-body problem based on discrete Lagrangian mechanics. When used with shared timesteps, the algorithm is momentum conserving and symplectic.

Imprints of energy limitation in transverse momentum distributions of jets
, 2015 Using a Tsallis nonextensive approach, we analyse distributions of transverse spectra of jets. We discuss the possible influence of energy conservation laws on these distributions. Transverse spectra of jets exhibit a power-law behavior of $1/p_T^n$ with

Conservative soft power: liberal soft power bias and the ‘hidden’ attraction of Russia [PDF]
Journal of International Relations and Development, 2017 The study of soft power in international relations suffers from a liberal democratic bias. Throughout the literature, liberal concepts and values are assumed to be universal in their appeal. This bias has led scholars to underestimate Russian soft power by instrumentalising it, that is, to see it purely as the effect of government-sponsored programmes,

Emergent spatial structures in critical sandpiles [PDF]
, 1997 We introduce and study a new directed sandpile model with threshold dynamics and stochastic toppling rules. We show that particle conservation law and the directed percolation-like local evolution of avalanches lead to the formation of a spatial ...

Normal scaling in globally conserved interface-controlled coarsening of fractal clusters
, 2000 Globally conserved interface-controlled coarsening of fractal clusters exhibits dynamic scale invariance and normal scaling. This is demonstrated by a numerical solution of the Ginzburg-Landau equation with a global conservation law.
