Natural Selection and Scale Invariance [PDF]

open access: yesLife, 2023
This review points out that three of the essential features of natural selection—competition for a finite resource, variation, and transmission of memory—occur in an extremely simple, thermalized molecular population, one of colliding “billiard balls ...

An alternative method to test scale invariance [PDF]

open access: yesMethodsX, 2020
We introduce an alternative method that is simple and can be used to test scale invariance or self-similarity in any types of data, irrespective of their distributions.

Quantifying gravity wave forcing using scale invariance [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Parametrizations of unresolved small-scale atmospheric waves are an important source of uncertainty in climate models. Scale invariance is used to estimate the forcing of these small-scale waves and it is shown to have a leading order effect on the mean ...

Scale invariance in a nonvibrating magnetic granular system [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
A nonvibrating magnetic granular system is studied by using a time series approach. The system consists of steel balls confined inside a circular wall that surrounds a glass plate.

Measurement invariance of the moral vitalism scale across 28 cultural groups.

open access: goldPLoS ONE, 2020
Moral vitalism refers to a tendency to view good and evil as actual forces that can influence people and events. The Moral Vitalism Scale had been designed to assess moral vitalism in a brief survey form.

Fundamental scale invariance

open access: yesNuclear Physics B, 2021
We propose fundamental scale invariance as a new theoretical principle beyond renormalizability. Quantum field theories with fundamental scale invariance admit a scale-free formulation of the functional integral and effective action in terms of scale ...

Autowave nature of plasticity. Scale invariance [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2019
The generality of localization of plastic deformation, which is observed at the stage of linear work hardening for HCP, BCC and FCC monoand polycrystals of pure metals and alloys, is considered.

Measurement Invariance Testing of Career Anxiety Scale by Gender and Grade Level

open access: yesSakarya University Journal of Education, 2022
This study aimed to examine measurement invariance of the Career Anxiety Scale developed by Çetin-Gündüz and Nalbantoğlu-Yılmaz (2016). For this purpose, multigroup confirmatory factor analysis was performed to test measurement invariance by gender and ...

Longitudinal Measurement Invariance of the Korean Version of the CES-D-11 Scale

open access: yesSAGE Open, 2022
The present study examined the longitudinal measurement invariance of the Korean version of the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression (CES-D) scale. For this purpose, two datasets from the Korean Welfare Panel Study were analyzed.
