Scaling Cosmology [PDF]

open access: yesGeneral Relativity and Gravitation, 2003
We show that with the help of a suitable coupling between dark energy and cold dark matter it is possible to reproduce any scaling solution $ _{X}\propto _{M}a^ $, where $ _{X}$ and $ _{M}$ are the densities of dark energy and dark matter, respectively. We demonstrate how the case $ = 1$ alleviates the coincidence problem. Future observations of

Multidimensional scaling [PDF]

open access: yesWIREs Cognitive Science, 2012
AbstractThe concept of similarity, or a sense of ‘sameness’ among things, is pivotal to theories in the cognitive sciences and beyond. Similarity, however, is a difficult thing to measure. Multidimensional scaling (MDS) is a tool by which researchers can obtain quantitative estimates of similarity among groups of items.
