Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, 2007 Schelling (1969, 1971a,b, 1978) considered a simple model with individual agents who only care about the types of people living in their own local neighborhood. The spatial structure was represented by a one- or two-dimensional lattice. Schelling showed that an integrated society will generally unravel into a rather segregated one even though no ...

Inequality and Segregation [PDF]
Journal of Political Economy, 2004 Despite declining group inequality and the rapid expansion of the black middle class in the United States, major urban centers with significant black populations continue to exhibit extreme racial separation. Using a theoretical framework in which individuals care about both the affluence and the racial composition of neighborhoods, we show that lower ...

Tailings philosophies — to segregate or not to segregate [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Seminar on Paste and Thickened Tailings, 2010 Facilities in the oil sands of north-eastern Alberta have developed and operated several generations of technologies for the treatment of tailings resulting from bitumen extraction processes. These processes produce tailings streams that undergo segregation when discharged into water filled ponds.

Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation, 2013 Observations in experiments show that players in a prisoner's dilemma may adhere more or less to a cooperative norm. Adherence is defined by the intensity of pro-social emotions, like guilt, of deviating from the norm. Players consider also payoffs from defection as a motive to deviate. By combining both incentives, the modeling may explain conditional

Segregation in religion networks [PDF]
EPJ Data Science, 2019 Religious beliefs could facilitate human cooperation [1-6], promote civic engagement [7-10], improve life satisfaction [11-13] and even boom economic development [14-16]. On the other side, some aspects of religion may lead to regional violence, intergroup conflict and moral prejudice against atheists [17-23]. Analogous to the separation of races [24],

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2001 The ability to visualise specific genes and proteins within bacterial cells is revolutionising knowledge of chromosome segregation. The essential elements appear to be the driving force behind DNA replication, which occurs at fixed cellular positions, the condensation of newly replicated DNA by a chromosome condensation machine located at the cell 1/4 ...

The perceptual segregation of simultaneous auditory signals: Pulse train segregation and vowel segregation [PDF]
Perception & Psychophysics, 1989 In the experiments reported here, we attempted to find out more about how the auditory system is able to separate two simultaneous harmonic sounds. Previous research (Halikia & Bregman, 1984a, 1984b; Scheffers, 1983a) had indicated that a difference in fundamental frequency (F0) between two simultaneous vowel sounds improves their separate ...

The segregated $\Lambda$-coalescent [PDF]
The Annals of Probability, 2015 We study a natural generalization of the Λ-coalescent to a spatial continuum. We introduce the process, which is known as the Segregated Λ-coalescent, via its connections to the (non-spatial) Λ-coalescent and the Spatial Λ-Fleming-Viot process. The main new results contained in this thesis are as follows.

Segregation by choice? School choice and segregation in England
Education Economics, 2023 School choice can segregate schools by academic ability, income or ethnicity, but is this because of households’ choices, or constraints in access to good schools? We examine whether segregation is by choice, finding that households’ school choices are segregating in most areas.
