Asymptotic theory of ignition and failure of self-sustained detonations [PDF]
, 2004 Based on a general theory of detonation waves with an embedded sonic locus that we have developed in Kasimov (2004) and Stewart & Kasimov (2004), we carry out asymptotic analysis of weakly-curved slowly-varying detonation waves and show that the theory ...

Managing Robot Perception: How Families Present Their Faces to a Toy Robot
Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.Playing with a robot's face detection capabilities constitutes a praxeological approach to learning about new technology. We explore how family members discover suitable formations for a Cozmo robot to scan a single face, drawing on video recordings from Swedish homes. Taking an ethnomethodology and conversation‐analysis perspective, we demonstrate how

The First World War at Sea: Death, Commemoration and Cultural Remembrance
History, EarlyView.Abstract Despite the ever‐increasing body of work devoted to war memorials, national days of remembrance and the commemoration of the First World War in Britain, academic focus remains firmly on the commemoration of the First World War on land. Yet, while the number of people who died at sea paled in comparison to their counterparts on the battlefield ...

Plane blast wave interaction with an elongated straight and inclined heat-generated inhomogeneity
, 2018 The unstable evolution of an elongated elliptically shaped inhomogeneity that is embedded in ambient air and aligned both normal and at an angle to an incident plane blast wave of impact Mach number 2.15 is investigated both experimentally and ...

Rise of the south: How Arab‐led maritime trade transformed China, 671–1371 CE
Asia‐Pacific Economic History Review, Volume 65, Issue 1, Page 3-38, March 2025.Abstract China's center of socioeconomic activities was in the North prior to the Tang dynasty but is in the South today. We demonstrate that Arab and Persian Muslim traders triggered that transition when they came to China in the late seventh century, by lifting maritime trade along the South Coast and re‐creating the South.

Volatility ≠ Risk: When Timing Alpha in Crypto Markets Reflects Mispricing
Financial Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Volatility timing in cryptocurrency markets generates significant alpha, but only during periods of loose monetary policy and high uncertainty. Analyzing S&P crypto indices (2017–2023) dominated by large‐cap assets, we show realized volatility can reflect noise‐driven speculative flows, not risk compensation. This effect is strongest for small‐

The Dynamics of Gender Norms and Fertility Decline
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper models fertility as the outcome of gender‐biased technological progress interacting with endogenous social norms governing childcare. When rising female wages outpace norm adjustment, the inherited norm makes reallocating childcare toward fathers costly, so mothers bear a disproportionate burden and the shadow price of children ...

A Horse Race of Machine‐Learning Methods to Predict Banking Crises
International Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT To examine if one machine‐learning model can consistently elucidate financial vulnerabilities, both over time and across levels of development, this paper applies 13 machine‐learning algorithms to evaluate comparative forecasting performance across several banking crises.

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.Abstract We evaluate whether deposit insurance (DI) promotes liquidity by influencing depositor behavior. We use the postal savings (PS) system and state‐adopted DI schemes during the 1920s to examine the effect of bank suspensions on PS deposit growth in pairs of border cities (DI versus non‐DI).
