Understanding the illicit drug distribution in England: a data-centric approach to the County Lines Model [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The County Lines Model (CLM) is a relatively new illicit drugs distribution method found in Great Britain. The CLM has brought modern slavery and public health issues, while challenging the law-enforcement capacity to act, as coordination between different local police forces is necessary. Our objective is to understand the territorial logic behind the

Computational Dating for the Nuzi Cuneiform Archive: The Least Squares Constrained by Family Trees and Synchronisms [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We introduce a computational method of dating for an archive in ancient Mesopotamia. We use the name index Nuzi Personal Names (NPN) published in 1943. We made an electronic version of NPN and added the kinships of the two powerful families to NPN to reflect the Nuzi studies after 1943.

Asymptotic Freedom and Infrared slavery in PT-symmetric Quantum Electrodynamics [PDF]
arXiv, 2005 We establish that there is no finite PT-symmetric Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) and as a consequence the Callan-Symanzik function $\beta(\alpha)<0$ for all $\alpha$ greater than zero: PT-symmetric QED exhibits both asymptotic freedom and infrared slavery.

The Ideal Liquid Discovered by RHIC, Infrared Slavery Above and Hadronic Freedom Below $T_c$ [PDF]
arXiv, 2005 We construct the nature of the matter found in RHIC when its temperature has dropped down close to, and below, $T_c$. Just above $T_c$ it is composed of extremely strongly bound quark-antiquark pairs forming chirally restored mesons of the quantum numbers of the $\pi, S, \rho$ and $a_1$ with very small size and zero energy and just below $T_c$, it is ...

Text-based inference of moral sentiment change [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 We present a text-based framework for investigating moral sentiment change of the public via longitudinal corpora. Our framework is based on the premise that language use can inform people's moral perception toward right or wrong, and we build our methodology by exploring moral biases learned from diachronic word embeddings.

Phenotypical Behavior and Evolutionary Slavery [PDF]
arXiv, 2000 A new evolutionary solution to Prisoner Dilemma situations is proposed in this paper. A specific genetic code may have different phenotypes, meaning different strategies for different individuals carrying that gene. This means that, under the right parameters, it is a good evolutionary solution to create two types of phenotypes with different ...

Logistic Growth for the Nuzi Cuneiform Tablets: Analyzing Family Networks in Ancient Mesopotamia [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 We reconstruct the year of publication of each cuneiform tablet of the Nuzi society in ancient Mesopotamia. The tablets, are on land transaction, marriage, loan, slavery contracts etc. The number of tablets seem to increase by logistic growth until saturation.

The careless use of language in quantum information [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 An imperative aspect of modern science is that scientific institutions act for the benefit of a common scientific enterprise, rather than for the personal gain of individuals within them. This implies that science should not perpetuate existing or historical unequal social orders.

AIMS.au: A Dataset for the Analysis of Modern Slavery Countermeasures in Corporate Statements [PDF]
arXivDespite over a decade of legislative efforts to address modern slavery in the supply chains of large corporations, the effectiveness of government oversight remains hampered by the challenge of scrutinizing thousands of statements annually. While Large Language Models (LLMs) can be considered a well established solution for the automatic analysis and ...
