Protected Chaos in a Topological Lattice
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Topological and chaotic dynamics are often considered incompatible, with one expected to dominate or disrupt the other. This work reveals that topological localization can persist even under strong chaotic dynamics and, counter‐intuitively, protect chaotic behavior.

Materials Selection Principles for Designing Electro‐Thermal Neurons
Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.Materials property – performance relations are established for new and old electrical materials leveraged as electro‐thermal oscillators emulating neuron dynamics. Robust, reconfigurable, high frequency, low power characteristics are explicitly tied to highly nonlinear electrical transport, small specific heat, and greater electrical than thermal ...

Dynamics of Wealth Inequality in Simple Artificial Societies [PDF]
Advances in Social Simulation, (2021) Chapter 13, Ed. Czupryna M,
Kamiriski B. Springer Nature, Switzerland AG, 2021 A simple generative model of a foraging society generates significant wealth inequalities from identical agents on an equal opportunity landscape. These inequalities arise in both equilibrium and non-equilibrium regimes with some societies essentially never reaching equilibrium.

Increasing sedentary time, minimum dietary energy requirements, and food security assessment
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.Abstract We compute corrections for sedentary behavior in physical activity levels (PALs) and incorporate them along with corrections for over estimation of basal metabolic rates (BMRs) into threshold caloric intakes, known as minimum dietary energy requirements (MDERs).

Heuristics for Inequality minimization in PageRank values [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 PageRank is a widely used algorithm for ranking webpages and plays a significant role in determining web traffic. This study employs the Gini coefficient, a measure of income/wealth inequality, to assess the inequality in PageRank distributions and explores six deterministic methods for reducing inequality.

King and Cochrane: The technological treadmill and racial inequity in US agriculture
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.Abstract Between 1920 and 1969, the number of Black farmers in the US decreased from 14% of all operators to 4%. Using Martin Luther King Jr.'s critique of agricultural policy and Willard Cochrane's theory of the technological treadmill, we explore how racial discrimination was linked to policies that led to structural change in US agriculture.
