Generalized Trust and Social Selection Process
Generalized trust relieves individuals in a socially uncertain situation from dyadic constraints of existing ties and helps them change ties with other individuals to acquire better resources.

Evidence from 184 countries over the span of 25 years is gathered and analyzed to understand North–North, South–South, and North–South international migration flows. Conceptually, the analysis borrows from network theory and Migration Systems Theory (MST)

In some mountainous areas of Japan, the Ki-no-Eki system, in which wood is collected to thin the forest and is exchanged for community currency, has been specifically designed and implemented as a solution to current and emerging forest governance issues.

Stochastic Jiles-Atherton model accounting for soft magnetic material properties variability [PDF]
Industrial processing (cutting, assembly…) of steel laminations can lead to significant modifications in their magnetic properties. Moreover, the repeatability of these modifications is not usually verified because of the tool wear or, more intrinsically,

Adolescents who feel depressed are likely to experience social isolation from friends. Previous studies have put forward at least four hypotheses that can account for the association between felt depression and social isolation.

Analysing animal social network dynamics: the potential of stochastic actor‐oriented models [PDF]
Summary Animals are embedded in dynamically changing networks of relationships with conspecifics. These dynamic networks are fundamental aspects of their environment, creating selection on behaviours and other traits. However, most social network‐based approaches in ecology are constrained to considering networks as static, despite several calls for

A stochastic differential equation SIS epidemic model [PDF]
In this paper we extend the classical susceptible-infected-susceptible epidemic model from a deterministic framework to a stochastic one and formulate it as a stochastic differential equation (SDE) for the number of infectious individuals $I(t)$. We then

Model checking probabilistic and stochastic extensions of the pi-calculus [PDF]
We present an implementation of model checking for probabilistic and stochastic extensions of the pi-calculus, a process algebra which supports modelling of concurrency and mobility.
