Navigating the adaptive cycle: an approach to managing the resilience of social systems
Ecology and Society, 2015 The concept of resilience continues to crescendo since the 1990s, touching on multiple fields with multiple interpretations and uses. Here, we start from its origins in systems ecology, framing the resilience concept explicitly in the adaptive cycle with

Anomaly Analysis of Brane-Antibrane Systems [PDF]
, 2001 String theories with branes can often be generalized by adding brane-antibrane pairs. We explore the cancellation of anomalies in this more general context, extending the familiar anomaly-cancelling mechanisms, both for ten-dimensional string theories ...

Estimating global economic well-being with unlit settlements
Nature Communications, 2022 Nighttime lights from satellite are combined with a map of human settlements, showing that 19% of these areas, mainly in Africa, the Middle East and Asia, have no detectable artificial light. These data were then used in models to predict well-being.
