Qualitative analysis and optical solitons for the (1+1)-dimensional Biswas-Milovic equation with parabolic law and nonlocal nonlinearity

open access: yesResults in Physics
In this paper, the (1+1)-dimensional Biswas-Milovic equation with parabolic law and nonlocal nonlinearity is studied. Firstly, the Biswas-Milovic equation with parabolic law and nonlocal nonlinearity is transformed into ordinary differential equation ...

Heating up parasitoid–host interactions: High temperature increased mortality of late‐instar braconid larvae and reduced ladybird recovery rate

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract With ongoing climate change, temperature‐dependent outcomes of host–parasitoid interactions can affect ecosystem functioning and key ecosystem services such as biological control. However, most studies addressing the impacts of temperature on host–parasitoid systems are

Fluctuating futures: coming of age in the biggest social housing neighbourhood in Milan Futurs fluctuants : passage à l’âge adulte dans le plus grand quartier de logements sociaux de Milan

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article – part of a six‐year ethnographic research project – aims to deconstruct and ‘decolonize’ essentialized notions of adolescence and youth, primarily through the application of the category of intersectionality. The research focuses on a series of educational initiatives implemented in San Siro, one of Milan's largest public housing ...

Aperiodic Ising Quantum Chains

open access: yes, 1997
Some years ago, Luck proposed a relevance criterion for the effect of aperiodic disorder on the critical behaviour of ferromagnetic Ising systems. In this article, we show how Luck's criterion can be derived within an exact renormalisation scheme for ...

Can prisons move people into better jobs? A look at correctional vocational training programs and sectoral employment outcomes

open access: yesCriminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Three‐quarters of US prisons offer vocational training programs, which aim to place trainees in middle‐skills jobs in specific occupational sectors post‐release. These middle‐skills jobs may more effectively reduce recidivism than the jobs that normally characterize the labor market experience of the formerly incarcerated, yet whether ...

Fecal Steroids as Tracers of Human Population and Waste Management Practices at the Ancient Maya City of Ucanal, Guatemala

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Geochemical data compiled from dried sediments from three water reservoirs at the ancient Maya city of Ucanal, Petén, Guatemala, reveal low to undetectable fecal biomarker concentrations. These low concentrations may be the result of the aerobic decay of sterols combined with well‐managed waste disposal practices.

An extension of the basic local independence model to multiple observed classifications

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The basic local independence model (BLIM) is appropriate in situations where populations do not differ in the probabilities of the knowledge states and the probabilities of careless errors and lucky guesses of the items. In some situations, this is not the case. This work introduces the multiple observed classification local independence model

Dynamic properties and chaotic behaviors of pure-cubic complex Ginzburg–Landau equation with different nonlinearities

open access: yesResults in Physics
This paper investigates the pure-cubic complex Ginzburg–Landau equation (PC-CGLE) with different nonlinearities such as Kerr law, power law and so on.

From tetrachoric to kappa: How to assess reliability on binary scales

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Reliability is crucial in psychometrics, reflecting the extent to which a measurement instrument can discriminate between individuals or items. While classical test theory and intraclass correlation coefficients are well‐established for quantitative scales, estimating reliability for binary outcomes presents unique challenges due to their ...
