In this work, we explore the role of learning dynamics and social norms in human cooperation on networks. We study the model recently introduced in [Physical Review E, 97, 042321 (2018)] that integrates the well-studied Experience Weighted Attraction learning model with some features...

Scholars interested in the speed with which each of the two major US political parties selects its presidential nominee focus on delegate allocation rules and voter preferences as possible sources of variation, but disagree as to the impact of each. I use computer simulations to explore the...

This article is an empirical evaluation of the choice of fixed cutoff points in assessing the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) test statistic as a measure of goodness-of-fit in Structural Equation Models. Using simulation data, the authors first examine whether there is any...

Volcán Citlaltépetl (Pico de Orizaba) with an elevation of 5,675 m is the highest volcano in North America. Its most recent catastrophic events involved the production of pyroclastic flows that erupted approximately 4,000, 8,500, and 13,000 years ago. The distribution of mapped deposits from...

The work presents the standard pattern centre-periphery, fundamented by Paul Krugman-1991. Based on the monopolistic competition Dixit-Stiglitz, it fundaments the economic agglomeration and is considered to be principal for the “new geographic economy“, a very fecund domain within the actual...

In the conventional Avrami–Kolmogorov–Johnson–Mehl model, the reaction or phase transition occurring in the 2D or 3D infinite medium is considered to start and proceed around randomly distributed and/or appearing nucleation centers. The radius of the regions transformed is assumed to...

We present statistical mechanics models to understand the physical and molecular mechanisms of X-Chromosome Inactivation (XCI), the process whereby a female mammal cell inactivates one of its two X-chromosomes. During XCI, X-chromosomes undergo a series of complex regulatory processes. At the...
