The Cultural Evolution of National Constitutions
Daniel N. Rockmore, Chen Fang, Nicholas J. Foti +2
We explore how ideas from infectious disease and genetics can be used to uncover patterns of cultural inheritance and innovation in a corpus of 591 national constitutions spanning…
Number of thermodynamic states in the three-dimensional Edwards-Anderson spin glass
Wenlong Wang, Jonathan Machta, Humberto Munoz-Bauza +1
The question of the number of thermodynamic states present in the low-temperature phase of the three-dimensional Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glass is addressed by studying spin and…
Trapping and Escape in a Turbid Medium
P. L. Krapivsky, S. Redner
We investigate the absorption of diffusing molecules in a fluid-filled spherical beaker that contains many small reactive traps. The molecules are absorbed either by hitting a trap…
Quantitative Perspectives on Fifty Years of the Journal of the History of Biology
B. R. Erick Peirson, Erin Bottino, Julia L. Damerow +1
Journal of the History of Biology provides a fifty-year long record for examining the evolution of the history of biology as a scholarly discipline. In this paper, we present a new…
Natural Time, Nowcasting and the Physics of Earthquakes: Estimation of Seismic Risk to Global Megacities
John B Rundle, Molly Luginbuhl, Alexis Giguere +1
This paper describes the use of the idea of natural time to propose a new method for characterizing the seismic risk to the world's major cities at risk of earthquakes. Rather than…
Fermi--Pasta--Ulam--Tsingou problems: Passage from Boltzmann to -statistics
Debarshee Bagchi, Constantino Tsallis
The Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) one-dimensional Hamiltonian includes a quartic term which guarantees ergodicity of the system in the thermodynamic limit. Consistently, the Boltzmann fac…
