The domain of the replicators : selection, neutrality, and cultural evolution by Lansing, J. Stephen., Cox, Murray P.

“…To evaluate these claims, we examine three facets of cultural evolution: (i) cultural traits that evolve by Darwinian selection, (ii) cultural traits that affect biological fitness, and (iii) coevolution of culture and biology, where selection in one affects evolutionary outcomes in the other. For each of these cases, the relevance of EGT depends on whether its assumptions are met. …”

Data analysis of local scour around abutment in compound channel by Zhang, Ruixin

“…Therefore, According to the published experimental data at home and abroad, Rationalize the data based on the ratio of abutment length to flow depth (L/yf), and two limiting cases are identified (L/yf >25 and L/yf <25). This paper established a new prediction formula of maximum abutment scours depth by dimensional analysis and multiple regression analysis using the incomplete self-similarity method. …”

MNEs' agency within institutional contexts : a study of Walmart's post-acquisition practices in Mexico, Germany, and Japan by Tsui-Auch, Lai Si, Chow, Dawn

“…Using Walmart's acquisition cases, we show that the MNE adopted a non-adaptation behavior in Mexico and Germany—countries which represent vastly different institutional environments—and succeeded in the former, but failed and withdrew from the market in the latter. …”

Dissipative solitons with extreme spikes in the normal and anomalous dispersion regimes by Akhmediev, N., Soto-Crespo, J. M., Vouzas, Peter, Devine, N., Chang, Wonkeun

“…These ideas allowed the notion of solitons to be extended from purely integrable cases to the concept of dissipative solitons. The latter are qualitatively different from the solitons in integrable and Hamiltonian systems. …”

Trial-based dominance for comparing both the speed and accuracy of stochastic optimizers with standard non-parametric tests by Price, Kenneth V., Kumar, Abhishek, Suganthan, Ponnuthurai Nagaratnam

“…Non-parametric tests can determine the better of two stochastic optimization algorithms when benchmarking results are ordinal—like the final fitness values of multiple trials—but for many benchmarks, a trial can also terminate once it reaches a prespecified target value. In such cases, both the time that a trial takes to reach the target value (or not) and its final fitness value characterize its outcome. …”
