The spreading speed of solutions of the non-local Fisher-KPP equation
Sarah Penington
Dec 15, 2018

We consider the Fisher–KPP equation with a non-local interaction term. In [16], Hamel and Ryzhik showed that in solutions of this equation, the front location at a large time t is 2t+o(t). We study the asymptotics of the...

A Desire to be ‘Normal’? A Discursive and Intersectional Analysis of ‘Penetration Disorder’
Jemma Tosh, Krista Carson
Dec 29, 2016
Psychiatry’s problematic framing of femininity, women’s bodies, and sexuality has attracted much condemnation (Caplan & Cosgrove, 2004; Frith, 2013; Ussher, 2011). The intersection of sanism and sexism is particularly overt...
The subjective metric of remembered colors
In order to explore the metric structure of the space of remembered colors, a computer game was designed, where players with normal color vision had to store a color in memory, and later retrieve it by selecting the best match...

Evaluating genetic drift in time-series evolutionary analysis.
The Wright-Fisher model is the most popular population model for describing the behaviour of evolutionary systems with a finite population size. Approximations have commonly been used but the model itself has rarely been tested...

The dilemmas of internationalization
Krista Bondy, Ken Starkey
Jan 01, 2014
We add to the global-local debate by highlighting concerns with the empirical and conceptual validity of the construct 'integrated' as it operates within corporate social responsibility (CSR). We do so by investigating the...

Who were the Nataruk people? Mandibular morphology among late Pleistocene and early Holocene fisher-forager populations of West Turkana (Kenya).
Africa is the birthplace of the species Homo sapiens, and Africans today are genetically more diverse than other populations of the world. However, the processes that underpinned the evolution of African populations remain...

Quantum advantage in postselected metrology
Abstract: In every parameter-estimation experiment, the final measurement or the postprocessing incurs a cost. Postselection can improve the rate of Fisher information (the average information learned about an unknown parameter...
