The presence of a stellar bar in a disc galaxy indicates that the galaxy hosts in its main part a dynamically settled disc and that bar-driven processes are taking place in shaping its evolution. Studying the cosmic evolution of the bar fraction in d... Read More about A JWST investigation into the bar fraction at redshifts 1 ≤ z ≤ 3.

Finite dynamical systems (FDSs) are commonly used to model systems with a finite number of states that evolve deterministically and at discrete time steps. Considered up to isomorphism, those correspond to functional graphs. As such, FDSs have a sum... Read More about Factorisation in the semiring of finite dynamical systems.

mqdtfit: A collection of Python functions for empirical multichannel quantum defect calculations (2024)

The Python functions distributed with this article can be used for calculating the parameters of multichannel quantum defect theory models describing excited bound states of complex atoms. These parameters are obtained by fitting a model to experimen... Read More about mqdtfit: A collection of Python functions for empirical multichannel quantum defect calculations.

Unifying deterministic and stochastic ecological dynamics via a landscape-flux approach (2021)
Journal Article
Xu, L., Patterson, D., Staver, A. C., Levin, S. A., & Wang, J. (2021). Unifying deterministic and stochastic ecological dynamics via a landscape-flux approach. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 118(24), Article e2103779118. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2103779118

The frequency distributions can characterize the population-potential landscape related to the stability of ecological states. We illustrate the practical utility of this approach by analyzing a forest–savanna model. Savanna and forest states coexist...
