Of Recent Periodical Literature

The demography of Sandwich in this period has attracted attention from previous historians but has not been systematically studied. This article goes some way towards rectifying this situation by tracing the town’s growth from c. 1,500–1,700 in the mid-sixteenth century to c. 5,500 by 1610, population growth ending during the 1630s after which decline set in, the 1671 Hearth Tax suggesting a po...

Periodical cicadas: a minimal automaton model

The Magicicada spp. life cycles with its prime periods and highly synchronized emergence have defied reasonable scientific explanation since its discovery. During the last decade several models and explanations for this phenomenon appeared in the literature along with a great deal of discussion. Despite this considerable effort, there is no final conclusion about this long standing biological p...

A Generalized TES Model for Periodical Traffic

TES is a young, but already well-established traffic modeling technique. Summarized shortly, it creates a random-governed modulo-1 sequence which is smoothed and adapted to a given marginal distribution. The smoothing is realized by the so-called Stitching Function, which is demonstrated to have crucial influence on the shape of the resulting simulated time series and its autocorrelation functi...
