A recently proposed model of social interaction in voting is investigated by simplifying it down into a version that is more analytically tractable and which allows a mathematical analysis to be performed. This analysis clarifies the interplay of the different elements present in the system — social influence, heterogeneity and noise — and leads to a better understanding of its properties. The ...

Abstract Using a 3D general circulation model, we demonstrate that confirmed rocky exoplanet and primary observational target, TRAPPIST-1e presents an interesting case of climate bistability. We find the atmospheric on can exist in two distinct regimes for 1 bar nitrogen-dominated atmosphere. One is characterized by single strong equatorial prograde jet large day–night temperature difference; o...

В данной статье предлагается взгляд на многозначность художественного текста через понятие бистабильности. Рассматриваются критерии бистабильности, а также структуры, которых она реализуется. Сформулированная концепция демонстрируется нескольких литературных примерах. This article offers a look at the polysemy of literary text through concept bistability. Criteria for bistability are considered...

We report on measurements of first-passage-time distributions associated with current switching in weakly coupled GaAs/AlAs superlattices driven by shot noise, a system that is both far from equilibrium and high dimensional. Static current-voltage (I-V) characteristics exhibit multiple current branches and bistability; precision, high-bandwidth current switching data are collected in response t...
