Hard place: Zoos and aquariums are facing criticism for keeping animals in captivity under conditions that might not always match their requirements. (Photograph: Mike Peel www.mikepeel.net.) There’s always something exciting happening at the zoo — some cute little cub being born or making its first steps, or a gorilla taking selfies. The media love the visitor attractions as much as the school...

In this short note, we discuss the basin of attractions for many Kuramoto oscillators with unidirectional couplings. For attractive and repulsive couplings, we present proper subsets for the basin of attractions, which are independent of the number of oscillators.

Using molecular dynamics simulations, we have determined that the nature of dynamical heterogeneity in jammed liquids is very sensitive to short-ranged attractions. Weakly attractive systems differ little from dense hard-sphere and Lennard-Jones fluids. Particle motion is punctuated and tends to proceed in steps of roughly a single particle diameter. Both of these basic features change in the p...

Seeking to shift the discussion of the concept of authenticity in tourism scholarship from the dominant concern with tourist experiences to the more sociological problem of the processes of authentication of tourist attractions, we conceptualize two analytically distinct, but practically often intersecting, modes of authentication of attractions, ‘‘cool’’ and ‘‘hot’’. Through a range of example...

We revisit the role of attractions in liquids and apply these concepts to colloidal suspensions. Two means are used to investigate the structure; the pair correlation function and a recently developed topological method. The latter identifies structures topologically equivalent to ground state clusters formed by isolated groups of 5 ≤ m ≤ 13 particles, which are specific to the system under con...

objective: citation analysis is a bibliometric method used for the calculation of the mean number of citations and detection of highly cited references, frequency distribution of citations in different languages, update rate, efficacy of resources and number of core journals of a scientific domain. this process elucidates the information needs of researchers in a specific realm of science and e...
