The preferences assumed to govern intertemporal trade-offs are generally considered to be stable economic primitives, though evidence on this stability is notably lacking. We present evidence from a large field study conducted over two years, with around 1,400 individuals using incentivized intertemporal choice experiments. Aggregate choice profiles and corresponding estimates of discount param...

The existing strategies of modelling turbulent two-phase flows can be subdivided into two groups depending on the Lagrangian tracking and Eulerian continuum approaches for handling the particulate phase. In the framework of the Lagrangian method, the particles are assumed to encounter a series of turbulent eddies randomly, and the macroscopic particle properties are determined by solving stocha...

Foams are complex and challenging materials. The damage process of the foam materials takes place on multiple scales changing several physical and structural properties of the material. In this study, the topology-based variable describing the connectivity state of a cell is introduced to formulate a non-variational phase-field model for the damage evolution in an open-cell foam. The material i...
