We consider a model of • floodplain evolving with channel •vulsion, deposition, •nd erosion. Avulsion is modeled as • r•ndom process in sp•ce and time. Sediment ransport is modeled by the diffusion equation (Culling's model). The power spectrum of v•ri•tions in the topographic profiles predicted by the model S(k) is proportional to k -2 (where k is the w•venumber). This is the Brown noise often...

Studies of criminal-court dispositions have traditionally aggregated courts along political and geographic boundaries. This article suggests that courts should be analyzed individually, even within the same jurisdiction, as a means of increasing the explanatory capacity of the variables involved. Further, it is contended that intercourt differences are a result of organizational infiuences oper...

The analysis of sto hasti systems with non-exponential timing requires the development of suitable modeling tools. Re ently, some e ort has been devoted to generalize the on ept of Sto hasti Petri nets, by allowing the ring times to be generally distributed. The evolution of the PN in time be omes a sto hasti pro ess, for whi h in general, no analyti al solution is available. The paper des ribe...

The 1980s saw the rise of one of central projects of AI and Law the representation of law as executable logic programs. [1] describes one of the steps in the development of the project with the representation of a large portion of the United Kingdom’s legislation on “Supplementary Benefit” (SB) as an executable logical model of law in Prolog. It outlines the legislation, the task the representa...
