This paper presents a model of the Malawi maize commodity market that is developed for use as a policy analysis tool. The model captures national and local maize market dynamics and the linkages existing within the maize market in the country. This research has been undertaken in order to...

We compute the shift in the epoch of matter-radiation equality due to the possible existence of a different statistical (non-extensive) background. The shift is mainly caused by a different neutrino–photon temperature ratio. We then consider the prospects to use future large galaxy surveys and...

Experiments in which thick clay plates and glass rods are fractured have revealed different behavior of fragment mass distribution function in the small and large fragment regions. In this paper we explain this behavior using non-extensive Tsallis statistics and show how the crossover between...

We present a multiscale signal analysis based on the multifractal spectrum obtained by the Wavelet Transform Modulus Maxima technique. We analyze time series from turbulent data: the first step is to obtain the PDF of the flutuations for velocities records and then to fit them by means of the...

It is proved that the only additive and isotropic information measure that can depend on the probability distribution and also on its first derivative is a linear combination of the Boltzmann–Gibbs–Shannon and Fisher information measures. Power-law equilibrium distributions are found as a...

There is experimental and theoretical evidence that the broad rapidity distribution of net proton yield (p−p̄) in central heavy-ion collisions at SPS energies could be a signal of non-equilibrium properties of the system. We show that the broad rapidity shape can be well reproduced in the...

A simple superstatistical Lagrangian stochastic model (Phys. Fluids 15 (2003) L1; Phys. Rev. Lett. 91 (2003) 84503) that accounts explicitly for fluctuations in the rate of dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy has been shown to be in remarkably close agreement with recently acquired data for...

In this work, we examine two different measures for inhomogeneity and complexity that are derived from non-extensive considerations à la Tsallis. Their performance is then tested on theoretically generated patterns. All measures are found to exhibit a most sensitive behaviour for Sierpinski...

The author studied the effects of the environment described by Tsallis statistics in quantum mechanics, when the deviation from Boltzmann–Gibbs (BG) statistics is small. The x4 model was used and the squeeze angle caused by the difference between Tsallis and BG statistics was calculated...
