Considers why different explanations of the same event can be produced and discusses the characteristics of a good explanation. It identifies and analyses a wide range of different published explanations of a seminal public administration policy‐change. It separates those accounts of that...

We numerically solve the steady-state equation and the stability spectrum for solidification in a channel. For a large range of parameters stable symmetric and stable parity-broken solutions coexist. The branches of parity-broken solutions are found to originate from the symmetric solutions...

This article uses ARIMA and tobit analysis to examine the extent to which restrictive policies and intensified monitoring of "hot" pursuits by law enforcement officers induce these officers to ignore requirements that the initiation of such chases be communicated to their superiors and that...

Stable wrinkled fronts were often observed in experiments on fluid invasion into porous media, when the invaded phase is less viscous than the invading one. Recent experiments by a group at the Weizmann institute, show that capillary wetting of paper may also lead to rough self-affine fronts. A...

The extinction transition on a 1D heterogeneous substrate with diffusive correlations is studied. Diffusively correlated heterogeneity is shown to affect the location of the transition point, as the reactants adapt to the fluctuating environment. At the transition point the density decays like...
