As indicated in the literature, renewable energy uncertainty (REU) offers a more comprehensive and reliable metric for assessing environmental degradation, and the dynamic connectedness between income inequality, the promotion of social welfare, and REU remains a contested topic. However, this...

Humans are unique in our ability to acquire diverse skills and inhabit myriad environments, but the cognitive mechanisms underlying such fast, flexible learning remain unresolved. Inspired by theories of artificial intelligence, here we show evidence for one such learning mechanism - program...

Dominant platforms like Booking.com have often imposed Price Parity Clauses to prevent lower prices on alternative sales channels. We provide quasi-experimental evidence on the removal of these price restrictions in France in 2015 for three major global hotel groups. Our analysis reveals limited...

We study the complex Ginzburg–Landau equation posed on possibly unbounded domains, including some singular and saturated nonlinear damping terms. This model interpolates between the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and dissipative parabolic dynamics through a complex time-derivative prefactor,...

Published claims should be reproducible, yielding the same result when the same analysis is applied to the same data1,2. Here we assess reproducibility in a stratified random sample of 600 papers published from 2009 to 2018 in 62 journals spanning the social and behavioural sciences. The authors of...
