International monetary flows of non-declared origin
… the thesis determines that both terrorism and organised crime are nurtured by a constant trickle from minor sources rather than by large financial transfers; and that anti-money laundering provisions are misapplied, taken too far, too expensive, and incapable of demonstrating their …

Investigating neuronal network dynamics : scale-invariance, preferred firing rates, and plasticity via phase-shift encoding
… Scale-invariant properties, which suggest self-organised criticality (SOC), have been observed in these networks, but the mechanisms underlying these dynamics have remained unclear. Despite theoretical models, there is still limited experimental evidence on how neuronal networks exhibit …

Failure processes in submarine landslides: a geomorphological approach
… a geomorphological system that may exhibit self-organised criticality. Spatial scale<br/>invariance may also be linked to the retrogressive nature of the Storegga Slide. The shape<br/>and fractal dimension of headwalls, on the other hand, can be used as a proxy for the type<br/>and number of …

Avalanching on dunes and its effects: Size statistics, stratification, & seismic surveys
… by their size statistics. Reconciling the `self-organised criticality' that several authors have predicted for such a system with the hysteretic behaviour that others have observed, the system exhibits quasi-periodic, system-spanning avalanches in one regime, while in the other avalanches …

Structural Evolution in the Dynamic Plasticity of FCC Metals
Above true strain rates of $10^4$ s$^{-1}$ FCC metals exhibit a rapid increase in strength. Understanding of the physical mechanisms behind this strength transition is hindered by the number and interdependence of candidate mechanisms. Broadly, contributions to strength can be split into …
