‘I'd kill anyone who tried to take my band away’: Obesity Surgery, Critical Fat Politics and the ‘problem’ of Patient Demand | Somatechnics

https://www.euppublishing.com/doi/10.3366/soma.2012.0044

Obesity surgery is commonly figured within Fat Studies as the violent mutilation of the fat body, and as the unjustifiable apotheosis of the war on obesity. However, while calls to stop obesity sur...

The Kramers-Moyal expansion

https://www.ph.ed.ac.uk/events/2019/78591-the-kramers-moyal-expansion

The Kramers-Moyal expansion is a very useful tool for obtaining equations for the evolution of stochastic variables given a master equation formulism. In this talk, I will derive the Kramers-Moyal expansion and discuss when the truncation of this

Large Deviation Theory and Thermodynamics

https://www.ph.ed.ac.uk/events/2012/75475-large-deviation-theory-and-thermodynamics

A Large Deviation Principle is said to be valid for a stochastic variable, if the logarithm of its probability distribution is extensive in the system size. In that case, equivalents to the equilibrium entropy and thermodynamic potentials can be
