Heavy truck mobility is crucial in serving urban freight supply and demand, but it can also lead to traffic accidents, high energy consumption and pollutant emissions. Exploring the statistical characteristics of heavy truck mobility is highly important for efficiently managing cities and enhancing sustainable urban development. In this paper, we review some scaling laws of urban heavy truck mobility, including the allometry of urban heavy truck mobility and some scaling laws observed in collective mobility networks and individual mobility trajectories of urban heavy trucks. We also introduce models that explain the underlying mechanisms of these scaling laws. We further provide an outlook for future research on urban heavy truck mobility.

Fairness stands as a pivotal element in maintaining social stability. It is still a highly challenging issue to explain how fairness emerges in society. The ultimatum game (UG) and the dictator game (DG) have become prominent paradigms for exploring the emergence of fairness. A great number of mechanisms have been put forward to promote the emergence of fairness in these two games. In this paper, we sort out the recent relevant evolutionary game models regarding fairness and categorize them according to the mechanisms for the emergence of fairness. The main mechanisms consist of network reciprocity, role assignment, spite, empathy, stake size, and indirect reciprocity. Especially for indirect reciprocity, we make a detailed introduction of a theoretical method and some recent works that use this theoretical approach to explore how fairness evolves. Finally, we suggest several potential avenues for future research.

In this short review article, we present recent progress in quantum thermodynamics in the framework with a correlated catalyst. We examine two key properties of thermal operations, the Gibbs-preserving property and the covariant property. The state convertibility of a Gibbs-preserving operation is fully characterized by the second law of thermodynamics with the nonequilibrium free energy. The state convertibility of a covariant operation is shown to be free as long as an initial state has finite coherence. We finally show that these two findings can be combined in the enhanced thermal operation (covariant Gibbs-preserving operation).

Fundamental laws of physics are symmetric under time reversal (T) symmetry, but the T symmetry is strongly broken in the macroscopic world. In this Perspective, I review T symmetry breaking frameworks: second law of thermodynamics, multiscale energy transfer, and open systems. In driven dissipative nonequilibrium systems, including turbulence, the multiscale energy flux from large scales to small scales helps determine the arrow of time. In addition, open systems are often irreversible due to particle and energy exchanges between the system and the environment. Causality is another important factor that breaks the T symmetry.

While “complexity science" has achieved significant successes in several interdisciplinary fields such as economics and biology, it is only a very recent observation that legal systems —from the way legal texts are drafted and connected to the rest of the corpus, up to the level of how judges and courts reach decisions under a variety of conflicting inputs— share several features with standard Complex Adaptive Systems. This review is meant as a gentle introduction to the use of quantitative tools and techniques of complexity science to describe, analyse, and tame the complex web of human interactions that the Law is supposed to regulate. We offer an overview of the main directions of research undertaken so far as well as an outlook for future research, and we argue that statistical physicists and complexity scientists should not ignore the opportunities offered by the cross-fertilisation between legal scholarship and complex-systems modelling.
