The concept of self-organized complexity evolved from the scaling behaviour of several cellular automata models, examples include the sandpile, slider-block and forest-fire models. Each of these systems has a large number of degrees of freedom and shows a power-law frequency-area distribution of ...
Examples include self-healing, self-repair, self-reconfiguring, built-in redundancy and self-adapting systems. SE systems aim to increase products useful life and extend its use phase. In previous research a complexity framework for identifying complexity of SE system was outlined; this paper builds...
Rather than describing such complex systems at a purely phenomenological level, however, I focus attention on the emergent nature of this complexity, by analysing a few examples of physical and physicochemical systems with simple underlying microscopic dynamics yet complex, self-organizing macroscopic ...
Numerous graphs and specific examples describe integral processes and tools for change. This is a global, whole, multi-perspective way of looking at the world. Chapters explore: Four-quadrant map of reality Cities as concentrators of complex wealth Mapping intelligence capacities Mapping infrastructure ...
As most of these structures are intended for biomedical applications, most examples included correspond to this field. 3. Intrinsically disordered proteins and ELRs 3.1. Concept of intrinsically disordered proteins The term intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), or intrinsically unstructured proteins, ...
A zebra's stripes, a seashell's spirals, a butterfly's wings: these are all examples of patterns in nature. The formation of patterns is a puzzle for mathematicians and biologists alike. How does the delicate design of a butterfly's wings come from a single fertilized egg? How does patt...
Abstract Dynamic protein-rich intracellular structures that contain phase-separated intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) composed of sequences of low complexity (SLC) have been shown to serve a variety of important cellular functions, which include signalling, compartmentalization and stabilization. Howev...
execution in the complex task but not in the simple one. Furthermore, the SRL processes of high performers were cyclically sustained in the complex task. In addition to its theoretical contribution, this study informs the design of ITS regarding providing adaptive scaffoldings and prompts in SRL....
The examples of GCDBR: (a) NL; (b) NOL; (c) NORL. Besides, to improve the detection accuracy, it is necessary to separate out the fish from the environment. Usually fish have a similar color to the environment to protect themselves. Therefore, a large number of optical images of the...
The rotors and platens of the disclosed embodiments are examples of actuated components. The embodiment of exemplary motor 100 depicted in FIG. 1 is shown as having a rotary configuration, although other embodiments may include linear configurations as will be described below. Actuated component 110...
