Transitions from Trees to Cycles in Adaptive Flow Networks [PDF]
Frontiers in Physics, 2017 Transport networks are crucial to the functioning of natural and technological systems. Nature features transport networks that are adaptive over a vast range of parameters, thus providing an impressive level of robustness in supply.

Computing the adaptive cycle [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractGunderson’s and Holling’s adaptive cycle metaphor provides a qualitative description of the development of a dynamically evolving complex system. According to the metaphor, a complex system alternately passes through phases of stability and predictability and phases of reorganization and stochasticity.

A comparative investigation between ProTaper Next, Hyflex CM, 2Shape, and TF-Adaptive file systems concerning cyclic fatigue resistance [PDF]
Journal of Dental Research, Dental Clinics, Dental Prospects, 2021 Background. This study aimed to compare the cyclic fatigue resistance of ProTaper Next, Hyflex CM, 2Shape, and TF-Adaptive nickel-titanium endodontic file systems with various alloy properties and production methods and investigate the fractured cross ...

Quantifying the Adaptive Cycle [PDF]
PLOS ONE, 2015 The adaptive cycle was proposed as a conceptual model to portray patterns of change in complex systems. Despite the model having potential for elucidating change across systems, it has been used mainly as a metaphor, describing system dynamics qualitatively.

Adaptive Driving Cycles of EVs for Reducing Energy Consumption
Energies, 2021 A driving cycle is a time series of a vehicle’s speed, reflecting its movement in real road conditions. In addition to certification and comparative research, driving cycles are used in the virtual design of drive systems and embedded control algorithms,

Ecological Complexity, 2019 Abstract The adaptive cycle and its extension to panarchy (nested adaptive cycles) has been a useful metaphor and conceptual model for understanding long-term dynamics of change in ecological and social–ecological systems. We argue that adaptive cycles are ubiquitous in complex adaptive systems because they reflect endogenously generated dynamics as ...

Coordinated SSM: An Adaptation of the SSM Learning Cycle [PDF]
Systems, 2021 This paper discusses the coordinated use of the Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) learning cycle with additional bodies of knowledge. This approach furthers focused understanding and appreciation for taking action within social systems. Adapting the SSM learning cycle extends the richness of the real-world situation understood from an analytic soft ...

Introduction. Adaptation to the annual cycle [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2007 Most large organisms have an annual routine; that is to say they schedule activities in a regular way over the year. Like any behaviour, annual routines can be explained in terms of either their causation or their contribution to reproductive success, that is their evolutionary function ...

Resilience Management for Conservation of Inland Recreational Fisheries
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Resilience thinking has generated much interest among scientific communities, yet most resilience concepts have not materialized into management applications. We believe that using resilience concepts to characterize systems and the social and ecological

Resilience, Adaptability and Transformability in Social-ecological Systems
Ecology and Society, 2004 The concept of resilience has evolved considerably since Holling's (1973) seminal paper. Different interpretations of what is meant by resilience, however, cause confusion.
