Modeling the Structure and Complexity of Engineering Routine Design Problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This paper proposes a model to structure routine design problems as well as a model of its design complexity. The idea is that having a proper model of the structure of such problems enables understanding its complexity, and likewise, a proper ...

A Relational View of Uncertainty

open access: yesStrategic Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is significant confusion and debate in entrepreneurship and strategy research about the nature and locus of uncertainty. Does uncertainty reside internally in the agent or externally in the environment? This article introduces a relational view of uncertainty (RVU) to help reframe this issue.

Association Between Body Mass Index and Depression/Anxiety in an East Asian Population: A Mendelian Randomization Study

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obesity and psychiatric disorders are the leading causes of global morbidity. Epidemiological studies suggest a bidirectional link between higher body mass index (BMI) and mental health outcomes, but the direction of causality remains uncertain due to confounding and reverse causation. We performed a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using

Attribute Implication Bases From Galois Connection Structures

open access: yesMathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modeling knowledge systems by determining relationships among key variables have been and currently is a fundamental and nontrivial challenge in real‐world scenarios. Many approaches have been developed to reach this goal, but many of them are heuristic and require of alternative procedures to provide robust and tractable rules.

The Relativity of Existence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Despite the success of modern physics in formulating mathematical theories that can predict the outcome of experiments, we have made remarkably little progress towards answering the most fundamental question of: why is there a universe at all, as opposed
