Onset of criticality in hyper-auxetic polymer networks
Nature Communications, 2022 Auxetic materials are characterized by a negative Poisson’s ratio - they become thicker when stretched. Here, authors reach the limit of auxetic behavior, known as hyper-auxetic, in polymer networks, hitting an unconventional mechanical critical point.

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

The Competing Two-Strain SIS Pairwise Approximation Model With Infection Age
IEEE Access, 2019 This paper studies a two-strain SIS pairwise approximation model with a competing mechanism and non-Markovian recovery process in which the recovery rate depends on infection age.

AHP-TOPSIS integration extended with Pythagorean fuzzy sets for information security risk analysis [PDF]
, 2019 Risk analysis (RA) contains several methodologies that object to ensure the protection and safety of occupational stakeholders. Multi attribute decision-making (MADM) is one of the most important RA methodologies that is applied to several areas from ...

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Japan has one of the highest dialysis prevalence rates worldwide and a shrinking, aging population. Whether dialysis burden has entered a sustained post‐peak phase or whether recent declines partly reflect pandemic‐related disruptions remains uncertain.

Topic detection with recursive consensus clustering and semantic enrichment
Humanities & Social Sciences Communications, 2023 Extracting meaningful information from short texts like tweets has proved to be a challenging task. Literature on topic detection focuses mostly on methods that try to guess the plausible words that describe topics whose number has been decided in ...

Are Innovation Systems Complex Systems?
, 2016 Basically, complex systems are defined as a large number of autonomous entities in interaction, that create several levels of collective organization leading to emergent (and immergent) behavior. In short, complex systems are characterized by the observation that the whole is more than the sum of the parts (Aristotle).

The Evolution of Complex Systems
Zeitschrift für Naturforschung A, 1988 Abstract A principle of evolution of highly complex systems is proposed. It is based on extremal properties of the information I (X, Y) characterizing two states X and Y with respect to each other, I(X, Y) = H(Y) -H(Y/X), where H(Y) is the entropy of state Y,H (Y/X) the entropy in state Y given the ...

Dynamics of a double-stranded DNA segment in a shear flow [PDF]
, 2016 We study the dynamics of a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) segment, as a semiflexible polymer, in a shear flow, the strength of which is customarily expressed in terms of the dimensionless Weissenberg number Wi.
