Criticality as a Determinant of Integrated Information Φ in Human Brain Networks
Entropy, 2019 Integrated information theory (IIT) describes consciousness as information integrated across highly differentiated but irreducible constituent parts in a system.

Assessing the critical material constraints on low carbon infrastructure transitions
, 2013 We present an assessment method to analyze whether the disruption in supply of a group of materials endangers the transition to low-carbon infrastructure. We define criticality as the combination of the potential for supply disruption and the exposure of

Defining Roles in Pediatric Palliative Care: Perspectives From Oncology and Palliative Care Teams
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Early integration of pediatric palliative care (PPC) is associated with improved symptom management, quality of life, and healthcare utilization for children with cancer. Despite this, variation persists in how PPC is understood, operationalized, and integrated within pediatric oncology programs. In particular, ambiguity surrounding

Using a Hybrid Cost-FMEA Analysis for Wind Turbine Reliability Analysis
Energies, 2017 Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) has been proven to be an effective methodology to improve system design reliability. However, the standard approach reveals some weaknesses when applied to wind turbine systems.

Role of membrane potential fluctuations to the criticality of neuronal avalanche activity [PDF]
, 2007 Experimental evidence for self-organised criticality (SOC) in non-conservative systems has recently been found in studies of rat cortical slices. The size distribution of observed neuronal avalanches has been attested to obey $3/2$ power-law scaling.

Mean-Field-Theory for Polymers in Mixed Solvents Thermodynamic and Structural Properties
, 1999 Theoretical aspects of polymers in mixed solvents are considered using the Edwards Hamiltonian formalism. Thermodynamic and structural properties are investigated and some predictions are made when the mixed solvent approaches criticality.

Raw material ‘criticality’—sense or nonsense?
, 2017 The past decade has seen a resurgence of interest in the supply security of mineral raw materials. A key to the current debate is the concept of ‘criticality’.

Spontaneous cortical activity is transiently poised close to criticality
PLoS Comput. Biol., 2017 Brain activity displays a large repertoire of dynamics across the sleep-wake cycle and even during anesthesia. It was suggested that criticality could serve as a unifying principle underlying the diversity of dynamics. This view has been supported by the

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) often exhibit early deficits in muscle and movement competence, which can compromise long‐term health. Integrative neuromuscular training (INT), a multifaceted approach combining fundamental movement activities with strength exercises, may help address these deficits during ...

Self-Organized Cooperative Criticality in Coupled Complex Systems
, 2013 We show that the coupled complex systems can evolve into a new kind of self-organized critical state where each subsystem is not critical, however, they cooperate to be critical.
