The Analysis of Mammalian Hearing Systems Supports the Hypothesis That Criticality Favors Neuronal Information Representation but Not Computation

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
In the neighborhood of critical states, distinct materials exhibit the same physical behavior, expressed by common simple laws among measurable observables, hence rendering a more detailed analysis of the individual systems obsolete.

A Review of Zirconolite Solid Solution Regimes for Plutonium and Candidate Neutron Absorbing Additives

open access: yesCeramics, 2023
Should the decision be made to immobilise the UK Pu inventory through a campaign of Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) in a zirconolite matrix, prior to placement in a geological disposal facility (GDF), a suite of disposability criteria must be satisfied.

Critical Spatial-Temporal Dynamics and Prominent Shape Collapse of Calcium Waves Observed in Human hNT Astrocytes in Vitro

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Networks of neurons are typically studied in the field of Criticality. However, the study of astrocyte networks in the brain has been recently lauded to be of equal importance to that of the neural networks. To date criticality assessments have only been

Broadband criticality of human brain network synchronization

open access: yes, 2009
Self-organized criticality is an attractive model for human brain dynamics, but there has been little direct evidence for its existence in large-scale systems measured by neuroimaging. In general, critical systems are associated with fractal or power law

Criticality-Driven Evolution of Adaptable Morphologies of Voxel-Based Soft-Robots

open access: yesFrontiers in Robotics and AI, 2021
The paradigm of voxel-based soft robots has allowed to shift the complexity from the control algorithm to the robot morphology itself. The bodies of voxel-based soft robots are extremely versatile and more adaptable than the one of traditional robots ...
