Synchronization to extreme events in moving agents
New Journal of Physics, 2019 Interactions amongst agents frequently exist only at particular moments in time, depending on their closeness in space and movement parameters. Here we propose a minimal model of moving agents where the network of contacts changes over time due to their ...

Strength through diversity: how cancers thrive when clones cooperate
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Intratumor heterogeneity can offer direct benefits to the tumor through cooperation between different clones. In this review, Kuiken et al. discuss existing evidence for clonal cooperativity to identify overarching principles, and highlight how novel technological developments could address remaining open questions.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Combining PTEN protein assessment and transcriptomic profiling of prostate tumors, we uncovered a network enriched in senescence and extracellular matrix (ECM) programs associated with PTEN loss and conserved in a mouse model. We show that PTEN‐deficient cells trigger paracrine remodeling of the surrounding stroma and this information could help ...

Quantifying human mobility resilience to extreme events using geo-located social media data
EPJ Data Science, 2019 Mobility is one of the fundamental requirements of human life with significant societal impacts including productivity, economy, social wellbeing, adaptation to a changing climate, and so on.

Extreme Events: Mechanisms and Prediction [PDF]
Applied Mechanics Review, 2018 Extreme events, such as rogue waves, earthquakes, and stock market crashes, occur spontaneously in many dynamical systems. Because of their usually adverse consequences, quantification, prediction, and mitigation of extreme events are highly desirable.

Social SciencesStudies in public policy have suggested that disasters can potentially serve as “focusing events”, catalyzing significant changes to disaster risk reduction (DRR) policies and practices. How and why this effect does (or does not) ensue, and for how long,

LDAcoop: Integrating non‐linear population dynamics into the analysis of clonogenic growth in vitro
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Limiting dilution assays (LDAs) quantify clonogenic growth by seeding serial dilutions of cells and scoring wells for colony formation. The fraction of negative wells is plotted against cells seeded and analyzed using the non‐linear modeling of LDAcoop.

Extreme weather events inWest Hungary
International Journal of Horticultural Science, 2010 Agricultural production is a rather risky activity, as it is largely exposed to extreme weather events. This paper focuses on the frost and hail data in springtime, affecting fruit production in West Hungary.

Extreme events reveal an alimentary limit on sustained maximal human energy expenditure
Science Advances, 2019 Maximum sustained energy expenditure in humans is limited by energy intake and strongly tied to event duration. The limits on maximum sustained energy expenditure are unclear but are of interest because they constrain reproduction, thermoregulation, and ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.To integrate multiple transcriptomics data with severe batch effects for identifying MB subtypes, we developed a novel and accurate computational method named RaMBat, which leveraged subtype‐specific gene expression ranking information instead of absolute gene expression levels to address batch effects of diverse data sources.
