Impacts of Change‐Type and State‐Type System Qualities on Complex System Architectures

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT System qualities, such as scalability, expandability, and reconfigurability, are key requirements of complex systems. Requirements associated with system qualities are important factors in design trade space analyses, but systems engineering design methodologies make only limited use of these qualities, hindering a holistic understanding of ...

Brain reward function in young people with cannabis use disorder: A functional magnetic resonance imaging study

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Aims Cannabis use disorder (CUD) affects ~50 million people globally. Neuroscientific theories suggest that a blunted neural response to non‐drug rewards is a hallmark of substance use disorders; however, this remains untested in CUD. The current study tested whether brain reward system responses to the anticipation and feedback
