Understanding Complexity [PDF]
, 2009 {Excerpt} In development agencies, paradigms of linear causality condition much thinking and practice. They encourage command-and-control hierarchies, centralize decision making, and dampen creativity and innovation.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study presents a multimodal characterization method for a prototype metamaterial model structure that features four distinct states of mechanical stiffness and electrical resistivity. Through simulations and experiments, it uncovers insights into the structural behavior, the correlation between changes in electrical resistivity and mechanical ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A simulative evaluation of triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structures for an elastocaloric application under compressive load is performed. For the evaluation of the structure's performance, surface/volume ratio, generated heat and invested mechanical work are taken into account and are compared to a tube as a reference specimen.

3D Bioprinting of Thick Adipose Tissues with Integrated Vascular Hierarchies
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.An advanced 3D bioprinting technique is used here to create thick adipose tissues with a central, vessel and extensive branching. The construct is made using alginate, gelatin and collagen‐based bioinks. Flow through the complex vessel network is demonstrated as well as its successful integration with a femoral artery following implantation in a rat ...

Proceedings of the ECCS 2005 satellite workshop: embracing complexity in design - Paris 17 November 2005 [PDF]
, 2005 Embracing complexity in design is one of the critical issues and challenges of the 21st century. As the realization grows that design activities and artefacts display properties associated with complex adaptive systems, so grows the need to use ...

Nano‐Patterned CuO Nanowire Nanogap Hydrogen Gas Sensor with Voids
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 18, 2025.Sub‐5‐ppb hydrogen (H2) detection and sub‐10‐s response and recovery times are achieved based on nano‐patterned polycrystalline CuO nanowires nanogap gas sensors with voids using electron‐beam lithography and unique annealing processes. Pre‐H2 annealing, void‐generating oxidation, and downscaled nanogap electrodes are key to improving the sensing ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In this work, a magnetic core‐shell catalyst (HOF‐on‐Fe3O4/ZIF‐67) is successfully synthesized, consisting of a metal–organic framework (ZIF‐67) with magnetic Fe3O4 as the core and a porous hydrogen‐bonded organic framework (HOF) as the shell. The catalyst efficiently activated peroxymonosulfate, resulting in rapid and effective removal of water ...

Complexity and Philosophy [PDF]
, 2006 The science of complexity is based on a new way of thinking that stands in sharp contrast to the philosophy underlying Newtonian science, which is based on reductionism, determinism, and objective knowledge.
