Mapping and discrimination of networks in the complexity-entropy plane

open access: yes, 2017
Complex networks are usually characterized in terms of their topological, spatial, or information-theoretic properties and combinations of the associated metrics are used to discriminate networks into different classes or categories.

Vaccination and Complex Social Dynamics

open access: yesCoRR, 2016
Vaccination and outbreak monitoring are essential tools for preventing and minimizing outbreaks of infectious diseases. Targeted strategies, where the individuals most important for monitoring or preventing outbreaks are selected for intervention, offer a possibility to significantly improve these measures.

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Complexity, Modeling, and Natural Resource Management

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2013
This paper contends that natural resource management (NRM) issues are, by their very nature, complex and that both scientists and managers in this broad field will benefit from a theoretical understanding of complex systems.

Complexity and Uncertainty in the Forecasting of Complex Social Systems [PDF]

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Description of Complex Systems : INDECS, 2004
The better the model, the more features of the problem it explains. However, showing that the model has similarities to that of a phenomena is often less significant in applications due to lack of data. Forecasting, as special application of modelling, is neither an exception: besides statistical data one should use several types of subjective ...

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

Aproximación evolutiva a la    complejidad y al orden social temprano a través del estudio de representaciones    rupestres de la quebrada de Matancillas (Puna argentina)

open access: yesEstudios Atacameños
A partir del estudio de la elaboración rupestre de la quebrada de Matancillas (Provincia de Salta, Puna argentina), discutimos desde la perspectiva evolucionista algunos aspectos de la conducta social durante el Período Temprano en la región (1000 AC ...

Towards Sustainable Future by Transition to the Next Level Civilisation [PDF]

open access: yes
Universal and rigorously derived concept of dynamic complexity (ccsd-00004906) shows that any system of interacting components, including society and civilisation, exists only as a process of highly inhomogeneous, qualitative development of its ...

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Adaptation to Social Complexity

open access: yesVestnik MGIMO-Universiteta, 2013
Modern Society as a Complex Dynamic System is Affected by Unforeseen Fluctuations. By Historical Standards, the Recent Introduction of the Nonlinear Approach into the Scientific World Picture put the Classical Understanding of Space and Time to the ...
