Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Substrate surface area and fractal complexity have been reported to influence the abundance and diversity of mobile cryptic animal communities. Surfaces with higher fractal dimensions not only offer additional space for colonization, but bias space ...

Complex Spatial Query Processing [PDF]
GeoInformatica, 2004 The user of a Geographical Information System is not limited to conventional spatial selections and joins, but may also pose more complicated and descriptive queries. In this paper, we focus on the efficient processing and optimization of complex spatial queries that involve combinations of spatial selections and joins. Our contribution is manifold; we

A Ubiquitous Collective Tragedy in Transport
Frontiers in Physics, 2022 A tragedy of the commons is said to occur when individuals act only in their own interest but, in so doing, create a collective state of a group that is less than optimal due to uncoordinated action.

Spatially embedded dynamics and complexity [PDF]
Complexity, 2010 AbstractTo gain a deeper understanding of the impact of spatial embedding on the dynamics of complex systems, we use a measure of interaction complexity developed within neuroscience using the tools of statistical information theory. We apply this measure to a set of simple network models embedded within Euclidean spaces of varying dimensionality to ...

Entropy, complexity, and spatial information [PDF]
Journal of Geographical Systems, 2014 We pose the central problem of defining a measure of complexity, specifically for spatial systems in general, city systems in particular. The measures we adopt are based on Shannon's (in Bell Syst Tech J 27:379-423, 623-656, 1948) definition of information.

The study of fractals among ecologists - doi: 10.4025/actascibiolsci.v34i1.7701
Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2011 Fractals seemed to have permeated most scientific fields, including ecology. In fact, biodiversity and ecological processes are affected by spatial complexity, and fractals can help understand patterns at multiple scales.

Complex delay dynamics on railway networks from universal laws to realistic modelling
EPJ Data Science, 2018 Railways are a key infrastructure for any modern country. The reliability and resilience of this peculiar transportation system may be challenged by different shocks such as disruptions, strikes and adverse weather conditions. These events compromise the

Ecology and Society, 2022 Panarchy illustrates the dynamic nature of social-ecological systems and their nestedness and interconnectedness through time and space. Although there have been great advances in ecosystem service (ES) research, it has only rarely integrated dynamic ...

How Many Gammas? Redefining Hippocampal Theta-Gamma Dynamic During Spatial Learning
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022 The hippocampal formation is one of the brain systems in which the functional roles of coordinated oscillations in information representation and communication are better studied. Within this circuit, neuronal oscillations are conceived as a mechanism to
