Quantifying Structural Complexity, Effort, and Performance: An Early Experiment Using Network Design Tasks

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Structural Complexity is perceived as driving cost in system development, yet managing it effectively requires empirical understanding. This study investigates human decision‐making using a toy transportation‐style network design task, focusing on how Structural Complexity, Effort, and Performance interact. Seventy‐four participants (primarily

A Bibliometric Review of the INCOSE's Model‐Based Systems Engineering Roadmap

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the past decade, model‐based systems engineering (MBSE) has gained attention as an approach for managing system complexity, offering a shift from a document‐based to a model‐based approach. The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) sparked increasing interest when it introduced MBSE and its roadmap as part of its systems ...

Phthalate Metabolite, Mono(2‐Ethyl‐5‐Hydroxyhexyl) Phthalate (MEHHP), Promotes Uterine‐Fibroid–Associated Phenotypes in Myometrial Stem Cell‐Derived 3D Organoids

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how phthalate exposure contributes to uterine fibroid (UF) development by studying the effects of the Mono‐(2‐ethyl‐5‐hydroxyhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP), a metabolite of Di(2‐ethylhexyl) phthalate, on myometrial stem cells (MMSCs).

Bisphenols and Phthalates in Bottled Mineral Water: First Evidence of Co‐Occurrence, Estrogenic Activity, and Health Risk in Brazil

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bisphenol A (BPA), its structural analogs, and phthalates are synthetic chemicals widely used, with documented endocrine‐disrupting activity. This study aimed to develop and validate a selective multiresidue analytical method for the simultaneous determination of BPA, 10 bisphenol analogs, and six phthalates in PET‐bottled mineral water.

Mathematical thinking of undergraduate students when using three types of software

, 2008
The research investigates how conceptual understanding of mathematics is promoted when using three types of software: black-box (no mathematical intermediate steps shown), glass-box (intermediate steps shown) and open-box (interaction at each ...

Generating Compressed Counterfactual Hard Negative Samples for Graph Contrastive Learning

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Graph contrastive learning (GCL) relies on acquiring high‐quality positive and negative samples to learn the structural semantics of the input graph. Previous approaches typically sampled negative samples from the same training batch or an irrelevant external graph.

Circular Economy Capabilities for Slowing Resource Loops at Small Businesses in China, Finland and Japan – An Institutional Logics Perspective

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract Existing circular economy (CE) research has primarily explored capabilities for the principle of closing resource loops (recycle and recover) in limited institutional contexts. However, little is known about the capabilities for the principle of slowing resource loops (reduce and reuse), despite its alignment towards achieving net zero ...
