Governing in the Anthropocene: What Future Systems Thinking in Practice? [PDF]

, 2016
The revealing and concealing features of the metaphor ‘earth as Anthropocene’ are explored in an inquiry that asks: In the Anthropocene what possible futures emerge for systems thinking in practice? Framing choice, so important yet so poorly realised, is

Eco‐Fabricated Nanowave‐Textured Implants Drive Microtubule‐Assisted Nuclear Mechanotransduction and Chromatin Modification: Biophysical Priming for Osteogenesis and Bone Regeneration

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Eco‐friendly nanowave‐textured implants produced via femtosecond laser fabrication enhance bone regeneration by orchestrating a precise mechanotransduction cascade. This nanotopography directs mesenchymal stem cell alignment and cytoskeletal organization, triggering changes in nuclear shape and chromatin acetylation that prime cells for osteogenesis ...

The view from elsewhere: perspectives on ALife Modeling [PDF]

, 2002
Many artificial life researchers stress the interdisciplinary character of the field. Against such a backdrop, this report reviews and discusses artificial life, as it is depicted in, and as it interfaces with, adjacent disciplines (in particular ...

Magnetically Guided Mechanoactive Mineralization Scaffolds for Enhanced Bone Regeneration

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D‐printed ‘rebar‐concrete’ inspired scaffold (PGS‐P@MGel) synergizes spontaneous biomineralization with magneto‐mechanical stimulation through PDA@Fe3O4‐embedded hydrogel. This dual biointerface activates Piezo1/β‐catenin/YAP mechanotransduction axis, enhancing BMSCs osteogenesis and angiogenesis simultaneously.

Fabrication and Characterization of MWCNTs Decorated ZnO Nanograins Based Sensor for Enhanced Performance Toward CO2 Gas

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The present work is concerned with the fabrication of CO2 sensors based on MWCNTs/ZnO material, which is obtained by RF magnetron sputtering and electron‐beam deposition methods. The sensor exhibits highly sensitive and selective behavior, high repeatability, and temporal stability at low CO2 concentrations.

The cybernetic Bayesian brain: from interoceptive inference to sensorimotor contingencies [PDF]

, 2015
Is there a single principle by which neural operations can account for perception, cognition, action, and even consciousness? A strong candidate is now taking shape in the form of “predictive processing”.

A Closed-Loop Output Error Approach for Physics-Informed Trajectory Inference Using Online Data

IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics, 2022
While autonomous systems can be used for a variety of beneficial applications, they can also be used for malicious intentions and it is mandatory to disrupt them before they act.

Reconfigurable Soft Actuators Constructed via Layer‐by‐layer Assembly

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Stimulated by the energy inputs from heating or humidifying, structural reconfigurations took place in two different materials as manifested by the dynamic structures and mechanical performance, leading to the opportunities of self‐healing and welding. Based on the hierarchical assembly of these two materials with complementary properties, an actuator ...

On boundaries and disciplines: constructing a set of key systems thinkers [PDF]

, 2006
Over the past four years, the Open University has been working on an internal project of systems scholarship, called 'Systems Thinkers'. We have examined the life and work of fifty key thinkers, held discussions on their significance, and are in the ...

Handling Dynamic Multiobjective Optimization Environments via Layered Prediction and Subspace-Based Diversity Maintenance

IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics, 2021
In this article, we propose an evolutionary algorithm based on layered prediction (LP) and subspace-based diversity maintenance (SDM) for handling dynamic multiobjective optimization (DMO) environments. The LP strategy takes into account different levels
