Different studies have tried to find a common thread that places different evolutionary and neo-Schumpeterian contributions to economic change under one umbrella. The complexity approach can account for a set of attribut...

This book presents the contents of an introduction course to Computer Science for engineering disciplines where the engineer makes use of the computer not only as an "office tool" but also as an integral part of his desi...

The city is perhaps the most complex of all human constructs. In the 21st century when cities are bigger than ever, and the majority of the world’s population now live in urban areas, the need for research into this co...

Sustainability is no longer peripheral to hotel operations; it is increasingly bound to service quality, operational credibility and competitive positioning. Yet how sustainability commitments are converted into reliable...

Drawing on Complexity Theory and on the literature of autonomy, the discussions herein presented will center around the language learner process of autonomy as a complex system. As empirical evidence to defend our assump...

I review some work on models of quantum computing, optical implementations of these models, as well as the associated computational power. In particular, we discuss the circuit model and cluster state implementations usi...

ABSTRACT This article presents a model of teletandem, i.e. tandem through desktop videoconferencing (Telles 2009). The aim of such a model is twofold: heuristic and pedagogical. It is heuristic because it enables us to u...

Abstract Counterfactuals have become an important area of interdisciplinary interest, especially in logic, philosophy of language, epistemology, metaphysics, psychology, decision theory, and even artificial intelligence....

The aim of this paper is to further explore the usefulness of the two-dimensional complexity-entropy causality plane as a texture image descriptor. A multiscale generalization is introduced in order to distinguish betwee...

We introduce and discuss a new computational model for the HermiteLagrange interpolation with nonlinear classes of polynomial interpolants. We distinguish between an interpolation problem and an algorithm that solves it....

Background-Although PBL is effective in biology learning, this approach often triggers cognitive overload when the complexity of the material and instructional demands exceed students' working memory capacity, while ther...

Experimental adsorption isotherms of bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorbed on sulfonated microspheres were described by means of two analytical models: the first is the well-known Langmuir–Freundlich model (LF), and the ...

BackgroundBuilt environments shape navigation, attention, and motor control through continuous brain–body-environment coupling, yet architecture, rehabilitation, and clinical mobility practice still lack a shared quant...

Abstract Bolt connection is one of the main fixing methods of cylindrical shell structures. A typical bolted connection model is considered as a tuned system. However, in the actual working conditions, due to the manufac...

Abstract This study examines individual differences through the lens of automatic speech recognition (ASR) transfer (applying ASR trained on one language to a new language) from Arabic to Tarifit, an under-resourced Amaz...

Abstract Each joint of a hydraulic-driven legged robot adopts a highly integrated hydraulic drive unit (HDU), which features a high power–weight ratio. However, most HDUs are throttling-valve-controlled cylinder system...

This article argues that certain established vocabularies that are used to interpret the circulation of educational discourse and its transformation in different settings have significant limitations to capture the compl...

Abstract The accurate estimation of parameters is the premise for establishing a high-fidelity simulation model of a valve-controlled cylinder system. Bench test data are easily obtained, but it is challenging to emulate...

We demonstrate the feasibility of using effective medium theory to reduce the computational complexity of full-wave models of inductors that are placed over interconnects. Placing inductors over interconnects is one way ...

Most works on the sociology of the future, presented mainly in the fields of Western sociology, are based on the epistemology of methodological individualism and the theory of rational choice. This means that the expecte...

Abstract We investigate a three-dimensional (3D) reciprocal invisibility cloak with a multilayered structure based on coordinate transformation theory and complementary media. There has been considerable research on invi...

From everyday consumer technologies and business processes to high-stakes domains such as military operations and critical care, autonomous systems now permeate nearly every facet of modern life, making it essential to m...

Abstract The complexity of student social adaptability development mechanisms in the context of physical education reform urgently requires in-depth exploration. Grounded in self-determination theory as the primary theor...

The exploration of TiO2 surface reactivity from first-principles calculations has been almost always limited to the gas phase, even though most of the chemically relevant applications of this interface involve the solid-...
