The Q-state Potts model in two dimensions is very fertile ground for the investigation of phase transitions and critical phenomena. For Q = 2 and 3 there is a second order phase transition between Q ferromagnetic ordered states and a disordered state. For Q = 4 the transition is also second order, but the usual critical behavior is modified by strong logarithmic corrections. For Q > 4 the trans...

4-Hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) is a peroxidation product of ˆ-6-poly-unsaturated fatty acids and exerts growth modifying as well as cytotoxic activities. This aldehyde component of oxidized lipid is increased during the aging process. In this study, to characterize the potential role of the lipid peroxidation product in aging, we studied the effects of 4-HNE on cell proliferation and activation of ce...

I Over the last decade or so, much has been written about the new "science of complexity". From journalistic hyperbole to cutting edge research, it is widely assumed that the science of complexity has indeed discovered something new, that is worthy of the attention of scientists and philosophers alike. But what? An overarching principle that connects the study of complex systems across the phys...
