Abstract Complexity sciences have become famous worldwide thanks to several popular books that served as echo chambers of their promises. These consisted in departing from “classical science” defined deterministic, reductionist, analytic and mono-disciplinary. Their founders supporters declared complexity were going give rise (or they given rise) a post-Laplacian, antireductionist, holistic int...

We show that the unreduced, mathematically rigorous solution of the many-body problem with arbitrary interaction, avoiding any perturbative approximations and “exact” models, reveals qualitatively new mathematical properties of thus emerging real-world structures (interaction products), including dynamic multivaluedness (universal non-uniqueness of ordinary solution) giving rise to intrinsic ra...

In this paper, we propose a novel distance-based camera network topology inference method for efficient person re-identification. To this end, we first calibrate each camera and estimate relative scales between cameras. Using the calibration results of multiple cameras, we calculate the speed of each person and infer the distance between cameras to generate distance-based camera network topolog...

Kocevski et al. (2003) found that there is a linear relation between the rise time and the width of gamma-ray burst pulses detected by the BATSE instrument based on their empirical functions. Motivated by this, we investigate the relationship based on Qin et al. (2004) model. Theoretical analysis shows that each of the two quantities, the rise time and the width of observed pulse, is proportion...

There is a conception that contemporary work lives become ever more complex. Pioneering research has indicated have indeed complex, yet at modestly increasing pace. This paper uses Swedish registry data across an exceptionally long time period, including cohorts born from 1931 to 1983. The following conclusions are drawn using state-of-the-art methods of measuring sequence complexity. For early...

the present meta-analysis was conducted to provide a quantitative measure of the overall effects of task complexity on chinese efl learners’ language production. based on the strict inclusion criteria, 12 primary studies were synthesized according to key features. eleven of them were meta-analyzed to investigate effects of raising the resource-directing task complexity. results revealed that ...

In an attempt to illuminate some of the underlying causes of phonological deficit in dyslexia we investigated the influences of processing suprasegmental acoustic features on children’s phonological awareness and reading and spelling abilities. In the English cohort tested (N=65) the processing of duration but not of intensity in 9-year old dyslexic children was significantly poorer than in age...

The current profile along the 126 ns, multi-bunch beam pulse in the Next Linear Collider Test Accelerator (NLCTA) is monitored with fast toroids (rise time -1 ns). Inserted at several positions along the beam line, they allow us to track current transmission as a function of position along the bunch train. Various measurements, such as rise time, current, width, and slope, are made on the digit...

been published in academic journals are never cited. Indeed, as many as 50% of papers are never read by anyone other than their authors, referees and journal editors. We know this thanks to citation analysis, a branch of information science in which researchers study the way articles in a scholarly field are accessed and referenced by others. Citation analysis is, however, about much more than ...

Semi-Markov processes have gained popularity as multistate models of disease progression but have rarely been used in randomized clinical trials (RCTs) when many endpoints are collected over time. Reasons for this include the additional complexity created by censoring, the complexity of the model usually characterised by transition intensities and difficulties in estimating clinically relevant ...
