A network of 32 or 64 connected neural masses, each representing a large population of interacting excitatory and inhibitory neurons and generating an electroencephalography/magnetoencephalography like output signal, was used to demonstrate how an interaction between dynamics and connectivity might explain the emergence of complex network features, in particular modularity. Network evolution wa...

The objective of this paper is to analyse the implications for developing countries to adopt greenhouse gases emissions reduction targets on the basis of a Carbon Intensity Index (Emissions/GDP). The basis for that prescription is that the target becomes dynamic, avoiding the slowing down of the countries’ development and the creation of “hot air” (since greater growth means greater emissions a...
