Abstract Basal cognition investigates working upwards from non-neuronal organisms. Since it is committed to empirically testable hypotheses, a methodological challenge arises: how can experiments avoid using zoo-centric assumptions that ignore the ecological contexts might elicit cognitively driven behaviour in organisms? To meet this challenge, I articulate Principle of Dynamic Holism (PDH), p...

Here, a new method is recommended to characterize continuous distribution class, named the generalized alpha exponent power family of distributions (GAEPFDs). A particular sub-model presented for exemplifying objective. The basic statistical properties, such as ordinary moments, probability weighted mode, quantile, order statistics, entropy measures, and moment generating functions, etc., were ...

Supramolecular hydrogels are generated when gelator molecules (or macromolecules) spontaneously self-assemble to form a 3D solid-like network via dynamic intermolecular non-covalent bonds, such as hydrogen bonding, π-π hydrophobic interactions, and van der Waals interactions. Here, the interactions that underlie formation of supramolecular presented, before exemplifying their versatility by hig...
