Self-organized criticality and urban development by Michael Batty, Yichun Xie

“…To describe and measure this transition, we introduce a new theory based on the concept that large-scale, complex systems composed of many interacting elements, show a surprising degree of resilience to change, holding themselves at critical levels for long periods until conditions emerge which move the system, often abruptly, to a new threshold. …”

Effect of Polymer Network Architecture on Adsorption Kinetics at Liquid–Liquid Interfaces: A Comparison Between Poly(NIPAM-co-AA) Copolymer Microgels and Interpenetrating Network M... by Galina A. Komarova, Elena Yu. Kozhunova, Rustam A. Gumerov, Igor I. Potemkin, Irina R. Nasimova

“…Specifically, the use of stimuli-responsive particles can introduce new properties and broaden the application range of such complex systems. Recently, we demonstrated that emulsions stabilized by microgels composed of interpenetrating networks (IPNs) of poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM) and polyacrylic acid (PAA) exhibit higher colloidal stability upon heating compared to PNIPAM homopolymer and other relevant PNIPAM-based copolymer counterparts. …”

Revealing joint evolutions and causal interactions in complex ecohydrological systems by a network-based framework by L. Wang, H. Gu, L. Liu, X. Liang, S. Chen, Y.-P. Xu

“…This study develops a novel framework based on network analysis alongside satellite data and in situ observations to delineate the joint evolutions (phenomena) and causal interactions (mechanisms) in complex systems. The former employs correlations, and the latter uses physically constrained causality analysis to construct network relationships. …”

Designing Health Recommender Systems to Promote Health Equity: A Socioecological Perspective by Caroline A Figueroa, Helma Torkamaan, Ananya Bhattacharjee, Hanna Hauptmann, Kathleen W Guan, Gayane Sedrakyan

“…We find that despite the potential for targeting more complex systemic challenges to obtaining good health, current HRS are still focused on individual health behaviors, often do not integrate the lived experiences of users in the design, and have had limited reach and effectiveness for individuals from low socioeconomic status and racial or ethnic minoritized backgrounds. …”
