Elegance as Complexity Reduction in Systems Design by Luca Iandoli, Letizia Piantedosi, Alejandro Salado, Giuseppe Zollo

“…Our results are consistent with independent findings obtained in other fields including design and psychology of perception showing that good design must embed an effective level of complexity achievable through a mix of familiarity and novelty.…”

Induced Interval-Valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Hybrid Aggregation Operators with TOPSIS Order-Inducing Variables by Jun-Ling Zhang, Xiao-Wen Qi

“…The merit of two aggregation operators is that they can consider additional preference information of decision maker’s attitudinal characteristics besides argument-dependent information and argument-independent information. Some desirable properties of I-IIFHA and I-IIFHG are studied and theoretical analysis also shows that they can include a wide range of aggregation operators as special cases. …”

Model of tumour angiogenesis -- analysis of stability with respect to delays by Marek Bodnar, Monika Joanna Piotrowska, Urszula Foryś, Ewa Nizińska

“…These delays reflect time lags in the proliferation/death term and the vessel formation/regression response to stimuli.It occurs that the dynamics strongly depends on the model parameters and the behaviour independent of the delays magnitude as well as multiple stability switches with increasing delay can be obtained.…”

Effect of Ground Motion Orientation on Seismic Responses of an Asymmetric Stress Ribbon Pedestrian Bridge by Yi Zhang, Wuchuan Pu, Qishuo Zhang, Kaiwen Liu, Hua Dong

“…No single orientation led to the most critical values in all response indexes, and the critical orientation was approximately independent of the vertical ground motion. The negative bending moment of the ribbons, the pier top displacement, and the pier base moment at the transverse direction were sensitive to the ground motion orientation. …”
