Critical events detection and management in complex networks by Yu, Yi

“…It is shown that the proposed model allows complex system dynamics to emerge and “sustain” rather than always converging into an over-simple steady state which we could seldom, if not never, observe in real life. In our model, similar opinion holders may form into communities yet without strict community consensus; and rather than being separated into disconnected communities, different communities remain to be interconnected by non-trivial proportion of inter-community links, allowing complex dynamics to emerge when there are changes of opinions in a certain portion of population. …”

The importance of understanding individual differences in Down syndrome by Karmiloff-Smith, Annette, Al-Janabi, Tamara, D'Souza, Hana, Groet, Jurgen, Massand, Esha, Mok, Kin, Startin, Carla, Fisher, Elizabeth, Hardy, John, Nizetic, Dean, Tybulewicz, Victor, Strydom, Andre

“…We argue that, in the context of significant increases in DS life expectancy, a focus on individual differences in trisomy 21 at all levels—genetic, cellular, neural, cognitive, behavioral, and environmental—constitutes one of the best approaches for understanding genotype/phenotype relations in DS and for exploring risk and protective factors for Alzheimer’s disease in this high-risk population.…”
