Fractals and Chaos in Geology and Geophysics

The fundamental concepts of fractal geometry and chaotic dynamics, along with the related concepts of multifractals, self-similar time series, wavelets, and self-organised criticality, are introduced in this book, for a broad range of reade...

Maximum-entropy large-scale structures of Boolean networks optimized for criticality

We construct statistical ensembles of modular Boolean networks that are constrained to lie at the critical line between frozen and chaotic dynamic regimes. The ensembles are maximally random given the imposed constraints, and thus represent...

Flood Response System—A Case Study

Flood Response System (FRS) is a network-enabled solution developed using open-source software. The system has query based flood damage assessment modules with outputs in the form of spatial maps and statistical databases. FRS effectively f...

Nuclear engineering workforce in the United States

Nuclear engineers commonly work in the disciplines of NE, nuclear security, and nuclear criticality safety, as defined later.NE has significant overlap with health physics and medical physics (described in Chapters 2 and 3, respectively) an...

An Integral Model to Provide Reactive and Proactive Services in an Academic CSIRT Based on Business Intelligence

Cyber-attacks have increased in severity and complexity. That requires, that the CERT/CSIRT research and develops new security tools. Therefore, our study focuses on the design of an integral model based on Business Intelligence (BI), which...

Self-Organized Criticality of Rainfall in Central China

Rainfall is a complexity dynamics process. In this paper, our objective is to find the evidence of self-organized criticality (SOC) for rain datasets in China by employing the theory and method of SOC. For this reason, we analyzed the long-...

Global quantum correlations in finite-size spin chains

We perform an extensive study of the properties of global quantum correlations in finite-size one-dimensional quantum spin models at finite temperature. By adopting a recently proposed measure for global quantum correlations (Rulli and Sara...

Dissipation Alters Modes of Information Encoding in Small Quantum Reservoirs near Criticality

Quantum reservoir computing (QRC) has emerged as a promising paradigm for harnessing near-term quantum devices to tackle temporal machine learning tasks. Yet, identifying the mechanisms that underlie enhanced performance remains challenging...

Artificial Intelligence Safety and Cybersecurity: a Timeline of AI Failures

In this work, we present and analyze reported failures of artificially intelligent systems and extrapolate our analysis to future AIs. We suggest that both the frequency and the seriousness of future AI failures will steadily increase. AI S...

Defining and measuring proximity to criticality based on univariate time series.
