Using the effective complexity measure, proposed by M. Gell-Mann and S. Lloyd, we give a quantitative definition of an emergent property. We use several previous results and properties of this particular information measure ...

Isomaltulose (Palatinose®) is an emerging low glycemic and low insulinemic carbohydrate with several health benefits. Therefore, data about the properties (solubility (IS), density (ρ), specific heat capacity (cp), thermal ...

Because of the complexity of plant responses to water deficit, researchers have attempted to identify simplified models to understand critical aspects of the problem by searching for single indicators that would enable ...

The brain is a complex system that, in the normal condition, has emergent properties like those associated with activity-dependent plasticity in learning and memory, and in pathological situations, manifests abnormal ...

The process of narrowing the stimulus control to a property or to a combination of properties of a stimulus, usually called abstraction, has generated increasingly interest in different conceptual and applied perspectives ...

Dietary carbohydrates constitute a group of chemically defined substances with a range of physical and physiological properties as well as health benefits. Their primary classification is based on chemistry, i.e., the ...

We model the evolution of concepts, i.e. how members of a social group associate properties to concepts. Our Agent Based Model (ABM) is based on Conceptual Agreement Theory (CAT), which states that individuals can only ...
