This book describes how epigenetic context, in a large sense, affects gene expression and
the development of an organism, using the asymptotic limit theorems of information theory to …

Featured Application The understanding of the connection between information and life
could be proven crucial in our understanding of the brain and how it functions. Information …

A growing body of work suggests an important unifying perspective in the study of stochastic
resonance: Examining the" prehistory probability density" of the ensemble of pathways by …

We argue that mesoscale ecosystem resilience shifts akin to sudden phase transitions in
physical systems can entrain similarly punctuated events of gene expression on more rapid …

Quantification of the relationship between community-level chronic stress from
neighborhood conditions and individual morale has rarely been reported. In this work …

We extend recent information-theoretic phase transition approaches to evolutionary and
cognitive process via the Rate Distortion and Joint Asymptotic Equipartition Theorems, in the …

Networks of small worlds and Red Queen dynamic structures as analytic-descriptive
methods are ubiquitous in expanding areas of research in the cognitive neurosciences …

'Racial'disparities among cancers, particularly of the breast and prostate, are something of a
mystery. For the US, in the face of slavery and its sequelae, centuries of interbreeding has …
