To clarify the place of time direction (time arrow) in the physics of life, the present article
shows why evolution and irreversibility are two distinct phenomena. The demonstration is …

This paper proposes a systems approach to the theory of perception and learning in
populations composed of many living entities. Starting from a phenomenological description …

The mass entransy and its dissipation extremum principle have opened up a new direction
for the mass transfer optimization. Firstly, the emergence and development process of both …

Background This ecological study aimed i) to quantify the association of age and gender
with the three components of pedestrians' death rates after a pedestrian-vehicle crash …

Fluid flow in tree-shaped networks plays an important role in both natural and engineered
systems. This paper focuses on laminar flows of Newtonian and non-Newtonian power law …

Under the background of Covid-19 sweeping the world, safe and reasonable passenger
flow management strategy in subway stations is an effective means to prevent the spread of …

This paper aims to contribute to the ongoing research on tree-shaped flow structures. Here,
we focuses on porous-walled tree-shaped networks, namely the laminar fluid flow. Analytical …

Balance strategies range from continuous postural adjustments to discrete changes in
contacts: their simultaneous execution is required to maintain postural stability while …

Pedestrians are currently attracting the interest of various researchers and practitioners,
particularly urban and transport planners. Analysis of the pedestrian behavior, environment …

Abstract The SA (Simulated Annealing) is a meta-heuristic to combinatorial and optimization
problems. The main purpose here is to investigate several cooling schedules (main …
