Statistical mechanics is our tool for deriving the laws that emerge from complex systems.
Sethna's text distills the subject to be accessible to those in all realms of science and …

Networks of interacting binary variables, ie boolean networks, constitute such canonical
complex dynamical system. They allow the formulation and investigation of important …

Disease is a social issue, not just a medical issue. Using examples of specific legends and
rumors, The Kiss of Death explores the beliefs and practices that permeate notions of …

Adding the notion of spatial locality to the susceptible-infected-recovered (or SIR) model,
allows to capture local saturation of an epidemic. The resulting minimum model of an …

The susceptible-infected (SI) and susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) models provide two
distinct representations of epidemic evolution, distinguished by whether or not the number of …

The economy is based on sectoral myths, some of which are inspired by foundational
science fiction stories. Technotypes are imaginary archetypes of technologies behind the …

This study aims to examine the considerations in Physics education in the era of the fourth
industrial revolution, which will lead to rapid changes. This study addresses the lack of …

In this work we introduce a general model to analyse any type of propagation system,
whether it represents the spread of a fire, fake news, a virus, etc. We study the computational …

Human rabies disease is caused by Rabies Lyssavirus, a virus belonging to Rhabdoviridae
family. The more frequent means of contagion is through bites of infected mammals …

This study introduces a simulated active matter system, applying the pedestrian collision
avoidance paradigm, which involves dynamically adjusting the desired velocity. We present …
