Polyoxomolybdates with emergent properties
… variety and a multitude of interesting properties. The present thesis is dealing with self-assembly processes of polyoxomolybdates but also with performing well-defined reactions at well-defined sites of the structurally well-defined but very complex metal oxide-based nanoobjects.

Emergent properties of heterogeneous decomposition networks
Organic matter respiration in natural ecosystems is controlled by a network of biologically, physically, and chemically driven processes. Often it is important to estimate total carbon flux from a degradation system or the decay of mass in the system as a function of time. Historically, mass …

Beyond the Folds: Emergent Properties in Paper
In this body of work I explore the relationship between visual art, information science, and the geometry of paper in an attempt to create a unique visual language with which I make records; not unlike writing in a journal. Using cyanotype, origami, drawing, and digital techniques I co-opt the …

Emergent properties of misfit layer compounds from first principles.
… synthesis, making the design of misfits’ emergent properties hindered by a lack of a global picture. Our work offers an original perspective by deriving misfits’ properties from those of their constituent layers. We identify the fundamental mechanism governing charge transfer and …

Design principles of mammalian signaling networks : emergent properties at modular and global scales
… condition. Our studies identify regulatory properties of scaffold proteins that allow them to both amplify and attenuate incoming signals in different biological contexts. In a further, supplementary study, simulations also indicate that a major effect that scaffolds exert on the dynamics of …

The role of criticality of gene regulatory networks on emergent properties of biological systems
… relationship between the criticality of GRNs and properties of multicellular organisms at a higher level has not been fully explored. Here we aim at revealing potential roles of the criticality of GRNs at a multicellular and hierarchical level, using a random Boolean network as a GRN. We perform …

A Model for Set-Based Design at the System-of-Systems Scale with Approaches for Emergent Properties
… however, flexibility is often treated as an emergent property. This research reveals a case study of an instantiation intersecting these principles in the design of a naval vessel. It uses an action research approach to develop and execute an SBD process at a large scale that integrates …

Exploring Trade-offs and Emergent Properties of Heterogeneous Swarms of Maritime Robot Systems through Empirical Analysis and Application-Driven Experiments
Multi-agent systems present a promising approach to addressing challenges such as searching for and tracking moving targets, offering advantages like robustness and scalability over single-agent solutions. Current maritime searching and tracking strategies typically involve employing predetermined …

Data-driven analyses of watersheds as coupled human-nature systems
… requires an improved understanding of the emergent properties of coupled human and natural systems and fully integrated land and water management. The primary goal of this research is to better understand the emergent properties of watersheds as coupled human-nature systems, namely …

A Systems-Theoretic Framework For Safety-Driven Development of System Architectures
… systems are increasingly expected to exhibit emergent properties such as safety and security even as they become more complex, interconnected, and reliant on software than ever before. Because of this evolution in the characteristics of these systems, the methods available today for developing …

Design and application of convergent cellular automata
… interacting elements may display unanticipated emergent properties. A system for which the desired properties are the same as those which emerge will be inherently robust. Currently available techniques for designing emergent properties are prohibitively costly for all but the simplest systems. …

Leveraging Microtechnology to Study Multicellular Microvascular Systems and Macromolecular Interaction

Chemical Spin Patterning in Metal-Organic Frameworks
Emergent phenomena are ubiquitous and fundamental to life as we know it, serving as vital environmental regulators, such as the production of honey by honeybees. These phenomena occur when individual components of a system interact, generating new collective behaviors. In magnets, interactions …

IL(aleph): A unified approach to integrated learning
… presented here views these techniques as emergent properties of a local associative learning rule operating within a neural network architecture. This architecture consists of an input layer, a layer buffering this input, but subject to descending influence from higher order units in the …

The interplay between structure and agency: How academic development programme students 'make their way' through their undergraduate studies in engineering
… interactions between their respective emergent properties. It posits that structure and culture predate the actions of agents who transform it. As such, structural and cultural emergent properties condition the situations in which agents find themselves. Furthermore, agents' personal …

A systemic approach toward scalable, reliable and safe satellite constellations
… a qualitative assessment and a comparison of the emergent properties were performed. The results suggest that increased automation improves the scalability of the system, mostly when human controllers' responsibilities are shifted from individual satellite management to constellation management. …

Population and evolutionary dynamics during microbial range expansions
… models in theoretical ecology explain many emergent properties of range expansions, such as a constant expansion velocity, in terms of organism-level properties such as growth and dispersal rates. Moreover, the evolution and potentially even the survival of an expanding population depends on …
