This paper describes a method for getting a synthesis of the knowledge about a given system, assuming that a data set x of measurements of a variable Ξ is known: i.e., separate data are combined in order to form a coherent whole, à la thermodynamics. For getting the macroscopic...

We investigate the unfolding pathway of a cytosine-rich DNA structure via molecular dynamics simulations. By the study of the essential dynamics, we are able to identify a hidden complexity in the description of the dynamics in terms of the first two eigenvectors which are used as collective...

Studying the function call graphs in complex software can provide significant insights into the software evolution process. We found node in- and out-degree distributions asymmetric in the call graphs of 223 versions of Linux kernel modules (V1.1.0 to V2.4.35). Nodes newly introduced in these...

The magnetic systems with disorder form an important class of systems, which are under intensive studies, since they reflect real systems. Such a class of systems is the spin glass one, which combines randomness and frustration. The Sherrington–Kirkpatrick Ising spin glass with random...

Single-file diffusion is a theoretically challenging many-body problem where the calculation of even the simplest observables, e.g. mean square displacement, for a tracer particle requires an elaborate mathematical machinery. There is therefore a need for simple approaches which provide...

We study transmission through locally periodic potentials in the framework of space-fractional quantum mechanics (SFQM). In particular, we calculate the transmission probabilities T(N) for a particle in a chain of N Dirac-δ barriers and, for the other case, a chain of N square barriers. We use...

We propose an analytically tractable variation of the minority game in which rational agents use probabilistic strategies. In our model, N agents choose between two alternatives repeatedly, and those who are in the minority get a pay-off 1, others zero. The agents optimize the expectation value...

The hopping model for cargo transport by molecular motors introduced in Goldman and Sena (2009), Goldman (2010) is extended here in order to incorporate the movement of cargo–motor complexes (C–MC). Hopping processes in this context express the possibility for cargo to be exchanged between...

By analyzing the synthetic seismicity generated by a simple spring–block system with asperities, the probability distribution of its order parameter is investigated. The spring–block system mimics the interaction between tectonic plates, whose asperities are given by sandpapers of different...

In this paper we analyse the importance of sectors and market efficiency on developed and emerging financial markets. To perform this we analyse New York Stock Exchange between 2004 and 2013 and Warsaw Stock Exchange between 2000 and 2013. To find out the importance of sectors we construct...
