The cluster expansion enables fast alloy property computations especially useful for predicting alloy thermodynamics. It expands configurational alloy properties in basis functions called clusters with associated expansion coefficients called effective cluster interactions (ECI). The number of ECI depends on the symmetries of the system. Therefore, when applied to non-bulk low-symmetry systems,...

This study explores the formation of economic complexity within a city from Global South, during 2011–2019. It proposes an expanded interpretation Economic Complexity Index (ECI) to be applied at intra-urban context Belo Horizonte, Brazil, focusing on three different spatial levels analysis (i.e., local, neighbourhood, and community levels). By applying index these levels, instead regional or n...

Abstract By simulating a multi-country general equilibrium international trade model, we investigate how the Economic Complexity Index (ECI) and Fitness (FI) are related directly to economic fundamentals with clear basis in theory. The model is based on Eaton Kortum (2002) combines factor endowment (Heckscher–Ohlin) technological (Ricardian) reasons for specialization, which further determines ...

BACKGROUND The European Society of Cardiology/American College of Cardiology Committee for the Redefinition of Myocardial Infarction (MI) has recommended that an increased cardiac troponin should be defined as a measurement above the 99th percentile value of the reference group. A total imprecision (CV) at the decision limit of </=10% is recommended. However, peer-reviewed data on assay impreci...
