CONTEXT The world of medical education is more complex than ever and there seems to be no end in sight. Complexity science is particularly relevant as medical education embraces a movement towards more authentic curricula focusing on integration, interactive small-group learning, and early and sustained clinical and community experiences. DISCUSSION A medical school as a whole, and the expres...

electrocardiogram (ecg) is one of the most common biological signals which plays a significant role in diagnosis of heart diseases. one of the most important parts of ecg signal processing is interpretation of qrs complex and obtaining its characteristics. r wave is one of the most important sections of this complex which has an essential role in diagnosis of heart rhythm irregularities and als...

The development of complex organisational ecosystems that reflect adaptive systems (CASs) calls for radically different strategic approaches with respect to the case classical, stable hierarchical systems. A need such especially increases in contexts lack cooperation traditions and trust often require an explicit or implicit leadership order encourage maintain development. However, scientific l...

numerical analyses have shown that successful flow simulations and the accuracy of solution noticeably depend on the number of nodes used in computational meshing. a suitable meshing should have the capability of adapting with main flow parameters. because the number of total nodes that can be used in numerical simulation is limited, making such grid for complex flows is almost difficult, if it...

We need, increasingly, to design systems that can support complex behaviours in which users adapt dynamically to the progression of the task or to changing conditions during the interaction. Unfortunately, we lack procedures and methods to build systems for adaptive behaviour. This article proposes an approach that identifies dimensions on which users adapt their behaviour and then determines t...

Language arises from the interaction of three complex adaptive systems — biological evolution, learning, and culture. We focus here on cultural evolution, and present an Iterated Learning Model of the emergence of compositionality, a fundamental structural property of language. Our main result is to show that the poverty of the stimulus available to language learners leads to a pressure for lin...
