Self-assembly of various building blocks has been considered as a powerful approach to
generate novel materials with tailorable structures and optimal properties. Understanding …

Recently, a new spotlight has been focused on block copolymers, thoroughly studied for
nearly half a century, because of their potential use in numerous nanotechnologies. This …

Self-assembly is the autonomous organization of components into patterns or structures
without human intervention. Self-assembling processes are common throughout nature and …

Emergence is what happens when an interconnected system of relatively simple elements
self-organizes to form more intelligent, more adaptive higher-level behavior. It's a bottom-up …

In this paper, we challenge the universality of three basic assumptions prevalent in
organizational decision support and strategy: assumptions of order, of rational choice, and of …

Elements of Mathematical Ecology provides an introduction to classical and modern
mathematical models, methods, and issues in population ecology. The first part of the book …

Avoiding Attack discusses the diversity of mechanisms by which prey avoid predator attacks
and explores how such defensive mechanisms have evolved through natural selection. It …

Self-assembly is a process in which components, either separate or linked, spontaneously
form ordered aggregates. Self-assembly can occur with components having sizes from the …

Emerging applications based on optical beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM)
will probably require photonic integrated devices and circuits for miniaturization, improved …
