Dispersion as a destabilizing mechanism of ecosystems
Nov. 30, 2020
Ecosystems are one of the paradigmatic examples in
complex systems science. A large number of species interact with each other in
various ways, either by feeding upon each other, competing for the same
resource, or even collaborating. But within an ...
On the usefulness of restricting mobility during pandemics
Nov. 30, 2020
Pandemics caused
by infectious diseases hit hardest the big cities with the highest population
density. This density implies a greater number of citizens per area and
therefore a greater number of contacts between citizens. On the other hand,
rural areas ...

Smart Devices to schedule electricity use may prevent blackouts
Nov. 13, 2020
Power plants generate
electricity and send it into power lines that distribute energy to nodes, or
sites, where it can be used. But if the electricity load is more than the
system’s capacity, transmission can fail, leading to a ...
Towards a new concept for energy production, distribution and monitoring for islands
Nov. 9, 2020
Islands energy systems are a particular case
characterized by a high investment, insulation costs, low profitability,
limited connection to energy market, over-dependence on fossil fuels and high
emissions. All these properties make it difficult to move towards a more
sustainable ...
