TL;DR: Flux-balance analysis is used to thoroughly assess the activity of Escherichia coli, Helicobacter pylori, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolism in 30,000 diverse simulated environments and finds that most current antibiotics interfering with bacterial metabolism target the core enzymes.

TL;DR: In this article, a reinforced Poisson process is used to model explicitly the process through which individual items gain their popularity, and a generative probabilistic framework is proposed to predict the popularity dynamics of individual items within a complex evolving system.

TL;DR: In this article, a model that describes the diffusion-controlled aggregation exhibited by particles as they are deposited on a surface is proposed, which incorporates deposition, particle and cluster diffusion, and aggregation, inspired by recent thin-film-deposition experiments.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the first systematic comparative mathematical analysis of the metabolic networks of 43 organisms representing all three domains of life and show that, despite significant variances in their individual constituents and pathways, these metabolic networks display the same topologic scaling properties demonstrating striking similarities to the inherent organization of complex non-biological systems.

TL;DR: Recent advances in the characterization of complex networks are reviewed, focusing the emergence of the scale-free and the hierarchical architecture and the impact of the network topology on the ability to stop the spread of viruses in complex networks.
