The transition from constraint to regulation at the origin of life.

TL;DR: This work describes a molecular model system consisting of coupled reciprocal catalysis and self-assembly in which one of the catalytic bi-products tends to spontaneously self-assemble into a containing shell (analogous to a viral capsule).
Journal ArticleDOI

Gaps and New Ideas in our Understanding of Nonequilibrium

TL;DR: In this article, a new idealization of nonequilibrium systems has been introduced, which describes natural steady states by SRB measures and leads to testable predictions, which are discussed.
Book ChapterDOI

Diffusion-Controlled Release

TL;DR: In this article, the principal devices utilizing this phenomenon are of the reservoir and monolithic types, where the active agent is contained within the rate-controlling membrane, while in a monolithic device, the active agents are homogeneously dissolved or dispersed throughout the polymer matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermo-diffusional radon waves in soils

TL;DR: The radon mass transfer equation in soil for sinusoidal temperature oscillations at the soil-atmosphere boundary is solved, which reveals that radon concentration behaves as a damped harmonic wave.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Coevolutionary dynamics and agent-based models in organization science

TL;DR: An overview of the literature for each element of the preceding logical progression is provided and a discussion of the applications of agent-based models to instantiate coevolutionary dynamics is discussed.
