Emergent complexity of the cytoskeleton: from single filaments to tissue
Florian Huber,Jörg Schnauß,Susanne Rönicke,Philipp Rauch,Karla Müller,C. Fütterer,Josef A. Käs +6 more
TL;DR: This review aims at introducing the physics of the cytoskeleton ranging from single biopolymer filaments to multicellular organisms, with the focus on the intertwined nature of the different physical scales that give rise to numerous emergent properties by means of self-organization or self-assembly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Public skepticism of psychology: why many people perceive the study of human behavior as unscientific.
TL;DR: It is argued that public skepticism toward psychology may, paradoxically, be one of the field's strongest allies and offer several individual and institutional recommendations for enhancing psychology's image.
Journal ArticleDOI
Construction area (no hard hat required)
TL;DR: The authors argue that a variety of relations widely invoked by philosophers are species of what they call "building relations" and argue that they are conceptually intertwined, articulate what it takes for a relation to count as a building relation, and suggest that it is an open possibility that these relations are all determinates of a common determinable.
Book
Disrupting Dark Networks
TL;DR: The promise and limits of social network analysis are discussed in this article, where the authors present strategies for disrupting dark networks and present a dynamic analysis of dark networks based on topology and structural holes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theses on Biosemiotics: Prolegomena to a Theoretical Biology
TL;DR: The semiotic study of life as presented in this article provides a collectively formulated set of statements on what biology needs to be focused on in order to describe life as a process based on semiosis, or signaction.
