Analysing human societies as complex systems can provide an insight into historical processes and the strengths and weaknesses of capitalism. Analysing human societies as complex systems can provide ...

Many years ago, when supply chain management was simply called logistics, the mode of management was paper reports, faxes and telephones. Computers, particularly PCs, followed. They were so-called ...

An international team of researchers shows through a concrete theoretical experiment that the prediction by standard complex quantum theory cannot be expressed by its real counterpart and ratifies its ...

Selection in Assembly Space. (A) Pictorial representation of the assembly space represents the formation of combinatorial object space from building blocks and physical constraints. (B) Observed copy ...

Physicists know about the huge chasm between quantum physics and the theory of gravity. However, in recent decades, theoretical physics has provided some plausible conjecture to bridge this gap and to ...

Studies show dogs experience REM sleep similar to humans, with brain activity suggesting they replay familiar experiences. Evidence from brain monitoring indicates many dogs dream about their owners, ...

The field of complex geometry, intertwined with Lie theory, represents a vibrant area where algebraic and differential techniques converge to unravel the structure of complex manifolds and their ...

Stellenbosch University provides funding as a partner of The Conversation AFRICA. Universities are complex, dynamic organisations which must adapt in ways that aren’t always planned or predicted. For ...

Physicists construct theories to describe nature. Let us explain it through an analogy with something that we can do in our everyday life, like going on a hike in the mountains. To avoid getting lost, ...
