    L’impacte del canvi climàtic a la regió llatinoamericana s’ha fet evident, afectant els recursos naturals i retardant el desenvolupament sostenible. Per als països d’aquesta regió, assolir l’objectiu de temperatura a llarg ...

  • Neuronal coupling benefits the encoding of weak periodic signals in symbolic spike patterns 

    Masoliver Vila, Maria; Masoller Alonso, Cristina (2020-03-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    The biophysical mechanisms by which an input signal elicits a neuronal response are well known (sufficiently large inputs change the membrane potential of the neuron and generate electrical pulses, known as action potentials ...

  • Inferring the connectivity of coupled chaotic oscillators using Kalman filtering 

    Forero Ortiz, Edwar Andres; Tirabassi, Giulio; Masoller Alonso, Cristina; Pons Rivero, Antonio Javier (Nature, 2021-11-17)
    Article
    Open Access
    Inferring the interactions between coupled oscillators is a significant open problem in complexity science, with multiple interdisciplinary applications. While the Kalman filter (KF) technique is a well-known tool, widely ...

  • Unravelling the molecular interactions between the SARS-CoV-2 RBD spike protein and various specific monoclonal antibodies 

    Martí Ballesté, Dídac; Alsina Cowie, Marc; Alemán Llansó, Carlos; Bertran Cànovas, Òscar; Turon, Pau; Torras Costa, Juan (2022-02)
    Article

    Vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 just started in most of the countries. However, the development of specific vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 is not the only approach to control the virus and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) start ...

  • Coordination and growth: the Stag Hunt game on evolutionary networks 

    Starnini, Michele; Poncela, Julia; moreno, yamir; sanchez, angel (Institute of Physics (IOP), 2011-05-06)
    Article
    Open Access
    Recently, the study of evolutionary games on networks has attracted great interest, focused mainly on the problem of the emergence of cooperation. A well studied framework for this problem is the Prisoner’s Dilemma game ...

  • The interconnected wealth of nations: Shock propagation on global trade-investment multiplex networks 

    Starnini, Michele; Boguña Espinal, Marian; Serrano, M.Angels (Nature, 2019-09-11)
    Article
    Open Access
    The increasing integration of world economies, which organize in complex multilayer networks of interactions, is one of the critical factors for the global propagation of economic crises. We adopt the network science ...

  • The origin and maintenance of tuberculosis is explained by the induction of smear-negative disease in the paleolithic 

    Cardona, Pere-Joan; Català Sabaté, Martí; Prats Soler, Clara (2022-03-17)
    Article
    Open Access
    Is it possible that the origin of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection was around 70,000 years before the common era? At that time Homo sapiens was just another primate species with discrete growth and a very low-density ...

  • Collective Response to Media Coverage of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Reddit and Wikipedia: Mixed-Methods Analysis
