In the last two decades there was a lot of progress in understanding the geometry of smooth Gaussian fields. This survey aims to cover one particular line of research: the large scale behaviour of level and excursion sets and their…
We perform a comprehensive survey of the potential energy landscapes of 13-atom Morse clusters, and describe how they can be characterized and visualized. Our aim is to detail how the global features of the funnel-like surface change with…
I present a brief survey of surveys, and their results and implications, intended to set the context for the ensuing discussion.
In order to efficiently explore the chemical space of all possible small molecules, a common approach is to compress the dimension of the system to facilitate downstream machine learning tasks. Towards this end, we present a data driven…
We develop a landscape-flux framework to investigate observed frequency distributions of vegetation and the stability of these ecological systems under fluctuations. The frequency distributions can characterize the population-potential…
Summary and outlook presented at the 9th International Conference on the Structure of Baryons (BARYONS 2002), Jefferson Lab, March 3-8, 2002
This symposium has revealed considerable new progress on nuclei of galaxies over the last three years. In this talk, I will try to point out the advances since the last meeting on exactly the same subject held three years ago at Ringberg…
The global climate has underscored the need for effective policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from all sources, including those resulting from agricultural expansion, which is regulated by the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) across…
The present volume is the written version of the series of lectures the author delivered at the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium during the period of June-July, 1990. The main purpose of these talks is to present some of author's work…
These notes introduce probabilistic landscape models defined on high-dimensional discrete sequence spaces. The models are motivated primarily by fitness landscapes in evolutionary biology, but links to statistical physics and computer…
We congratulate the authors for the interesting paper. The reading has been really pleasant and instructive. We discuss briefly only some of the interesting results given in Devroye and James "On simulation and properties of the stable…
This text is written for the volume of the school/conference "Noncommutative Geometry 2005" held at IPM Tehran. It gives a survey of methods and results in noncommutative geometry, based on a discussion of significant examples of…
We construct the networks of collaboration between partners for projects carried out with the support of European Commission Framework Programs FP5 and FP6. We analyze in detail these networks, not only in terms of total number of projects,…
Advances in networking and computing technologies throughout the early decades of the 21st century have transformed long-standing dreams of pervasive communication and computation into reality. These technologies now form a rapidly evolving…
The current science of cities can provide a useful foundation for future urban policies, provided that these proposals have been validated by correct observations of the diversity of situations in the world. However, international…
BSM landscape of motivated and unmotivated theories is overviewed with an emphasis on new developments guided by naturalness principle.
The concept of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) has emerged to foster sustainable development by transversally addressing social, economic, and environmental urban challenges. However, there is still a considerable lack of agreement on the…
Public lecture given at The Fields Institute, June 2, 2005.
Survey written for the Proceedings of the AMS Meeting on Algebraic Geometry, Seattle, 2005. Based on the talk delivered at this occasion, but a few comments on recent developments are added.
Ancient regional routes were vital for interactions between settlements and deeply influenced the development of past societies and their "complexification". At the same time, since any transportation infrastructure needs some level of…
