Bonhoure, Isabelle; Perelló, Josep, 1974- (Fecha de publicación: 2026-01-09)

According to the Spanish State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), the summer of 2025 (June 1-August 31) was exceptionally warm across Spain, with an average temperature of 24.2°C on the mainland. This value is 2.1°C above the ...

Modular architecture confers robustness to damage and facilitates recovery in spikingneural networks modeling in vitro neurons 

Sumi, Takuma; Houben, Akke Mats; Yamamoto, Hideaki; Kato, Hideyuki; Katori, Yuichi; Soriano i Fradera, Jordi; Hirano-Iwata, Ayumi (Fecha de publicación: 2026-01-07)

Impaired brain function is restored following injury through dynamic processes that involve synaptic plasticity. This restoration is supported by the brain’s inherent modular organization, which promotes functional separation ...

Discounting the Distant Future: What Do Historical Bond Prices Imply about the Long-Term Discount Rate? 

Farmer, J. Doyne; Geanakoplos, John; Richiardi, Matteo G.; Montero Matellanes, M. Mikel; Perelló, Josep, 1974-; Masoliver, Jaume, 1951- (Fecha de publicación: 2025-07-14)

We present a thorough empirical study on real interest rates by also including risk aversion through the introduction of the market price of risk. From the viewpoint of complex systems science and its multidisciplinary ...

Multiscale voter model on real networks 

Ortiz Castillo, Elisenda; Serrano Moral, Ma. Ángeles (María Ángeles) (Fecha de publicación: 2024-11-22)

We introduce the Multiscale Voter Model (MVM) to investigate clan influence at multiple scales—family, neighborhood, political party…—in opinion formation on real complex networks. Clans, consisting of similar nodes, are ...
