EU's éToile curriculum features IPL Complex Systems papers

The Enhanced Technology for Open Intelligent Learning Environments (éToile) Platform of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Commission under the FP7 Coordination Action features research works from the Complexity Science Group of the Instrumentation Physics Laboratory (IPL) as part of the recommended resources for Master and PhD students in Complexity Science domains.

The recommended papers fall under several topics under the main curriculum.

1.2.1 The cascade paradigm

• • M. Arciaga, M. Pastor, R. Batac, J. Bantang and C. Monterola, Experimental observation and empirical model of enhanced heap stability resulting from mixing of granular materials, Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, P07040, pp. 1-16 (2009).

  • Rene C. Batac, Holger Kantz, "Spatiotemporal clustering and separation in regional earthquakes," preprint, http://arxiv.org/abs/1307.1609 (2013).

  • R. Batac, M. Pastor, M. Arciaga, J. Bantang and C. Monterola, Kinks, logarithmic tails, and super stability in bi-disperse granular media, Physica A 388, Issues 15-16, pp. 3072-3082 (2009).

2.1.2 Damage and fracture of heterogeneous materials

• • G. Esleta and C. Monterola, Effect of memory and reinforcement on the propagation and morphology of fracture in a two-dimensional mass-spring system, International Journal of Modern Physics C 20, Issue 7, pp. 1049-1062 (2009).

  • GA Esleta and C. Monterola, Structural reinforcement in a spring-block model of stress-induced fracture propagation, Computer Physics Communications 178, 635 (2008).

2.2.1 Fluctuations and noise in biological systems

• • J. Pang, C. Monterola, and J. Bantang, Noise-induced synchronization in a lattice Hodgkin-Huxley neural network, Physica A 393, pp. 638–645 (2014).

2.9.3 Geoscience, Environment, Policy

• • R Batac, A Longjas and C Monterola, Statistical distributions of avalanche size and waiting times in an inter-sandpile cascade model, Physica A 391, Issue 3, pp. 616–624 (2012).
