New quantified observables of complexity are identified and utilized to study sequences (time series) recorded during the spontaneous activity of different size cultured networks. The sequence is mapped into a tiled time-frequency domain that maximizes the information about local time-frequency resolutions. The sequence regularity is associated with the domain homogeneity and its complexity with its local and global variations. Shuffling the recorded sequence lowers its complexity down to artificially constructed ones. The new observables are utilized to identify self-regulation motifs in observed complex network activity.

Freshmen often encounter significant challenges in adapting to the complexity of university-level mathematics and independent learning. These challenges necessitate the development of strong self-regulated learning (SRL) skills to successfully navigate the demands of higher education. Building on mindset theory, this study explores how mathematical mindset-oriented interventions can support freshmen's mathematics learning during their transition to higher education mathematics, particularly in an online setting.

One of the most important goals of contemporary biology is to understand the principles of the molecular order underlying the complex dynamic architecture of cells. Here, we present an overview of the main driving forces involved in the cellular molecular complexity and in the emergent functional dynamic structures, spanning from the most basic molecular organization levels to the complex emergent integrative systemic behaviors. First, we address the molecular information processing which is essential in many complex fundamental mechanisms such as the epigenetic memory, alternative splicing, regulation of transcriptional system, and the adequate self-regulatory adaptation to the extracellular environment.

Background/objectives: Basic psychological needs are essential for fostering motivation, self-regulated behaviors, and overall well-being. For cancer survivors, fulfilling these needs is crucial for coping with the various challenges of survivorship and for enhancing psychosocial health. This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Korean version of the Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction and Frustration Scale (K-BPNSFS) in a cancer survivor population.

The proliferation of tumors is not merely self-regulated by the cancer cells but is also intrinsically connected to the tumor microenvironment (TME). Within this complex TME, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are pivotal in the modulation of tumor onset and progression. Rich signaling interactions exist between CAFs and tumor cells, which are crucial for tumor regulation.

Living Porous Ceramics for Bacteria-Regulated Gas Sensing and Carbon Capture.

Complex Materials, Department of Materials, ETH Zürich, Zürich, 8093, Switzerland.

Microorganisms hosted in abiotic structures have led to engineered living materials that can grow, sense, and adapt in ways that mimic biological systems. Although porous structures should favor colonization by microorganisms, they have not yet been exploited as abiotic scaffolds for the development of living materials. Here, porous ceramics are reported that are colonized by bacteria to form an engineered living material with self-regulated and genetically programmable carbon capture and gas-sensing functionalities.
