Adaptation and Resilience of Interdependent Infrastructure Systems: a Complex Systems Perspective
The effects of disruption upon one or more components in interdependent infrastructure systems and the ability of
the system to return to normal operations, is investigated in this paper. This addresses the concept of resilience, and
examines the trade-off between redundancy and efficiency, as well as the adaptive ability of a system to respond to
disruptions and continue to operate, albeit not necessarily as it did initially
A new approach of analyzing GRB light curves
We estimated the Txx quantiles of the cumulative GRB light curves using our
recalculated background. The basic information of the light curves was
extracted by multivariate statistical methods. The possible classes of the
light curves are also briefly discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 8 figure
The Transformation of Hungarian Production Cooperatives and Future Consequences
This research examines the transformation of Hungarian agricultural production cooperatives. In contrast to early expectations, cooperatives did not experience much membership loss. Rather, the enterprises held together, although they downsized. The distribution of collective assets occurred quickly and created much tension. The sector experienced a severe decapitalization, and the efficiency of the sector fell. There was a sharp rise in unemployment. Sales and marketing were disrupted. Thus, the cooperatives transformed in a very hostile situation. They survived, and some prospered, yet, in general, they remain vulnerable to adverse economic developments. Healthy cooperatives will be vital to the success of smaller private farms.Agribusiness,

On Renyi entropies characterizing the shape and the extension of the phase space representation of quantum wave functions in disordered systems
We discuss some properties of the generalized entropies, called Renyi
entropies and their application to the case of continuous distributions. In
particular it is shown that these measures of complexity can be divergent,
however, their differences are free from these divergences thus enabling them
to be good candidates for the description of the extension and the shape of
continuous distributions. We apply this formalism to the projection of wave
functions onto the coherent state basis, i.e. to the Husimi representation. We
also show how the localization properties of the Husimi distribution on average
can be reconstructed from its marginal distributions that are calculated in
position and momentum space in the case when the phase space has no structure,
i.e. no classical limit can be defined. Numerical simulations on a one
dimensional disordered system corroborate our expectations.Comment: 8 pages with 2 embedded eps figures, RevTex4, AmsMath included,
