Synthesis of innovation and obsolescence
Edward D. Lee, Christopher P. Kempes, Manfred D. Laubichler +14
Innovation and obsolescence describe the dynamics of ever-churning social and biological systems, from the development of economic markets to scientific and technological progress…
The impact of strong activity disruption on building energetics
Yu-Hsuan Hsu, Sara Beery, Christopher P. Kempes +2
Evidence shows that biological organisms tend to be more energetically efficient per unit size. These scaling patterns observed in biological organisms have also been observed in t…
Toward a general theory for the universality and scaling in critical thermal responses in biology
Jose Ignacio Arroyo, Pablo A. Marquet, Christopher P. Kempes +1
We developed a theory showing that under appropriate normalizations and rescalings, temperature response curves show a remarkably regular behavior and follow a general, universal l…
Bioenergetic trophic trade-offs determine mass-dependent extinction thresholds across the Cenozoic
Justin D. Yeakel, Matthew C. Hutchinson, Christopher P. Kempes +3
Body size drives the energetic demands of organisms, constraining trophic interactions between species and playing a significant role in shaping the feasibility of species' populat…
How much regulation do we need from genomes to society?
Vicky Chuqiao Yang, Christopher P. Kempes, S. Redner +3
Regulatory functions are essential in both socioeconomic and biological systems, from corporate managers to regulatory genes. Regulatory functions come with substantial costs and b…
Work extraction with feedback control using limited resources
Harrison Hartle, David Wolpert, Andrew Stier +2
Many physical, biological, and even social systems are faced with the problem of how to efficiently harvest free energy from an environment that can have many possible states, yet…
