Self-organized criticality (SOC) is a property of dynamical systems that have a critical point as an attractor.Their macroscopic behavior thus displays the spatial or temporal scale-invariance characteristic of the critical point of a phase transition, but without the need to tune control parameters to a precise value, because the system, effectively, tunes itself as it evolves towards ...
Mathematical Bridge, or officially Wooden Bridge, is an arch bridge in Cambridge, United Kingdom.The arrangement of timbers is a series of tangents that describe the arc of the bridge, with radial members to tie the tangents together and triangulate the structure, making it rigid and self-supporting.

The FDA said the warnings were justified by the U.S. government's interest in promoting greater understanding of the health risks from smoking, and reducing confusion and deception.
Separately, game theory has played a role in online algorithms; in particular, the k-server problem, which has in the past been referred to as games with moving costs and request-answer games. [124] Yao's principle is a game-theoretic technique for proving lower bounds on the computational complexity of randomized algorithms , especially online ...
