From neural and social cooperation to the global emergence of cognition

Description: This article elaborates on a discussion of the emergence of intelligence via criticality as a consequence of locality breakdown, by using criticality for the foundation of a novel generation of game theory making the local interaction between players yield long-range effects.

Investigation of Structural and Optical Properties of Ag Nanoclusters Formed in Si(100) After Multiple Implantations of Low Energies Ag Ions and Post-Thermal Annealing at a Temperature Below the Ag-Si Eutectic Point

Description: This paper investigates the synthesis of Ag NCs in Si(100) substrate by implanting multiple energies and fluences of Ag ions and subsequent thermal annealing.

On The Performance of Quasar Reverberation Mapping in the Era of Time-Domain Photometric Surveys

Description: This article quantitatively assesses, by means of comprehensive numerical simulations, the ability of broadband photometric surveys to recover the broad emission line region size in quasars under various observing conditions and for a wide range of object properties.

A Statistical Relation Between the X-ray Spectral Index and Eddington Ratio of Active Galactic Nuclei in Deep Surveys

Description: This article presents an investigation into how well the properties of the accretion flow on to a supermassive black hole may be coupled to those of the overlying hot corona.

Variability-Selected Low-Luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei in the 4 Ms Chandra Deep Field-South

Description: This article demonstrates that the observed variability cannot be explained by X-ray Binary populations or ultraluminous X-ray sources, so the variability is most likely caused by accretion onto a supermassive black hole.

Multiwavelength Observations of Radio-Quiet Quasars with Weak Emission Lines

Description: This article presents radio and X-ray observations, as well as optical light curves, for a subset of 26 BL Lac candidates from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey lacking strong radio emission and with z < 2.2.
