Talk on Friday Feb 03, 2023 at 12:00 Place: IFISC Seminar Room Title: Spatial memory in rats under non-life-threatening conditions Speaker: Jorge Medina, IFISC Abstract: <pre> The Morris water navigation task, also known as the Morris water maze, is a commonly used behavioral procedure for studying spatial learning and memory in rodents. In this experiment, a rat is placed in a large circular pool and must find an invisible platform to escape the water. However, this situation puts the rats under high stress, which can be perceived as life-threatening by them. Our goal is to evaluate spatial memory formation in a setting closer to the rat&#39;s daily life (a circular arena in the ground) with a softer, more natural reward: switching off the lights when the target is found. Since rats prefer dark environments, it has the potential to motivate rats to complete the task, without causing too much anxiety. Specifically, we measure memory formation within a single day of experimentation (short-term memory) and between two consecutive days (long-term memory), and analyze how these results change when certain drugs are administered to the rats.</pre> Url event:https://ifisc.uib-csic.es/en/events/seminars/spatial-memory-in-rats-under-non-life-threatening/

Talk on Thursday Feb 02, 2023 at 15:00 Place: IFISC Seminar Room Title: Analysing multidimensional inequalities from housing and transport in Madrid Speaker: Jesús A. Moreno López, IFISC Abstract: <pre> The infrastructure of a city can influence inequality on multiple axes. In this work we aim to create a generalizable, open source methodology to analyse inequalities in transport accessibility which, paired with a thorough analysis of building energy efficiency, can lead us to pinpoint urban areas where both heating and transport needs lead to a high economical impact for many households. Real micro-data extracted from mobility questionnaires and cell phone data is used to compute and adjust a multi-agent transport simulation based on utility and cost functions for both travel and destination activities, which provides us with modes, times and fees for each transport demand. This mobility analysis performed on the whole street and public transport network of Madrid is paired with energy efficiency data of housing to give a multidimensional approach to inequality inherent to the spatial distribution and quality of infrastructure in Madrid. </pre> Url event:https://ifisc.uib-csic.es/en/events/seminars/analysing-multidimensional-inequalities-from-housi/

IFISC Seminar on Wednesday Feb 01, 2023 at 14:30 Place: IFISC Seminar Room Title: Beyond simple dynamics: coevolutionary dynamics Speaker: Alessio Cardillo, UOC Abstract: Abstract: For years, simple models have been used successfully to describe a plethora of phenomena taking place in complex systems. For instance, models like the Kuramoto model or the Prisoner&#39;s Dilemma game have been used as paradigms to study the emergence of synchronization and cooperation in populations of elements interacting with each other. Despite the achievements of the reductionist approach, there is a whole set of problems/phenomena that cannot be tackled/understood in terms of a single (simple) type of dynamical process. For instance, the spontaneous adoption of vaccines cannot be fully understood if we model it as a mere response to a cost over benefit analysis. To address more complex phenomena, we need to move beyond simple dynamical processes by intertwining two (or more) of them together using a coevolutionary approach. In this talk, I will present some examples of coevolutionary dynamics models and show how the phenomenology observed combining two dynamical processes together is, quoting Anderson&#39;s famous motto,&nbsp;&quot;more than the sum of its parts&quot; which constitutes one of the hallmarks of complexity.

Talk on Thursday Feb 02, 2023 at 12:00 Place: IFISC Seminar Room Title: Balearic power grid stability in scenarios with large photovoltaic generation Speaker: María Martínez-Barbeito, IFISC (UIB-CSIC) Abstract: The first step in the decarbonization agenda of the Balearic Islands was to close down a coal fired power plant in December 2019. In the upcoming years, the following steps will be to integrate a higher share of solar photovoltaic generation. In this talk, I will analyze the frequency fluctuations and the overall grid stability in such scenarios. I will also analyze the role of the High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) link with mainland Spain in the control requirements needed to ensure grid stability. https://uibuniversitat.zoom.us/j/94682807892 Url event:https://ifisc.uib-csic.es/en/events/seminars/balearic-power-grid-stability-in-scenarios-with-la/

Talk on Friday Feb 03, 2023 at 15:00 Place: IFISC Seminar Room Title: Interacting particle systems with mobility and demographic dynamics as biological models Speaker: Alejandro Almodovar, IFISC Abstract: The behaviour of active matter has been intensively investigated in the last decades partly because of its many applications to living systems. In this work, we add stochastic birth-death dynamics to a system of particles with volume exclusion. This is a simple, but general biological ingredient which has not been studied in detail before. The number of particles in the system at long times depends on the birth and death rates, and on a parameter characterising the activity. We find liquid, solid and hexatic phases in the absence of activity. Which one of these phases is realised depends on the birth and death rates. When self-propulsion &nbsp;is considered, we also observe these phases depending on the activity. we will also analyse what happens when there are two types of particles of different sizes. We will study the conditions to find coexistence. Finally, we will show preliminary results when the rates of birth and death are modified by a voter-like interaction, I.e., the demographic rate of each particle depends on those on the surrounds.

Talk on Friday Jan 27, 2023 at 11:00 Place: IFISC Seminar Room Title: Maximum Lyapunov Exponent for Temporal Networks Speaker: Annalisa Caligiuri, IFISC Abstract: <pre style="text-align:left"> By interpreting a temporal network as a trajectory of a latent graph dynamical system, here we introduce the concept of dynamical instabil- ity of a temporal network, and accordingly derive a measure to estimate the network Maximum Lyapunov Exponent (nMLE) of a temporal net- work trajectory. By building and extending classical algorithmic methods from nonlinear time series analysis into the network realm, we show how to quantify sensitive dependence on initial conditions and practi- cally estimate the nMLE directly from single network trajectories. We validate our method for a range of synthetic generative network models and discuss its applicability in formulating and answering new questions on the chaotic nature of interacting systems in different disciplines. </pre> Url event:https://ifisc.uib-csic.es/en/events/seminars/maximum-lyapunov-exponent-for-temporal-networks/

IFISC Seminar on Wednesday Jan 25, 2023 at 14:30 Place: IFISC Seminar Room Title: Metaplex networks: influence of the exo-endo structure of complex systems on diffusion Speaker: Gissell Estrada, University of Oxford Abstract: In this talk I will introduce the concept of metaplexes and the dynamical systems on them. A metaplex combines the internal structure of the entities of a complex system with the discrete interconnectivity of these entities in a global topology. We focus here on the study of diffusive processes on metaplexes, both model and real-world examples. We provide theoretical and computational evidence pointing out the role of the endo- and exo-structure of the metaplexes in their global dynamics, including the role played by the size of the nodes, the location of sinks and sources, and the strength and range of the coupling between nodes. We show that the internal structure of brain regions (corresponding to the nodes of the network) in the macaque visual cortex metaplex dominates almost completely the global dynamics. On the other hand, in the linear metaplex chain and the landscape metaplex the diffusion dynamics display a combination of the endo- and exo-dynamics, which we ex plain analytically and in numerical results. Metaplexes are expected to facilitate the understanding of complex systems in an integrative way, which combine dynamical processes inside the nodes and between them.
