abstract：:The fracture of bone is clearly a major health concern, especially for the elderly. Medical therapies to reduce the possibility of bone fracture to date have principally centered on treating the loss in bone mass (bone mineral density) that accompanies aging (i.e., addressing the loss in bone quantity). However, it is...

abstract：:Natural systems cannot be closed to the environment. At the same time there is a necessity for closure in order to build the system. It is this quint-essential tension between openness and closure that drives systems to unfold into further stages or levels of growth and development. In other words, the emergence of or...
