On the representation of gliders in Rule 54 by de Bruijn and cycle diagrams (2008)
Journal Article
Rule 54, in Wolfram’s notation, is one of elementary yet complexly behaving one-dimensional cellular automata. The automaton supports gliders, glider guns and other non-trivial long transients. We show how to characterize gliders in Rule 54 by diagra... Read More about On the representation of gliders in Rule 54 by de Bruijn and cycle diagrams.
Determining a regular language by glider-based structures called phases fi_1 in Rule 110 (2008)
Journal Article
Rule 110 is a complex elementary cellular automaton able of supporting universal computation and complicated collision-based reactions between gliders. We propose a representation for coding initial conditions by means of a finite subset of regular e...

A note about the regular language of Rule 110 and its general machine: the scalar subset diagram (2008)
Journal Article
As it was published in other papers, a regular language can be derived in the elemental cellular automaton (ECA) Rule 110 from a subset of regular expressions produced from its set of gliders. This way, a full description of this subset too is known... Read More about A note about the regular language of Rule 110 and its general machine: the scalar subset diagram.

The CMS experiment at the CERN LHC (2008)
Journal Article
The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector is described. The detector operates at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. It was conceived to study proton-proton (and leadlead)
collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 14 TeV (5.5 TeV nucleon-nucleon)... Read More about The CMS experiment at the CERN LHC.
National and local party election agendas (2008)
Journal Article
In the saliency theory of elections parties are seen as monolithic. Each party emphasises the issues they own to gain electoral advantage. There are no rival agendas generated by different factions within the party or its territorial subdivisions. We... Read More about National and local party election agendas.
Transgenerational epigenetics, or the spectral history of the flesh. A Merleau-Pontian approach to epigenetics (2008)
Journal Article
Recent advances in the field of genetics, more specifically the substantiation of epigenetic inheritance, have expanded our understanding of genetic transmission. We will try to demonstrate here that a Merleau-Pontian approach to some of these recent... Read More about Transgenerational epigenetics, or the spectral history of the flesh.
