What's complicated, or at least unknown, is how criticality is created and maintained.

They're researching the dynamics of criticality, where one system transforms rapidly into another.

Just before the pile enters its avalanche-prone state, said Beggs, it's poised at criticality.

This phase is not just about importance; you must also consider urgency or criticality as well.

However, accidental exposure may also occur with a neutron component such as in the Tokai-Mura criticality accident.

Basing on this result, calculation of neutron and photon doses was performed in realistic case of criticality accident.

Depending on their level of criticality, most systems have the same RTO and RPO for each disaster type.

This correlation length grows strongly with cylinder circumference, indicating either quantum criticality or weak plaquette valence bond order.

But now we've suddenly multiplied the connecting links, the networks have all merged together, and we've reached criticality.'

His work suggests criticality could be an optimal evolutionary solution for systems that need to balance resilience with adaptability.

We suggest that such "nodal criticality" may have an impact on low-energy properties of quantum critical superconductors.

And they stressed the absolute criticality of creating the conditions necessary to resume UN-led political talks in coming weeks, Kirby said.

The existence of scaling suggests that the underlying dynamics may display self-organized criticality, possibly representing a near-optimal state for information processing.

If lack of domestic resource is a key determinant of a metal's criticality, the country doesn't appear to have a problem.

It is what economists would term a bubble and physicists would call a "self-organising criticality." Such phenomena are inherently unstable.

No one can predict the point at which a bubble or criticality will break down -either the timing or the price level.
