On the Stellar Disk Vertical Scale Height of Edge-on Galaxies from S4G by Notahiana Ranaivoharimina, T. Randriamampandry, Jing Wang, K. Menéndez-Delmestre, T. S. Gonçalves

“…We measure the stellar disk scale height of 46 edge-on spiral galaxies from the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S ^4 G) project. This paper aims to investigate the radial variation of the stellar disk vertical scale height and the existence of the so-called thick disk component in our sample. …”

Information Characteristics, Processes, and Mechanisms of Self-Organization Evolution by Kun Wu, Qiong Nan

“…The convergence process of forming system elements is the initial exploration of forming a new information model; the nucleation process of some initial stabilization modes is the creation of information codons; the development of the system according to a particular pattern is ergodic construction of information feedback chain indicated by information codon; the diffusion of system self-replication is the expansion of the quantity of the information model; the variation in system self-replication is the innovation process of introducing new information pattern; environment-based selection and evolution correspond to the complex development of information pattern; and the alternation of old and new structures in system evolution corresponds to the formation process of the whole information network framework of the new system. …”
