Efficient physical embedding of topologically complex information processing networks in brains and computer circuits. by Danielle S Bassett, Daniel L Greenfield, Andreas Meyer-Lindenberg, Daniel R Weinberger, Simon W Moore, Edward T Bullmore

“…For each of these fractal modular networks, the dimensionality of the interconnect topology was greater than the 2 or 3 Euclidean dimensions of the space in which it was embedded. This relatively high complexity entailed extra cost in physical wiring: although all networks were economically or cost-efficiently wired they did not strictly minimize wiring costs. …”

A Comparative Study on Prediction of Human Capital Efficiency in Acquisition Using the Neurofuzzy System by Marko Slavković, Goran Pavlović, Aleksandar Jovanović

“…This study aims to identify the relevance of using the results obtained by applying the adaptive neural fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) methodology to make managerial decisions related to acquisitions as a strategic option. The aim of this study is to identify the outcomes of changes in human capital, represented by the human capital efficiency (HCE) indicator, which occurred as a consequence of the acquisition process, and to determine the impact of such changes on operating profit (OP), return on assets (ROAs), and productivity (PRO). …”
