SUBLINEAR SCALING. “It means a city with a large population needs only ~80% as many roads, power lines, and gas stations per person as a city half its size. The second, “superlinear scaling,” applies to outputs of socioeconomic activity. It means a large city produces ~120% more wealth, patents, crime, pollution, and disease per person than a city half its size.” https://www.santafe.edu/news-center/news/researchers-reveal-cloud-geometry-behind-city-scaling View in LinkedIn

METABOLIC PATHWAYS. “Centrally located within this network are the sugar phosphate reactions of glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway. Together with the overlapping reactions of the Entner–Doudoroff pathway and of the Calvin cycle, they provide the precursor metabolites required for the synthesis of RNA, DNA, lipids, energy and redox coenzymes and amino acids—key molecules required for life.” https://www.embopress.org/doi/full/10.1002/msb.20145351 View in LinkedIn
