Development in chaos and complexity research.9781604563405 Development in chaos and complexity research. Ed. by Franco F. Orsucci and Nicoletta Sala. Nova Science Publishers 2008 264 pages $69.00 Hardcover QC172 Combining studies on artificial life, cellular automata cellular automata (CA) Simplest model of a spatially distributed process that can be used to simulate various real-world processes. Cellular automata were invented in the 1940s by John von Neumann and Stanislaw Ulam at Los Alamos National Laboratory. , chaos theory chaos theory, in mathematics, physics, and other fields, a set of ideas that attempts to reveal structure in aperiodic, unpredictable dynamic systems such as cloud formation or the fluctuation of biological populations. , cognition, complexity theory, synchronization, fractals, genetic algorithms Genetic algorithms Search procedures based on the mechanics of natural selection and genetics. Such procedures are known also as evolution strategies, evolutionary programming, genetic programming, and evolutionary computation. , information systems, metaphors, neural networks, nonlinear dynamics, and parallel computation, this volume covers applications in both medicine and computer science. Topics therefore include complex bioethics bioethics, in philosophy, a branch of ethics concerned with issues surrounding health care and the biological sciences. These issues include the morality of abortion, euthanasia, in vitro fertilization, and organ transplants (see transplantation, medical). , the detection of transient synchronization in multivariate brain signals, qualification analysis of bipolar disorder bipolar disorder, formerly manic-depressive disorder or manic-depression, severe mental disorder involving manic episodes that are usually accompanied by episodes of depression. , approaches for the analysis of time scales synchronization, noninvasive assessment of risk for severe arrhythmias by means of nonlinear analysis techniques, variable analysis and fractal dimension (mathematics) fractal dimension - A common type of fractal dimension is the Hausdorff-Besicovich Dimension, but there are several different ways of computing fractal dimension. estimation in certain studies of osteoporosis, detection of low dimensional chaos and analysis of small noisy samples sets. Computer science topics include hyperchaotic Rossler system state variables using one observable, parallel implementation of shortest-path problems, fractal geometry in computer graphics and in virtual reality, prospective homebuyers' propensity to buy and the memories of deep lakes in Italy. Most references are current, but the audience is not specified. ([c]20082005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR) |
