The facts observed and recorded by others assisted me to advance so far on the trodden path that I made an effort to snatch a secret from Nature. What I succeeded in obtaining, though small, induced me to set forth in the following pages the perhaps not unimportant results. The labor was long, and...

Energy Transmission and Synchronization in Complex Networks
Mathematical Principles
Language: English
Release Date: August 20, 2015
This work tackles the problems of understanding how energy is transmitted and distributed in power-grids as well as in determining how robust this transmission and distribution is when modifications to the grid or power occur. The most important outcome is the derivation of explicit relationships...
Analysis and Control of Complex Dynamical Systems
Robust Bifurcation, Dynamic Attractors, and Network Complexity
Language: English
Release Date: March 20, 2015
This book is the first to report on theoretical breakthroughs on control of complex dynamical systems developed by collaborative researchers in the two fields of dynamical systems theory and control theory. As well, its basic point of view is of three kinds of complexity: bifurcation phenomena subject...
Mechanisms in World and Mind
Perspective Dualism, Systems Theory, Neuroscience, Reductive Physicalism
Language: English
Release Date: August 19, 2014
The topic of the reduction of mental processes to biophysical mechanisms touches at the core of the mindbody problem, a puzzle in the philosophy of mind since the days of Descartes. This book is about philosophical aspects of neuroscience, centred on perspective dualism. The topic unfolds in the discussion...
Systems Thinking For Social Change
A Practical Guide to Solving Complex Problems, Avoiding Unintended Consequences, and Achieving Lasting Results
Language: English
Release Date: September 24, 2015
Donors, leaders of nonprofits, and public policy makers usually have the best of intentions to serve society and improve social conditions. But often their solutions fall far short of what they want to accomplish and what is truly needed. Moreover, the answers they propose and fund often produce the...
