A dynamical analogy supported by five scale-free statistics (the Gutenberg-Richter
distribution of event sizes, the distribution of interevent intervals, the Omori and inverse …

Integrating the studies of epilepsy, neurosciences, computational neurosciences,
mathematics, physics, engineering, and medicine, this volume provides the first means to a …

BIM standard development is central to the performance and behavior of BIM model
application across transmission, visualization, and information management perspectives …

This book presents a select group of papers that provide a comprehensive view of the
models and applications of chaos theory in medicine, biology, ecology, economy …

This chapter first presents a rather personal view of some different aspects of predictability,
going in crescendo from simple linear systems to high-dimensional nonlinear systems with …

An important question in geophysics is whether earthquakes (EQs) can be anticipated prior
to their occurrence. Pre-seismic electromagnetic (EM) emissions provide a promising …

Theoretical studies suggest that the final earthquake (EQ) and neural-seizure dynamics
should have many similar features and could be analyzed within similar mathematical …

One of the major obstacles in using neural networks to solve combinatorial optimization
problems is the convergence toward one of the many local minima instead of the global …

Conspicuous grain scale deformation is observed in some ultra-high-pressure (UHP)
metamorphic rocks of the Dora Maira Massif, Western Alps, although no significant strain is …

Although there is an accumulated charge of theoretical, computational, and numerical work,
like catastrophe theory, bifurcation theory, stochastic and deterministic chaos theory, there is …
