- Paper Chaos: (n) A state of utter confusion or disorder; a total lack of organization or order. This explanation of a five letter word does not even begin to describe the situation that a group of British school boy experienced on an uninhibited island. They soon learn not long after landing on the island‚ that evil has a way of moving in for the kill‚ even if not visible. Evil exists within everyone and in the absence of rules; this evil side can take over‚ resulting in chaos. In the story

Advanced strategic thinking; how to apply chaos and complexity theories in strategy? In order to answer this question‚ an explanation of the terms ‘strategy’‚ ‘chaos theory’ and ‘complexity theory’ is needed. Strategy One of the best definitions of strategy is provided in Ghemawat’s book "Strategy and the Business Landscape" is a quote from Alfred D. Chandler‚ Jr: “Strategy can be defined as the determination of the basic long-term goals and objectives of an enterprise‚ and the adoption of

Complexity Theory as Applied to Nursing‚ 2005 Abstract Many conventional ideas about the world we live in have been shaken to their foundations by the emerging concepts of chaos and complexity. Insights are now being gained from the application of complexity theory into phenomena varying in scale from the natural sciences such as biology to the concept of caring in the nurse-patient relationship. These new scientific ideas have significant implications for the theory and practice of nursing

Newton discovered the law of the gravitation in the 18th century‚ he realized that there was a force that was responsible for this‚ and for the other movements in the universe‚ like the force that holds the moon in her orbit. ( Newton‚ Determinism and Chaos‚ pg 1) In this regard it was then considered that there were fixed physical laws which allow the future to be predicted. In his article “Law and Disorder” R.C.L state that the 18th century scientists viewed the universe as a “gigantic clock” where

The Butterfly Effect “The Butterfly Fly Effect is a term used in chaos theory to describe how small changes to a seemingly unrelated thing or condition can affect large complex systems.” (Ellis). It is the theory that everything matters. The name comes from the flapping of a butterfly’s wings in Africa could affect the weather in Texas. The smallest influence on one part can have a giant effect of another. Unless all of the factors can be accounted for in a system‚ it remains impossible to predict

not efficient in terms of being time cosuming. In this article‚ a new method is proposed to encrypt digital images‚ using chos systems and utilizing DNA patterns. A central idea in the method suggested is to produce a pseudo-random DNA strand using chaos functions‚ which an encrypted strand is created‚ using the random strand and the strand produced from the main image. Also‚ in the method‚ multiple tables are used; in the article how to create and use these tables are addressed. One of benefits of

Chaos sequences are created by chaotic mapping which are random sequences. These structures are too complex and difficult to analyze and predict [4-8]. Considering these features‚ many encryption algorithms based on chaos have been investigated and studied extensively [9-14]. In [9] a new image encryption algorithm based on chaotic system and rotation shift is
