Post-Truth and Critical Communication Studies

Abstract While the periodizing concept “post-truth” (PT) initially appeared in the United States as a key word of popular politics in the form “post-truth politics” or “post-truth society,” it quickly appeared in many languages. It is now t...

Quantum Image Encryption Scheme Using Arnold Transform and S-box Scrambling

The paper proposes a lossless quantum image encryption scheme based on substitution tables (S-box) scrambling, mutation operation and general Arnold transform with keys. First, the key generator builds upon the foundation of SHA-256 hash wi...

Fractals and Chaos in Geology and Geophysics

This book introduces the fundamental concepts of fractal geometry and chaotic dynamics. These concepts are then related to a variety of geological and geophysical problems, illustrating just what chaos theory and fractals really tell us and...

Fractals and chaos in geology and geophysics

This book introduces the fundamental concepts of fractal geometry and chaotic dynamics. These concepts are then related to a variety of geological and geophysical problems, illustrating just what chaos theory and fractals really tell us and...

Fractals and Chaos in Geology and Geophysics

Fractals and Chaos in Geology and Geophysics

The fundamental concepts of fractal geometry and chaotic dynamics, along with the related concepts of multifractals, self-similar time series, wavelets, and self-organised criticality, are introduced in this book, for a broad range of reade...

Reflection on the Spread of Chinese Popular Religion: A Case-Study of the Han Yu Belief in the Chaozhou Region

Han Yu 韓愈 was a prominent literatus in the Tang dynasty and an influential figure in the history of Chaozhou culture. From the Song dynasty, the Neo-Confucian teachings became popular, and Han Yu was revered as a significant pioneer; hence,...

The Future of Killing: Ethical and Legal Implications of Fully Autonomous Weapon Systems

Warfare is moving towards full weapon autonomy. Already, there are weapons in service that replace a human at the point of engagement. The remote pilot must adhere to the law and consider the moral and ethical implications of using lethal f...

Cooperation-Based Modeling of Sustainable Development: An Approach from Filippov’s Systems

The concept of Sustainable Development has given rise to multiple interpretations. In this article, it is proposed that Sustainable Development should be interpreted as the capacity of territory, community, or landscape to conserve the noti...

Chaotic outbreak in discrete epidemic model with vaccination and quarantine interventions and limited medical resources

The spread of infectious diseases can be analyzed dynamically using a discrete dynamic system. The characteristics of the infectious disease phenomenon are interesting to study as parameters considered in a dynamic system. Some of these inc...

Discrete Phase-Locked Loop Systems and Spreadsheets

This paper demonstrates the use of a spreadsheet in exploring non-linear difference equations that describe digital control systems used in radio engineering, communication and computer architecture. These systems, being the focus of intens...

A novel chaotic flower pollination algorithm for function optimization and constrained optimal power flow considering renewable energy sources

This study presents an improved chaotic flower pollination algorithm (CFPA) with a view to handle the optimal power flow (OPF) problem integrating a hybrid wind and solar power and generate the optimal settings of generator power, bus volta...

Emergence of chaotic resonance controlled by extremely weak feedback signals in neural systems

IntroductionChaotic resonance is similar to stochastic resonance, which emerges from chaos as an internal dynamical fluctuation. In chaotic resonance, chaos-chaos intermittency (CCI), in which the chaotic orbits shift between the separated ...

Quantum Computing of Quantum Chaos and Imperfection Effects

We study numerically the imperfection effects in the quantum computing of the kicked rotator model in the regime of quantum chaos. It is shown that there are two types of physical characteristics: for one of them the quantum computation err...

Quantum chaos border for quantum computing

We study a generic model of quantum computer, composed of many qubits coupled by short-range interaction. Above a critical interqubit coupling strength, quantum chaos sets in, leading to quantum ergodicity of the computer eigenstates. In th...

Controlling chaos in distributed systems

A simple and robust procedure for freezing out chaotic behavior in systems composed of interacting agents making decisions based on imperfect and delayed information is described. It is based on a reward mechanism whereby the relative numbe...

Recurrent Neural Networks for Prediction

New technologies in engineering, physics and biomedicine are demanding increasingly complex methods of digital signal processing. By presenting the latest research work the authors demonstrate how real-time recurrent neural networks (RNNs) ...

Introduction to artificial neural networks

The coupling of computer science and theoretical bases such as nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory allows the creation of 'intelligent' agents, such as artificial neural networks (ANNs), able to adapt themselves dynamically to problems of h...

Non-truncated strategy to exactly integrate the post-Newtonian Lagrangian circular restricted three-body problem

Abstract In this study, we present a novel non-truncated strategy by accompanying the fixed-point iteration with traditional numerical integrators. The proposed non-truncated strategy aims to exactly integrate implicit motion equations that...

Spatiotemporal patterns induced by four mechanisms in a tussock sedge model with discrete time and space variables

Abstract In this paper, we investigate the spatiotemporal patterns of a freshwater tussock sedge model with discrete time and space variables. We first analyze the kinetic system and show the parametric conditions for flip and Neimark–Sacke...
