Homeodynamic complexity: multifractal analysis of physiological instability

the effect of task complexity on lexical complexity and grammatical accuracy of efl learners’ argumentative writing

بر اساس فرضیه شناخت رابینسون (2001 و 2003 و 2005) و مدل ظرفیت توجه محدود اسکهان (1998)، این تحقیق تاثیر پیچیدگی تکلیف را بر پیچیدگی واژگان و صحت گرامری نوشتار مباحثه ای 60 نفر از دانشجویان زبان انگلیسی بررسی کرد. میزان پیچیدگی تکلیف از طریق فاکتورهای پراکندگی-منابع تعیین شد. همه ی شرکت کنندگان به صورت نیمه تصادفی به یکی از سه گروه: (1) گروه موضوع، (2) گروه موضوع + اندیشه و (3) گروه موضوع + اندی...

From Homeostatic to Homeodynamic Self

Life as an autonomous homeostatic system is discussed. A mechanism that drives a homeostatic state to an autonomous self-moving state is examined with two computational cell models. The mechanism is met with R. Ashby’s ultrastability, where random parameter searching is activated when a system breaks a viability constraint. Such a random search process is introduced by the membrane shape in the...

Multifractal analysis of hemodynamic behavior: intraoperative instability and its pharmacological manipulation.

BACKGROUND Physiologic instability is a common clinical problem in the critically ill. Many natural feedback systems are nonlinear, and seemingly random fluctuations may result from the amplification of external perturbations or even arise de novo as a consequence of their underlying dynamics. Characterization of the underlying nonlinear state may be of clinical importance, providing a techniqu...

Multifractal analysis for all

Multifractal formalism and analysis have been described many times (Lopes and Betrouni, 2009). There are several approaches to the implementation of multifractal analysis and there numerous ways to present these (Olsen, 1995; Wendt et al., 2009; Ihlen, 2012). Ihlen’s article, in the June 4th 2012 issue of Frontiers of Physiology, entitled “Introduction to multifractal detrended fluctuation anal...
