We propose a new method to investigate collective behavior in a network of globally coupled chaotic elements generated by a tent map. In the limit of large system size, the dynamics is described with the nonlinear FrobeniusPerron equation. This equation can be transformed into a simple form by making use of the piecewise linear nature of the individual map. Our method is applied successfully to...

This paper presents a unifying account for why many biological, ecological and other science processes that are taught in school curricula those occurring our everyday environment (such as the spread of Covid19) particularly difficult students to understand. These often-misconceived Emergent processes. The hypothesis is bring perspective Individualistic (a form linear) thinking suitable underst...

We describe the emergence of phase clustering and collective behaviors in an ensemble of chaotic coupled map lattices, due to a mean field interaction. This kind of interaction is responsible for the appearence of a collective state, wherein the mean field evolution of each lattice undergoes a periodic behavior in space. We analyze the transition to such a state in an ensemble of one-dimensiona...

The emergence of nontrivial collective behavior in networks of coupled chaotic maps is investigated by means of a nonlinear mutual prediction method. The resulting prediction error is used to measure the amount of information that a local unit possesses about the collective dynamics. Applications to locally and globally coupled map systems are considered. The prediction error exhibits phase tra...

The article sets out the value of theorizing collective action from a social science perspective that engages with the messy actuality of practice. It argues that community health psychology relies on an abstract version of Paulo Freire's earlier writing, the Pedagogy of the Oppressed, which provides scholar-activists with a 'map' approach to collective action. The article revisits Freire's lat...

â  introduction â  ethnic disputes and collective aggressions are observable in each period of history and are more evident in traditional and nomadic communities. this issue has had many life and property damages in the past and present times and it has also prevented social development to flourish. based on the damages of collective aggression, the researchers attempt to study the fundamental...

Most current studies investigating semantic memory have focused on associative (ring-emerald) or taxonomic relations (bird-sparrow). Little is known about the question of how causal relations (virus-epidemic) are stored and accessed in semantic memory. The goal of this study was to examine the processing of causally related, general associatively related and hierarchically related word pairs wh...

The spatial distribution of 138 Dorylaimid and Mononchid species collected in a natural area from the Southeast Iberian Peninsula was studied. A chorological classification was used to examine distribution patterns shared by groups of species. Eighty species were classified into 14 collective and 16 individual chorotypes. The geographical projections of several collective chorotypes are illustr...

The paper presents a model for the design of an electric car sharing service for the city of Milano. Several options of service configurations have been analysed and evaluated according to indicators, to measure the performance of such options in respect to relevant dimensions (i.e., economic and financial costs and revenues, mobility, social benefits, environmental effects). We set up a multic...

The processing of causal relations has been constantly found to be asymmetrical once the roles of cause and effect are assigned to objects in interactions. We used a relationship recognition paradigm and recorded electroencephalographic (EEG) signals to explore the neural mechanism underlying the asymmetrical representations of causal relations in semantic memory. The results revealed that the ...
