Unfolding Systems Boundary: Evolution and Implication
نویسندگان
چکیده
The characteristics of systems boundary are unfolded by tracing the conceptual evolution of boundary in diverse and multiple disciplines, including systems approaches, organisational studies, chaos theory, and Chinese Taoism. Some key ideas revealed include difference as the origin of boundary, the primary (non-supplementary) role of boundary, buffering and spanning as boundary strategies, transforming and displacing boundary for network strengthening, the boundary as a chaotic state, and the dynamic, paradoxical, dialectical and recursive natures of the activities at the boundary, and positivist, interpretive and critical implications of the boundary in systems theories.

متن کاملGeochemistry and Tectonic Setting of Pleistocene Basaltic Lava Flows in the Shahre-Babak Area, NW of Kerman, Iran: Implication for the Evolution of Urumieh- Dokhtar Magmatic Assemblage
Pleistocene basaltic lava flows, consisting of trachybasalt and basaltic trachyandesite, cover an area north-northwest of Shahre-Babak in southeastern Iran. The whole rock chemistry indicates that the lavas are dominantly alkaline and mildly calc-alkaline. Variation diagrams of SiO2 with major and trace elements are consistent with fractional crystallization processes involving olivine, pyroxen...
متن کاملBuoyancy Term Evolution in the Multi Relaxation Time Model of Lattice Boltzmann Method with Variable Thermal Conductivity Using a Modified Set of Boundary Conditions
During the last few years, a number of numerical boundary condition schemes have been used to study various aspects of the no-slip wall condition using the lattice Boltzmann method. In this paper, a modified boundary condition method is employed to simulate the no-slip wall condition in the presence of the body force term near the wall. These conditions are based on the idea of the bounce-back ...
متن کاملUnfolding X-ray spectrum in the diagnostic range using the Monte Carlo Code MCNP5
Introduction: Unfolding X-ray spectrum is a powerful tool for quality control of X-ray tubes. Generally, the acquisition of the X-ray spectrum in diagnostic radiology departments is complicated and difficult due to high photon flux. Measurement of x ray spectra using radiation detectors could not be performed accurately, because of the pulse pile up. Therefore, indirect methods...
متن کاملThe Bundle Plot: Evolution of Symbolic Space under the System parameter Changes
This is a topological dynamics perspective on the full bifurcation unfolding in unimodal mappings. We present a bundle structure, visualized as a bundle plot, to show the evolution of symbolic space as we vary a system parameter. The bundle plot can be viewed as a limit process of an assignment plot, which are lines assignments between points from two dynamical systems. Such line assignments ar...
