in this paper we review some recent ideas of synchronization theory. we apply this theory to study the different synchronization aspects of uni-directionally coupled pair of chaotic one-dimensional gaussian maps.

Adverse drug events (ADEs) may cause serious injuries including death. Spontaneous reporting of ADEs plays a great role in detection and prevention of them, however, underreporting always exists. Although several interventions have been utilized to solve this problem, they are mainly based on experience and the rationale for choosing them has no theoretical base. The vast variety of behavioral ...

deflection analysis of a simply supported microbeam subjected to a concentrated load at the middle is investigated on the basis of a shear deformable beam theory and non-classical theory. effects of shear deformation and small size are taken into consideration by hyperbolic shear deformable beam theory and modified strain gradient theory, respectively. the governing differential equations and c...

today we are facing with a turbulent world full of complexity and change. contemporary problems are too complicated for rational, logical solutions. they admit insights, not answers. chaos theory is a solution to reveal insights into the structure and the dynamics of complex systems. chaos theory is in formative stage, but we can use it in management practices. this article is about application...

in this paper the following subjects are presented: 1) an inquiry regarding john calvin’s theory of sensus divintaitis (sense of deity) – as an innate tendency to believe in god, 2) a discussion about calvin’s influence on subsequent thinkers – i.e. reformed theologians and reformed epistemologists, 3) a brief discussion regarding the relation between calvinist theology and natural theology and...
