Complexity in quantum systems [PDF]
Physical Review E, 1994 We discuss the behavior of a quantum 1/2 spin coupled to a time dependent magnetic field, which can be quasiperiodic or random. For a quasiperiodic field, the time evolution of the system on a coarse grained space has autocorrelation, which does not decay, and positive topological entropy. The information complexity diverges as a stretched exponential,

Complex clients - complex systems? [PDF]
South Pacific Journal of Psychology, 2001 I would like to start with a tale… Exposure 'Some time ago a clinical psychologist registrar noted, vexedly, that it was all very well knowing what her clients needed to do if they were to improve, but it was no use at all when they stubbornly refused to adopt or deploy such life enhancing strategies.

Complexity: against systems [PDF]
Theory in Biosciences, 2011 This article assumes a specific intuitive notion of complexity as a difficulty to generate and/or assess the plausibility of models. Based on this intuitive understanding of complexity, it identifies two main causes of complexity, namely, radical openness and contextuality. The former is the idea that there are no natural systems.

Modeling complex systems [PDF]
Agricultural Economics, 2010 AbstractEmpirical observations suggest that linear dynamics are not an adequate representation of ecological systems and that a realistic representation would require adoption of complex nonlinear dynamical systems with characteristics encountered in complex adaptive systems (CAS).

The complexity of anatomical systems [PDF]
Theoretical Biology and Medical Modelling, 2005 AbstractBackgroundThe conception ofanatomical entitiesas a hierarchy of infinitely graduated forms and the increase in the number of observed anatomical sub-entities and structural variables has generated a growingcomplexity, thus highlighting new properties of organised biological matter.Results(1) Complexity is so pervasive in the anatomical world ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a chronic, inherited hemoglobinopathy that requires frequent hospitalization for disease‐related complications. Canadian data on inpatient care is limited. This study compared caregiver‐reported hospital experiences of children with SCD to those with cystic fibrosis (CF), a chronic, autosomal recessive ...

Complexity and fragility in system of systems
International Journal of System of Systems Engineering, 2016 SoS are an ensemble of complex systems, which have the potential for an extraordinary amount of structural complexity, even temporarily, as a result of interconnections and couplings that can vary in strength. Because of this, SoS can be vulnerable to sudden catastrophic collapse as a result of small and insignificant partial functionality losses in ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Wilms tumor (WT) treatment imposes a significant time burden on patients and their families. Time toxicity is a patient‐centered metric that quantifies the burden of healthcare interaction. We sought to define time toxicity in the first year after diagnosis of WT and hypothesized that it would increase as tumor stage and treatment ...
