The article discusses the Idea for Design which solves the Lorenz chaotic system in a microcontroller by a combined approach to generating chaotic signals which can be used to encode an information signal for secure transmission. It presents an illustration of the implementation of the approach to generate chaotic signals for use in the study of chaos system.

The article offers information on the universe trend toward disorder, less energy, chaos. It discusses that the concept of the universe trending toward chaos comes to mind when bad things happen, when order breaks down; and mentions that it is an endless process that really revolves around creating order out of chaos, evoking a more perfect state from a less perfect one, decreasing entropy.

Introduces evidence that chaos theory has application to problems facing the electronic weapons community of researchers, scientists, and engineers. Accommodation of the emergent properties of nonlinear systems and processes; Fragmented artform; Representations of reality.

Larkin, 17, and her brother, Garran, toil in mines beneath the isle of Demura to unearth luminite, which is used to suppress outlawed magic. One day, Queen Melay wrenches Larkin and Garran from their home. The menacing, claustrophobic setting is chock full of horror elements, and author Harian (the Chaos Theory trilogy for adults) offers interesting insights into power's tendency to corrupt.

Examines the doctors, nurses and other staffs' work in ad hoc patterns that defy efficiency resulting to an organized chaos. Goal of integrating hospital staffs and their works; Formidable roadblocks to clinical integration; Systems that are making slow progress toward integrating clinical care; Objectives of Care 2000, a clinical integration effort; Informations on the integration system of HealthSystem Minnesota; Reason why many systems are still far from being truly integrated.

The article focuses on how managers of ophthalmological clinics can impart the lessons of respect and professionalism to staffers. Topics discussed include the importance of training staffers in their daily communication with patients and their fellow workers and the need for managers to resolve conflicts. Appreciation for the contribution of each staffers to the running of the facility and recognition for achievements are also mentioned.

Focuses on the computing system developed by researchers at the Atlanta, Georgia-based Georgia Institute of Technology's Applied Chaos Laboratory which uses a network of chaotic elements to evolve its answers. Numerical operations that can be processed by the system; Features of the system.

Describes a computing technique based on chaotic elements that may provide an alternative to digital computing systems. Explanations of William L. Ditto, head of the Applied Chaos Laboratory at the Georgia Institute of Technology; Experiment with a network of chaotic computer elements; Strengths and weaknesses of the system.

The article focuses on the difficulty to model chaotic systems with reasonable accuracy. Chaotic systems are defined as those where a small change in an input variable can result in a major change in the system's behavior. Changes in the sun's heat output, geological and other natural occurrences and the periodic change in the earth's orbit around the sun have caused global warming and cooling events.
