Minimizing Chaos
The thesis works presented in this paper are mixed media paintings that explore the tension between artistic control and abandon in what is essentially an intuitive driven process of image making. With these thesis works I have sought to use additive and subtractive processes to create compositions …

Harboring chaos
Hurricane shelters have become the unknown point of last resort for many coastal communities. Harboring displaced populations during a hurricane and it's chaotic aftermath are no longer seen as a need in a coastal communities evacuation strategy. The dangerous situation this strategy poses is being …

Out of Chaos
This is a collection of poetry on a variety of themes, namely, personal identity, travel, southern upbringing, and interaction with daily ennui. It also presents a range of different poetic techniques, from collage and pastiche to more traditional lyric formats.

Chaos and Localisation
… energy space of two paradigm systems of quantum chaos theory. These are highly excited hydrogen atoms subject to a microwave field, and kicked atoms which mimic the delta-kicked rotor model. Both of these systems show a complex dynamical evolution arising from the interaction with an external …

Quantum Wiener chaos
In this thesis we develop the theory of quantum Wiener integrals on the bosonic Fock space. We study multiple quantum Wiener integrals as an algebra of unbounded operators, investigating its properties, including closedness, common domains and multiplication formulas. We show the applications of …

Chaos and Dynamical Systems
… to late twentieth century, a new branch formed: chaos. Chaos is the study of dynamical systems that vary greatly with respect to initial conditions. The slightest change in an initial condition, a seemingly unnoticeable change, can yield a drastically different result if the system is chaotic. …

Between Order and Chaos
… the often feeble orders humanity builds and the chaos of the surrounding universe is of central importance to the body of work that makes up the thesis exhibition. This tension informs every aspect of the work, from its making to its viewing, and is manifested in the formal and conceptual …

On Gaussian Multiplicative Chaos
Gaussian multiplicative chaos was first constructed in Kahane's seminal paper in 1985 in an attempt to provide a mathematical foundation for Kolmogorov-Obukhov-Mandelbrot theory of energy dissipation in developed turbulence. It has attracted a lot of attentions from the mathematics community in the …

Chaos Criminology: A Critical Inquiry
… this effort has taken the form of integrating Chaos Theory into Criminology into what this thesis calls ‘Chaos Criminology’. However, with the melding of any two fields, terms and concepts need to be translated properly, which has yet to be done. In addition to proving a translation between …

Quantum chaos and phase transitions
Quantum materials permeate the modern world - these are systems that exhibit quantum mechanical properties, like topological phases and superconductivity, at macroscopic scales. The principles governing quantum materials include entanglement and coherence -phenomena which are fundamentally quantum …

CHAOS, holography, and other science
… relationship between black holes in holography, chaos in strongly-coupled quantum systems, and the computational complexity of holographic states. By directly considering the time evolution of local operators, I am led to a simple diagnostic of many-body chaos: a commutator of such operators …

Chaos in Pulsed Laminar Flow
… two laminar flow systems. In the first system, chaos is generated in a flow between two closely spaced parallel circular plates by pulsed operation of fluid extraction and reinjection through singularities in the domain. A singularity through which fluid is injected (or extracted) is called a …

Synthesis of chaos theory & design
The design implications of chaos theory are explored. What does this theory mean, if anything, to landscape architecture or architecture? In order to investigate these questions, the research was divided into four components relevant to design. First, philosophical- chaos offers a nonlinear …

Organized Chaos: Daily Routines as a Potential Mechanism Linking Household Chaos and Child Behavior Problems
… Understanding the mechanisms linking household chaos to early externalizing behaviors is important since those mechanisms could be targeted as a point of intervention. The primary aim of this study was to examine daily routines as a potential mediator of the relation between household chaos and …
