Dissipative systems theory : analysis and synthesis
… designs for both nonlinear and linear systems. This has renewed interest in the classical concept of dissipative systems. In particular, in various finite gain or passivity system synthesis methods in the literature, one studies a relevant dissipation inequality and looks for an …

Systems Theory Based Framework for Competency Models
… of this research was to develop and apply a systems theoretic framework for design, analysis and transformation of competency models using an inductive research design. This research examines the origins and development of competency models from a systems theoretic perspective. Competency …

Mindcraft: a Dynamical Systems Theory of Cognition
<p>This dissertation develops a theory of cognition, driven by recent developments in the electrophysiological investigation of the neuronal mechanisms that support adaptive behavior. In the first chapter, I situate the theory in the conceptual landscape of the philosophy of mind, distinguishing …

Designing Aviation Security Systems: Theory and Practice
Next-generation aviation security systems need not merely be makeshift political solutions for mending complex problems; they can be the result of modeling, analysis, and planning. This dissertation provides a systematic approach for designing and analyzing aviation security systems, which provides …

Family Systems Theory in Chekhov’s ‘Big Four’ Plays
This thesis discusses the Bowen family systems theory and its application to character analysis and family relationships in drama. Chekhov’s plays are renowned for their psychological realism. Each character has his or her own unique history, which was a boon to the creation and development of the …

A Grounded Theory Study of Systems Theory and Clothing and Textiles Theories for the Development of a Dynamic, Complex Human Systems Theory
Metatheory, a study of theories, was the focus of this research study. A qualitative, grounded theory research design was used to examine documents on systems theory found outside the field of Clothing and Textiles (CT) and the social psychological theories used within CT. Recognizing the dynamic, …

Complementary Currencies: A Systems Theory Approach to Monetary Macroeconomics
… disciplines. However, orthodox macroeconomic theory presupposes that national economies operate optimally when a single monetary unit is employed: general equilibrium optimisation modelling is applied where coordination is assumed and a single money acts only as numéraire. This thesis adopts a …

Systems Theory Based Architecture Framework for Complex System Governance
<p>The purpose of this research was to develop a systems theory based framework for complex system governance using grounded theory approach. Motivation for this research includes: 1) the lack of research that identifies modeling characteristics for complex system governance, 2) the lack of a …

Emphasizing cultural connections in American literature using systems theory.
… should approach American literature using a systems approach – viewing the whole instead of parts. America is a unique society in which each culture contributes to the American culture as a whole. When looking at the literature of that combined culture, it is important to connect all the …

Effective communication on organisational performance based on the systems theory.
… on organizational performance based on the systems theory. The objectives of this study were to firstly identify the factors affecting effective communication based on the systems theory and secondly to devise a communication model that addresses these factors to improve organisational …

Sliding Mode Observers for Distributed Parameter Systems: Theory and Applications
… However, in the case of distributed parameter systems, it is not always possible to have access to the states of the systems due to technical difficulties such as lack of sensors. Therefore, there is the need for state observers to estimate the states of the system only having the output of the …

Conditions Variable: Assemblage Theory and Systems Theory in Creative Practice
… twenty-first century phenomenon of Assemblage theory, which originated in the field of philosophy, within the last 100 years of creative practice. Drawing from Manuel DeLanda’s application of Assemblage theory, I will devise a means to discuss creative practice without reducing its analysis to …

Multiscale Systems Theory With Application to Electrodeposition and Crystallization Process
… the modeling and control of multiscale reacting systems with application to copper electrodeposition. Chemical reacting systems involve phenomena that span several orders of magnitude in time and length scales, from the molecular to the macroscopic. To account for the multiscale character of …

Gröbner basis techniques for certain problems in coding and systems theory
… much common ground between the areas of coding theory and systems theory. Fitzpatrick has shown that a Göbner basis approach leads to efficient algorithms in the decoding of Reed-Solomon codes and in scalar interpolation and partial realization. This thesis simultaneously generalizes and …
