Representing and analyzing temporal complexity in children's story books
In this thesis, the temporal complexity in children's stories is analyzed to better understand the development of children's perception of time. The temporal complexity increases both in greater deviations from a chronological presentation of events, as well as an increase in the different kinds of …

Strategic identities amid institutional complexity: A multi-level analysis of values and temporality in organizational contexts
… established companies) navigate institutional complexity during sustainability transitions through the strategic management of their identity. Here, the transformation of core modes of production and consumption to enable systems’ indefinite continuation exposes complex, dynamic, and …

Measurement and modeling of brain tissue and engineered polymer response to concentrated impact loading
… challenge at increasing levels of spatial and temporal complexity by employing dynamic contact mechanics as a tool to consider reduction of TBI. Strategies to reduce TBI include helmets designed to absorb impact energy, which are evaluated typically by simplified impact tests with engineered …

Eddies and friction : removal of vorticity from the wind-driven gyre
… gyres rotating opposite the wind, and temporal complexity including basin resonances.

Enterprise design for dynamic complexity : architecting & engineering organizations using system & structural dynamics
… policies are distant in space and time. Spatial complexity recognizes that correctly defining the limits of the extended enterprise is essential in maximizing shareholder value via stakeholder management. Temporal complexity recognizes that policies, decisions, structure and delays are …

Eddies and friction : removal of vorticity from the wind-driven gyre
… gyres rotating opposite the wind, and temporal complexity including basin resonances. I also demonstrate that multiple-gyre calculations have weaker mean circulation than single-gyres with the same viscosity and subtropical forcing. Despite traditional understanding, almost no …

Nutrient sensing by the mTORC1 pathway in physiology
… Further, we identified a functionally-important temporal shift in nutrient sensitivity of the mTORC1 pathway in pancreatic β cells. We found that this shift is required for β cells to acquire glucose-responsive insulin secretion after birth. We further demonstrated that modulating …

Harmonising Social Considerations in Firms Transitioning to a Circular Economy
… response to unanticipated events - addressing temporal complexity that existing frameworks inadequately accommodate. Second, the multi-level social value integration framework demonstrates how organisations progressively embed social considerations through operational, strategic, and ecosystem …

Multi-Objective Optimization Framework for Generation Expansion Planning Under Transmission Constraints
… while k-means clustering is used to reduce temporal complexity and improve computational efficiency. The multi-objective optimization is executed using the Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II, where candidate system designs are iteratively refined through evolutionary operations until …

RNA Deregulation in Metastatic Breast Cancer
… that together generate extensive phenotypic and temporal complexity from a relatively small number of genes. RNA regulation is achieved through the concerted action of multiple RNA binding proteins (RBPs) which themselves are subject to tight regulation. Recent studies have implicated the …

Tracking brain dynamics across transitions of consciousness
… algorithm is employed to compute signal complexity and symbolic mutual information to assess information integration. An intriguing dissociation between responsiveness and drug level in blood during sedation is revealed: responsiveness is best predicted by the temporal complexity of the …

Time-Space-Resolved Raman Analysis of Structure-Property Relationships in Heterogeneous Structural Materials
… sustainable materials. However, the spatial and temporal complexity of cementitious materials makes it challenging to characterize these materials. Here, a time-space-resolved Raman characterization framework was developed by combining confocal Raman spectroscopy and two-point correlation …

An investigation of spatial-temporal diel changes in Loligo reynaudii catch rates in the commercial squid jig fishery of South Africa
… programme may be improved in terms of spatial-temporal focus, to better survey acoustically detectable aggregations of adult squid throughout the year. Considering that commercial jig catches similarly depend on the prevalence, intensity and duration of aggregations; and assuming standardised …

Social and ecological dimensions of supporting wild pollinators in tropical smallholder farms
… Heterogeneity in study design, spatial and temporal scales, focal taxa, and reporting of key confounding variables further resulted in low overall certainty of evidence and highlights important methodological limitations in the existing literature. In the second data chapter, I explored the …

"Gene regulation in Escherichia coli beyond the ""rate"" approximation"
… mRNA molecule. An important consequence of this temporal complexity is that gene expression level can be tuned by varying different features of the time-series. It is then natural to ask: What modulation scheme is used by the cell to change expression levels of genes? Furthermore, if we look at …

Influence of Peptide Allosteric Modulators on Agonist Bias at Class B1 G Protein-Coupled Receptors
… β-arrestin-mediated pathways adding spatial and temporal complexity. How this crosstalk regulates intracellular signalling was investigated at the Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor (GLP1R), a Class B1 GPCR with implications in glucose homeostasis. Its G protein-dependent signalling was measured, …

Spatial-temporal patterns in evolutionary ecology and fluid turbulence
… both highly non-equilibrium and exhibit spatio-temporal complexity during the course of their evolution. It might seem that they are too complicated to extract universal properties, even if there are any. Surprisingly, it turns out that each of them can shed light on the other, enabling them …
