Modeling human dynamics and lifestyles using digital traces
… to model and identify shared patterns in human activity with respect to three applications. First, we propose a novel model to characterize the bursty dynamics found in human activity. This model couples excitation from past events with weekly periodicity and circadian rhythms, giving the …

Nonlinear dynamics in complex networks and modeling human dynamics
Durch große Datenmengen können die Forscher die Eigenschaften komplexer Systeme untersuchen, z.B. komplexe Netzwerk und die Dynamik des menschlichen Verhaltens. Eine große Anzahl an Systemen werden als große und komplexe Netzwerke dargestellt, z.B. das Internet, Stromnetze, Wirtschaftssysteme. …

Anthropogenic landscapes : Owens Lake, CA
In the Age of the Anthropocene, human activities have greatly altered and transformed all aspects of the geological environment, typically extracting what is considered valuable and leaving behind degraded landscapes. Often existing in between the city and wilderness nature, these landscapes are …

USING SOCIALLY SENSED BIG DATA TO MODEL PATTERNS AND GEOGRAPHIC CONTEXT OF HUMAN ACTIVITIES IN CITIES
Understanding dynamic interactions between human activities and land-use structure in a city is a key lens to explore the city as a complex system. This dissertation contributes to understanding the complexity of urban dynamics by gaining knowledge of the interactions between human activities and …

Exploring the implicate order in public organizations: the complementarity of Bowen theory and chaos theory
… in order that the co-determined nature of human dynamics can be adequately brought to the level of practice. I present two case studies. The cases illustrate the difference between managing with a theory of action grounded in the principle of mutual causality and managing based on a theory …

Improving Human Safety through Integrated Autonomous Motion Planning
… heavy equipment or moving objects. To improve human safety in these scenarios, visual feedback is recommended to enhance a person’s situational awareness and reduce the number of collisions. Previous work on human-centric approaches have used either global planning around static obstacles or …

Heavy Tails and Anomalous Diffusion in Human Online Dynamics
In this dissertation, I extend the analysis of human dynamics to human movements in online activities. My work starts with a discussion of the human information foraging process based on three large collections of empirical search click-through logs collected in different time periods. With the …

Mechatronic and biomechanical considerations toward the design of an ankle clonus simulator
… diagnose clonus effectively. Thus, we, at the Human Dynamics and Controls Lab, designed an electromechanical ankle clonus simulator, based on a series elastic actuator mechanism, that is capable of providing training for administration of an ankle clonus test and therefore substituting the need …

Paving the Way for Merleau-Ponty’s Eye and Mind in Organizational Communication Studies
… experiences organizational communication, texts, human and non-human dynamics, and non-rational ways of knowing through sense. Chapter two discusses, aesthetic organizing, a theory developed in the 1990’s as a response to the predominant rational, cognitive, and analytic models used to understand …

GEOARCHAEOLOGICAL AND PALAEOENVIRONMENTAL RECONSTRUCTION OF THE HOLOCENE CLIMATE-ENVIRONMENTAL-HUMAN NEXUS IN THEKURDISTAN REGION OF IRAQ
… Moreover, it enhances our understanding of the human responses and adaptation to climate, landscape, ecosystem, and natural resources availability changes across the last millennia. The geomorphological analysis and mapping of the Northwestern and Central Kurdistan Region of Iraq offers …
