Value Indefiniteness, Randomness and Unpredictability in Quantum Foundations
… and certification of quantum randomness and unpredictability. One of the key results in forming our understanding of quantum mechanics as an intrinsically indeterministic theory is the Kochen-Specker theorem, which shows the impossibility to consistently assign simultaneous noncontextual …

Philosophical aspects of chaos: definitions in mathematics, unpredictability, and the observational equivalence of deterministic and indeterministic descriptions
… basis for the dissertation, I examine notions of unpredictability in ergodic theory, and I ask what they tell us about the justification and formulation of mathematical definitions. The main account of the actual practice of justifying mathematical definitions is Lakatos's account on …

The reality of myoelectric prostheses : how do EMG skill, unpredictability of prosthesis response, and delays impact on user functionality and everyday prosthesis use?
… (1) user skill in controlling an EMG signal, (2) unpredictability of prosthesis response introduced at the interface between the electrodes and the skin, and (3) the electromechanical delay in the prosthesis, on user performance, quantified in terms of: (1) functionality (kinematic and gaze), and …

Predictability studies of coastal marine ecosystem behavior
… what are the intrinsic reasons of this apparent unpredictability. Without involving into strictly philosophical grounds, the unpredictability of marine ecosystems is generally connected to the existence of emergent properties in natural systems, indicating with this term that systems behavior …

Knowledge-based expertise as the hallmark of work of risk : an analysis of the curriculum and pedagogy of a National Diploma in Train-Driving
… work; defined as work that involves inherent unpredictability which depends on the skilled performance of the worker-practitioner. A single qualitative case study of a national train driving diploma is examined.

Improving the Security of Continuous Variable Quantum Random Number Generators
… great promise for such applications, as the unpredictability of their outputs is guaranteed by the laws of quantum mechanics, provided their implementation matches the assumptions made in their protocols. This is not always the case in practice, which can compromise the unpredictability of …

The use of a logistic map for key generation
… of the communication agents, as well as unpredictability and randomness from the perspective of an eavesdropper. Lastly, the performance of the LMS is compared against that of an existing technique. Results from a comparative analysis indicate that the proposed method generally yields a …

Compiler optimizations for an asynchronous stream-oriented programming language
… is difficult, owing to the latters' inherent unpredictability. In this thesis, we present several compiler optimizations for WaveScript, a high-level, functional, stream-oriented programming language. We also present a framework for using profiling of stream-graph execution to drive …

Impact of environmental conditions on cost management information systems in Egyptian organisations.
… national economy. Environment competition and unpredictability have affected the organisations and increased the requirement for them to work more effectively and creatively. Johnson and Kaplan (1987), Johnson (1992), Bromwich and Bhimani (1989), Ezzamel (1994), Dent (1990) and Scapens (1984) …

Nonlinear Dynamics In Musical Interactions
… in instrumental interactions in relation to unpredictability and creative exploration. Evidence is presented demonstrating that nonlinear dynamical processes can be drawn on as resources for exploration over long time periods. An approach to creative interaction that explicitly draws on the …

Active Nonlinear Vibration Control of Engineering Structures of Multiple Dimensions
… among the nonlinear vibrations features unpredictability. Considering the damage and unpredictability of nonlinear vibrations, nonlinear vibrations is ought to be controlled. However, most of the existing active nonlinear vibration control strategies can only be applied to the nonlinear …

Exploring child protection social workers' perceptions of how their experience of work and wellbeing influence each other
… off, experience, protection of children and the unpredictability of the job were highlighted as factors positively influencing participants' wellbeing. Conversely, participants' wellbeing was also negatively influenced by certain challenges encountered at work such as changes due to Covid 19, …

Women of the Mere: stories
… Southern women who have a draw toward the unpredictability and danger of the macabre. Based on personal experiences but fictionalized through the poetic lens of negative capability, each story takes place in modern Tennessee and follows female protagonists with uncanny, “familiar”-like …

Memristor-based AI Hardware for Reliable and Reconfigurable Neuromorphic Computing
… analogue switching capacity. However, switching unpredictability is caused by the extreme stochasticity of ion transport. I demonstrated a Si memristor with alloyed conduction channels that works dependably and enables large-scale crossbar array deployment. In addition, heterogeneously integrated …

Determining the Damage State of the Electrical Distribution System Following an Earthquake
… how strong they will be when they occur. This unpredictability makes determining how a system will react to the undesired input difficult. In addition, when a natural disaster strikes a populated area, the lifelines which support the area, water, electricity, etc., are all affected. These …

Toward time-predictable execution of multi-task real-time systems
… these components can be sources of significant unpredictability in task executions if they are not operated in a deterministic manner. In particular, our analysis and experiments in [6, 35] show that with the standard cache and memory controller sharing mechanism, the execution time of a task …
