Having made substantial progress understanding molecules, cells, genes and pathways,
aging biology research is now moving toward integration of these parts, attempting to …

This paper reviews existing research on self-presentation in social media in order to inform
future research. Social media offer seemingly limitless opportunities for strategic self …

A plethora of different theories, models, and concepts make up the field of community
ecology. Amid this vast body of work, is it possible to build one general theory of ecological …

Nearly all nontrivial real-world systems are nonlinear dynamical systems. Chaos describes
certain nonlinear dynamical systems that have a very sensitive dependence on initial …

Metagenomics and 16S pyrosequencing have enabled the study of ecosystem structure and
dynamics to great depth and accuracy. Co-occurrence and correlation patterns found in …

This paper proposes a new block image encryption scheme based on hybrid chaotic maps
and dynamic random growth technique. Since cat map is periodic and can be easily cracked …

Although complexity surrounds us, its inherent uncertainty, ambiguity, and contradiction can
at first make complex systems appear inscrutable. Ecosystems, for instance, are nonlinear …

The mathematization of all sciences, the fading of traditional scientific boundaries, the
impact of computer technology, the growing importance of computer modeling and the …

Finite systems of deterministic ordinary nonlinear differential equations may be designed to
represent forced dissipative hydrodynamic flow. Solutions of these equations can be …

First-order difference equations arise in many contexts in the biological, economic and
social sciences. Such equations, even though simple and deterministic, can exhibit a …
