Solving Hyperchaotic Systems Using the Spectral Relaxation Method by S. S. Motsa, P. G. Dlamini, M. Khumalo

“…A new multistage numerical method based on blending a Gauss-Siedel relaxation method and Chebyshev pseudospectral method, for solving complex dynamical systems exhibiting hyperchaotic behavior, is presented. The proposed method, called the multistage spectral relaxation method (MSRM), is applied for the numerical solution of three hyperchaotic systems, namely, the Chua, Chen, and Rabinovich-Fabrikant systems. …”

A crítica pós-moderna: analítica da interação e da sociabilidade by Carlos A. Gadea

“…When the post-modern critique reformulates issues of sociability and political and cultural behavior and resorts to an analytical framework in which concepts such as plurality, multiplicity, fragmentation and relativism gain importance, it is doing nothing else than reintroducing a theoretical legacy and a sociological adventure that arise, for instance, from the sociological impressionism of Simmel, the pragmatism of William James and psychosocial studies of Georg H. …”
