Novel unified chaotic system with multi-parameter invariable Lyapunov exponent spectrum by Qiuzhen WAN, Zhaoteng ZHOU

“…Based on the traditional Qi chaotic system,a novel unified chaotic system with the complex chaotic characteristics was constructed by adding the control parameters and modifying the nonlinear terms.Firstly,basic dynamical characteristics of chaotic system were analyzed,and phase portrait,time domain waveform diagram,Poincare mapping and power spectrum diagram were numerically simulated.Secondly,system parameters influence on chaotic system was discussed through Lyapunov exponent spectrum,bifurcation diagrams and chaotic signal amplitude.It was found that the unified chaotic system can generate the four new types of two-wing chaotic attractors with the multi-parameter invariable Lyapunov exponent spectrum characteristics.Meanwhile,there exist the functions of the global and local nonlinear amplitude modulation parameters.Thirdly,taking the first chaotic attractor of system as an example by introducing the two new types of nonlinear functions,the expansion of grid multi-wing attractor was realized.Finally,the hardware circuit of novel unified chaotic system was constructed.The four new types of chaotic attractors are observed experimentally,which is consistent with numerical simulation results and verified the feasibility of the proposed system.…”

Conversations with Miss Jane by Geneviève Fabre

“…Jane’s desire for liberty and justice is often challenged as she faces the possibilities of life or death.Conversations build up a complex, often contradictory, but compelling portrait: torn between silence and vehemence, between memories and the urge to meet the future, Jane summons body and mind to find her way through the maze of a fast changing world; self-willed and obstinate she claims her right to speak, to express with wit and wisdom her firm belief in the word, in the ability to express deep seated convictions and faith and a whole array of feelings and emotions.…”

Projeto Identicidade: espaço, identidade e fotografia by Glauber Bedini de Jesus

“…The construction of such visual element was made possible through the creation and revisitation of monochromatic photographic images of key locations across the cities visited by the researcher that were analyzed, organized and arranged in a way as to create a self-portrait. Even though we can notice a close relation among the themes that were researched throughout the creation process, the product entitled “Projeto Identicidade” allowed for the construction of a space/time fundamentally processual, revealing the obstacles of creating an identity from visual elements, where the hermetic quality of the technologic processes are a constant presence and, in some cases, can shape an artistic action. …”
