FRACTAL GEOMETRY INTRODUCTION Fractals is a new branch of mathematics and art. Most physical systems of nature and many human artifacts are not regular geometric shapes of the standard geometry derived from Euclid (i.e‚ Euclidian geometry: comprising of lines‚ planes‚ rectangular volumes‚ arcs‚ cylinders‚ spheres‚ etc.) Fractal geometry offers almost unlimited ways of describing‚ measuring and predicting the natural phenomena. “Why is geometry often described as ‘cold and dry’? One reason lies

The external environment’s effect on management and strategy A complexity theory approach Roger B. Mason Durban University of Technology‚ Kwa Zulu-Natal‚ South Africa‚ and Honorary Research Fellow‚ University of Wolverhampton‚ Wolverhampton‚ UK Abstract Purpose – This paper seeks to investigate the influence of the external environment on the choice of strategic management activities‚ from a chaos and complexity perspective‚ since a business environment is a complex adaptive system.

Based on the readings‚ web notes‚ and class discussions‚ Jurassic Park was doomed to fail from the start. Malcolm warned that Jurassic Park was a useless expenditure based on the research he had done with his Chaos Theory. He cautioned from the start that the animals would end up acting unpredictably and the island would be a disaster. The five major design flaws of Jurassic Park are- they had limited knowledge about the dinosaurs and the environment they needed to live in‚ they assumed that the

Malcolm‚ a very knowledgeable mathematician‚ decides to go to the island of Isla Nublar to observe the biological preserve that a company named In-Gen has created for the world to see at a price. Malcolm always had doubts about this world of total chaos. Everyone thought that the world of Jurassic Park‚ is a world of new state of the art technology and entertainment. Until everything goes wrong. The electric fences stopped working‚ and the dinosaurs escaped. Ian Malcolm’s opinion of this world

should be a Trickster or trickster energy that helps guide the protagonist to their destination. The character that I will examine as a Trickster is Bakayoko. Although he has many heroic moments‚ his objective is to stir up a conversation‚ creating chaos that leads to conversations between the employers and employees. In this way he acts as a guide for the strikers‚ as they obtain both the rewards and consequences

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Waugh (2009) state that‚ in the era of science and technology biometric technology is becoming and more and more useful with its butches of application. It is useful at shops‚ schools‚ offices organizations‚ companies and libraries no matter how small or big it is. Biometrics has wide range of application ranging from visitors management‚ access control system‚ biometric‚ door locks‚ fingerprint readers and face recognition system Biometric time Attendance

As you first read the Banana Time case you might be asking yourself‚ “what do I do with this case? There are no questions at the end to which I can simply respond”. Attempting to analyze a social system or group such as described in the Banana Time case can be an awkward‚ chaotic experience‚ especially at first. Start with your primary task which is to 1) identify each of the social system elements (as listed in bullet points below and on page 83) and 2) to see if you can describe the interaction
