behavior
▪
Using enzyme concentration as the bifurcation parameter it was possible to induce reversible transitions between periodic and chaotic behavior .
▪
Experimental literature that explicitly suggests that chaotic behavior has been observed in neural systems not subject to periodic stimulation is more limited.
▪
It is possible to speculate that this system might enter a region of chaotic behavior in vivo.
▪
Thus, if the second-messenger network were to enter a domain of chaotic behavior , chaotic variation in membrane potential would result.
▪
Specifically, can chaotic behavior result in a single-loop feedback system with a nonmonotonic nonlinearity?
▪
Theoretical arguments also indicate that multicellular neural systems can enter domains of chaotic behavior .
▪
They found evidence for chaotic behavior .
behaviour
▪
Secondly the standard routes to chaos imply the existence of a well-defined onset of chaotic behaviour .
▪
These are the terms that are considered to induce chaotic behaviour in these cosmological models.
▪
We have noted that chaotic behaviour can arise only for systems governed by non-linear equations.
▪
Then chaotic behaviour recurs, with the phase space trajectories being initially confined to bands and subsequently filling a whole region.
▪
An important aspect of such chaotic behaviour is sensitivity to initial conditions.
▪
The existence of expanding and contracting directions is an essential prerequisite for chaotic behaviour in dissipative systems of this sort.
situation
▪
Mere words could do little in the short term to reverse the chaotic situation .
▪
The chaotic situation gave an opening for the military coup.
▪
Some observers feared a chaotic situation that could deprive the eventual winner of the legitimacy needed to govern.
EXAMPLES FROM OTHER ENTRIES
▪
Newscasts continued to broadcast images of the chaotic minutes after the shooting.
▪
The chaotic social and economic conditions could lead to civil war.
▪
The city is a sprawling chaotic metropolis of some eight million residents.
▪
We flew on the day after Christmas and the situation at the airport was completely chaotic .
EXAMPLES FROM CORPUS
▪
Dawn saw the north wind still blowing strongly, and a chaotic sea right to the horizon.
▪
Lord Owen condemned the voting as chaotic .
▪
One can contemplate at least three roles for these chaotic regimes.
▪
So the chaotic sea has an ambivalent character as well, like the sea, its visible expression.
▪
Some observers feared a chaotic situation that could deprive the eventual winner of the legitimacy needed to govern.
▪
The only defence open to enterprises and manufacturing industry would be a chaotic cut in their demand for these raw materials.
