The goal of our research is to explore and study the use of computerized tools in archaeological reconstruction projects of monumental architecture in order to propose new ways in which such technology can be used. The first question we ask is: “How and with which computerized t…
The purpose of the mixed methods study was to examine the phenomenon of transphenomenal simultaneity between teacher and student disposition that contributed to the phenomenological conflict of teacher self-positioning and positioning-by-others toward mathematics, mathematics te…
Post-Soviet central Asian states initially diverged into a variety of different regimes. Kyrgyzstan experimented with democracy, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan established authoritarian regimes, while Tajikistan succumbed to civil war. Regardless what particular form their governme…
This dissertation is about the increasing difficulty in defining the difference between war and peace. In the first section the dissertation lays out what it calls an ecological approach to war. An ecological approach is an attempt to capture the entangled and highly globalized …
Transnational advocacy networks (TANs) are a rapidly proliferating phenomenon in international contentious politics. Widely known for waging headline-grabbing wars of words, TANs remain under-theorised on important levels of analysis. Unsurprisingly, they have been termed ‘elusi…
Increasingly, researchers on strategy are turning away from the highly abstracted and de-humanized components that seem to typify the macro approach to strategy. This movement is at least partially brought about by a philosophical recognition that the emergent and unpredictable …
How can we responsibly and usefully read literatures from a variety of cultural positions? The metaphors of fractal geometry can help us conceptualize the complexity of the cultural situation of a text or an author in regard to social vectors such as race, gender, sexuality, and…
Coherent structures form spontaneously in far-from-equilibrium spatiotemporal systems and are found at all spatial scales in natural phenomena from laboratory hydrodynamic flows and chemical reactions to ocean and atmosphere dynamics. Phenomenologically, they appear as key compo…
This dissertation argues that cognition is a kind of natural agency. Natural agency is the capacity that certain systems have to act in accordance with their own norms. Natural agents are systems that bias their repertoires in response to affordances in the pursuit of their goal…
Uncovering the mechanisms by which nature exhibits emergent patterns and behaviors has been an intellectual ambition throughout history. A worthwhile approach is the design of systems whereby emergence and complexity occur organically and without a central controller—as to mimic…
The research program commenced in this dissertation has three pillars: economics, complexity science, and statistics. Notwithstanding the frequency with which the three interact, they have very different foundations and thus are often in methodological tension. It is the goal of…
This dissertation takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding what makes states antifragile and why this matters by constructing a parsimonious, first of its kind agent-based model. The model focuses on the key elements of state antifragility that reside along a spectru…
This research seeks to explore the emergence of inequality and divine kingship in the Preclassic Maya lowlands. This project contributes to the growing dialogue on the topic by exploring the role of monumental architecture in this process, utilizing ritual economy and performanc…

This book introduces the fractal interpolation functions (FIFs) in approximation theory to the readers and the concerned researchers in advanced level. FIFs can be used to precisely reconstruct the naturally occurring functions when compared with the classical interpolants. The …
