Hamiltonian chaos: from galactic dynamics to plasma physics by Tenaw , Henok

“…We further investigate the long-term diffusion transport and chaos properties of single and coupled standard maps, focusing on parameters that induce anomalous diffusion through the presence of accelerator modes exhibiting ballistic transport. Using different ensembles of initial conditions in chaotic regions influenced by these modes, we examine asymptotic diffusion rates and their corresponding time scales, identifying conditions that suppress anomalous transport and lead to long-term convergence to normal diffusion across various coupled map arrangements. …”

Analytical perspectives on localized solutions of the phi-4 theory by Dika, Alain

“…To this end, we consider the evolution of the kink's wobbling and rocking modes and their coupling. To improve the asymptotic expansion of the wobbling and rocking amplitudes, we introduce a slowly varying width of the kink. …”

Preparation for school art: young children's meaning making practices in out-of-school settings by Kriel, Benjamin

“…This thesis looks at how children’s meaning making in out-of-school settings, has elements of a distinct semiotic domain; not one where ‘art’ or art related media are the focus of the domain, but rather one where play and its affordances for certain kinds of child agency lead and shape the flow of meaning making. It is found that where the end product and pictorial qualities is not the focus of meaning making, and instead other communicative modes are given expression, such as imaginative and collaborative play, children’s interest is sustained as shared cultural resources are more easily integrated into the events.…”
