Understanding the Role of Chaos Theory in Military Decision Making
Chaos theory is a poorly understood concept in social science and in military analytical decision making systems. Military decision makers require a multidisciplinary approach of mathematical analysis, modeling and simulation, topology, and post-structural philosophy if they intend to conceptualize chaos theory and complex adaptive systems and theirs relevance to military planning. The essence of this understanding is that while chaos appears random, chaos properly understood is a deterministic series found in very simple forms. These forms exhibit sensitivity to initial conditions, bounding, and attractors. Despite various methods for detecting chaos in mechanical systems, data set size limitations and inability to separate out adaptive behaviors make these techniques of little value in situ. Adaptation and complexity are phenomena that are very different from chaos. Higher order interactions and effects, self-organization, and propensity of co-evolution and novel emergence distinguish chaos from stochastic processes. The self-organization and emergence are evident when a cumulative effect is different from the additive effects of the components. These self-organizing components differ from chaos because the properties of resolution and scope are fundamentally different. The fractal nature of chaos ensures that it is scale less and, therefore, unable to produce novel emergent effects. One way to conceptualize chaos within complexity is through the Deleuzian post-structural Philosophy of Difference regarding Smooth and Striated Spaces and Nomad versus the Sedentary agents. This conceptualization, transferred to chaos applications, links turbulence to barriers and increased gridding on the surface of open systems. These barriers inform agents on suitable terrain and options during decision-making. Understanding chaos has several applications for military planning in real world environments. Because chaos is bounded, planners can create allowances for system noise.

Evaluation of Conceptual Models of Natural Organic Matter (humus) From a Consideration of the Chemical and Biochemical Processes of Humification
Natural organic matter (NOM) has been studied for more than 200 years because of its importance in enhancing soil fertility, soil structure, and water-holding capacity and as a carbon sink in the global carbon cycle. Two different types of models have been proposed for NOM: (1) the humic polymer models and (2) the molecular aggregate models. In the humic polymer models, NOM molecules are depicted as large (humic) polymers that have unique chemical structures that are different from those of the precursor plant degradation products. In the molecular aggregate models, NOM is depicted as being composed of molecular aggregates (supramolecular aggregates) of plant degradation products held together by non-covalent bonds. The preponderance of evidence favors the supramolecular aggregate models. These models were developed by studying the properties of NOM extracted from soils and natural waters, and as such, they provide only a very generalized picture of the structure of NOM aggregates in soils and natural waters prior to extraction. A compartmental model, in which the structure of the NOM in each of the compartments is treated separately, should provide a more accurate representation of NOM in soil and sediment systems. The proposed NOM compartments are: (1) partially degraded plant tissue, (2) biomass from microorganisms, (3) organic coatings on mineral grains, (4) pyrolytic carbon, (5) organic precipitates, and (6) dissolved organic matter (DOM) in interstitial water. Within each of these compartments there are NOM supramolecular aggregates that will be dissolved by the solvent systems that are used by researchers for extraction of NOM from soils and sediments. In natural water systems DOM may be considered as existing in two subcompartments: (1) truly dissolved DOM and (2) colloidal DOM.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Gradients and Non-Adiabatic Derivative Coupling Terms for Spin-Orbit Wavefunctions
Analytic gradients of electronic eigenvalues require one calculation per nuclear geometry, compared to 3n calculations for finite difference methods, where n is the number of nuclei. Analytic non-adiabatic derivative coupling terms, which are calculated in a similar fashion, are used to remove non-diagonal contributions to the kinetic energy operator, leading to more accurate nuclear dynamics calculations than those that employ the Born-Oppenheimer approximation and assume off-diagonal contributions are zero. The current methods and underpinnings for calculating both of these quantities for MRCI-SD wavefunctions in COLUMBUS are reviewed. Before this work, these methods were not available for wavefunctions of a relativistic MRCI-SD Hamiltonian. A formalism for calculating the density matrices, analytic gradients, and analytic derivative coupling terms for those wavefunctions is presented. The results of a sample calculation using a Stuttgart basis for K He are presented.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
