| Abstract | Healthy and stable state of complex biological systems lies in the narrow region between chaos and frozen state. The cause of chaos is often small initial change in starting conditions, quickly spreading and leading to system wide changes. For example, few microbial pathogens can quickly lead the host to the serious illness and even death. By the definition, an attractor in a certain dynamical system is a set of physical properties toward which this system tends to evolve, regardless of the starting conditions. It is not easy to control chaos and move system from attractor back to the stable state. This is even more difficult in case of hyperchaos with more attractors. Existing control strategies are passive; modify control parameters and wait until system lends in a future, hopefully stable state. At there is a clear need for more efficient control strategy, we propose the optimization of the matrix representing an evolution operator of the system under the control. Matrix elements are system state functions, and function variables are control parameters. Eventually, optimizing this matrix with respect to some goals can help to drive system back to stability. On the case of Samoyed dog lady attacked by methicillin-resistant and multi-species bacterial pathogens, we were able to identify the chaotic system with at least three attractors; two of them leading the system into the illness, and one driving it back to the healthy state. Consecutively, we established the matrix of its evolution operator and discussed some ways of the matrix optimization, in a hope our approach might help to develop therapies that are more efficient. Not of the less importance, we hope our experience with integrative therapy including standard therapeutics, herbal extracts and homeopathic remedies could help a clinician confronted with a similar case. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
