Balancing water resource conservation and food security in China.
China's economic growth is expected to continue into the next decades, accompanied by sustained urbanization and industrialization. The associated increase in demand for land, water resources, and rich foods will deepen the challenge of sustainably feeding the population and balancing agricultural and environmental policies. We combine a hydrologic model with an economic model to project China'...
متن کاملBalancing FPGA Resource Utilities
Balancing the use of FGPA resources such as FPGA slices, block RAMs, and block multipliers is desirable in many FPGA applications. This task can be carried out manually by experienced hardware designers with the use of hardware description languages, such as Verilog and VHDL. However, many users of reconfigurable computers are software developers who depend on hardware synthesis tools or even h...
متن کاملTransformational Change in Environmental and Natural Resource Management
It is widely agreed the Anthropocene has seen an unprecedented decline in the natural resources conditions that have underpinned the economic growth of the last few hundred years. As communities, we have not responded to Boulding’s vision of ‘the coming space ship earth’ although not for want of much official and private effort. As ‘wicked problems’ the impacts have been often ignored or off lo...
متن کاملHierarchy of food needs.
How would it look to apply the principles of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to food management? Why even wrestle with such a conundrum? The Satter Eating Competence Model (ecSatter) stresses joining with individuals right where they are and working within their constraints and circumstances. Rather than emphasizing food selection and portion sizes, ecSatter operationalizes the Dietary Guidelines b...
متن کاملResource Augmentation in Load Balancing
We consider load-balancing in the following setting. The on-line algorithm is allowed to use n machines, whereas the optimal off-line algorithm is limited to m machines, for some fixed m < n. We show that while the greedy algorithm has a competitive ratio which decays linearly in the inverse of n/m, the best on-line algorithm has a ratio which decays exponentially in n/m. Specifically, we give ...
