Global Cities, Global (in)Securities: An Introduction

Global Timed Bisimulation: An Introduction

Bisimulations are a broadly used formalism to deene the semantics of process algebras. In particular, by means of weak bisimulation most of the internal activity of processes may be abstracted. Unfortunately, this is not fully accomplished: for instance, the internal choice operator becomes non-associative since bisimulation can see the branching structure of processes. In this paper we propose...

Global Sensitivity Analysis: An Introduction

This presentation aims to introduce global sensitivity analysis (SA), targeting an audience unfamiliar with the topic, and to give practical hints about the associated advantages and the effort needed. To this effect, we shall review some techniques for sensitivity analysis, including those that are not global, by applying them to a simple example. This will give the audience a chance to contra...

An Introduction to Global Supersymmetry

Global / globalizing cities.

Along with the rise in research on globalization, the concept of globalization has become a subject to a more critical scrutiny. While majority agree that it represents a serious challenge to the state-centrist assumptions of most previous social science, doubts about its newness, inevitability and epoch-making qualities are also being raised. Others argue that the globalization literature neg...

Needed: Global Collaboration for Comparative Research on Cities and Health

Over half of the world’s population lives in cities and United Nations (UN) demographers project an increase of 2.5 billion more urban dwellers by 2050. Yet there is too little systematic comparative research on the practice of urban health policy and management (HPAM), particularly in the megacities of middle-income and developing nations. We make a case for creating a global database on citie...
