How evolution draws trade-offs
Recent empirical evidence suggest that tradeoff shapes can evolve, challenging the classica image of their high entrenchment. Here we model the evolution of the physiological mechanism that controls the allocation of resources to two traits, by mutating the expression and the conformation of its constitutive hormones and receptors. We show that trade-off shapes do indeed evolve in this model th...
متن کاملSustainability trade-offs in the planning and design of cluster scale greywater reuse systems
It is becoming increasingly accepted that the conventional approach to urban water resources management (WRM) is unsustainable and that securing urban water supplies for both anthropogenic and environmental uses requires a different approach. Water sensitive urban design (WSUD) is a holistic approach that seeks to integrate the management of the potable water, stormwater and wastewater cycles t...
متن کاملEnhancing wireless networks with caching: Asymptotic laws, sustainability & trade-offs
We investigate on the sustainability of multihop wireless communications in the context of Information-Centric Networks, when content is replicated in caches over the network. The problem is cast in a flat wireless network for a given content popularity distribution and sized by three parameters, (i) the network size N, (ii) the content volume M and (iii) the cache capacity K per node. The obje...
متن کاملA sustainability framework for assessing trade-offs in ecosystem services
Achieving sustainability, i.e., meeting the needs of current populations without compromising the needs of future generations, is the major challenge facing global society in the 21st century. Navigating the inherent trade-offs between provisioning, regulating, cultural, and supporting ecosystem services, and doing so in a way that does not compromise natural capital needed to provide services ...
