Sustainable futures: Multi-disciplinary perspectives on multi-level transitions
What is the disparity between the climate and resource challenges we face and the measures in place to meet them? This special issue addresses that question by outlining various aspects of current problems, more sustainable alternatives and elements of transition pathways to achieve a more sustainable future. Twenty five years ago the Brundtland Commission highlighted the urgent need to address...
متن کاملNon-adiabatic transitions in multi-level systems
In a quantum system with a smoothly and slowly varying Hamiltonian, which approaches a constant operator at times t → ±∞, the transition probabilities between adiabatic states are exponentially small. They are characterized by an exponent that depends on a phase integral along a path around a set of branch points connecting the energy level surfaces in complex time. Only certain sequences of br...
متن کاملIndividualist and Multi-level Perspectives on Selection in Structured Populations
Recent years have seen a renewed debate over the importance of group selection, especially as it relates to the evolution of altruism. One feature of this debate has been disagreement over which kinds of processes should be described in terms of selection at multiple levels, within and between groups. Adapting some earlier discussions, we present a mathematical framework that can be used to exp...
متن کاملISVH – A multi-disciplinary society
The International Society for Vascular Health (ISVH) was established in June 2005 as a non-profit making society under French Law (1901). Publication of ISVH bylaws and establishment of the Executive Committee were achieved in August 2005. The first question posed by the Board was: “Why yet another International Society?” The unanimous conclusion of the ISVH Board was that there exists an urgen...
متن کاملEducating Multi-disciplinary Design Teams
Designing interactive systems requires diverse expertise, which is why most successful design teams are multi-disciplinary. Unfortunately, managing such teams can be difficult, because team members often do not communicate effectively with each another. When we teach interaction design, we address this problem explicitly, with a two-fold approach: First, we explain the value systems and some of...
