Sustainable Lifeways: Cultural Persistence in an Ever-Changing Environment

Introduction: Sustainable Lifeways

A ll organisms and species respond to unpredictable variability in their environment. For individual humans and for the societies in which they live, cultural responses to environmental risk are embedded in technology , practice, and ideology. By their collective actions, societies can mitigate or exacerbate immediate and long-term risk in their environment. In addition, all societies, ancient ...

Evolving Information Systems: Meeting the Ever-changing Environment

To meet the demands of organisations and their ever changing environment, information systems are required which are able to evolve to the same extent as organisations do. Such a system has to support changes of all timeand application-dependent aspects. In this paper, requirements and a conceptual framework for evolving information systems are presented. This framework includes an architecture...

Insulin Delivery: An Ever Changing Frontier

Insulin transport across vascular endothelial cells is the rate limiting step in its time action profile. Glucose uptake in response to insulin is estimated through different techniques and is influenced by insulin sensitivity of the tissue. Glucose clamp technique and minimal model imply an incremental increase in the levels of insulin in the ISF compartment evidenced by increase in glucose up...

Measuring the effects of an ever-changing environment on malaria control.

The effectiveness of malaria control measures depends not only on the potency of the control measures themselves but also upon the influence of variables associated with the environment. Environmental variables have the capacity either to enhance or to impair the desired outcome. An optimal outcome in the field, which is ultimately the real goal of vaccine research, will result from prior knowl...
