As a kind of mode and stage, Eco-Industrial Parks (EIPs) is of great importance in developing circular economy. Therefore, inquiring deeply into the theory of EIPs and devoting great efforts into its practice constitute primary projects of developing circular economy. This paper analyzes the interrelationship between circular economy and eco-industry, i.e. the intrinsic quality of circular econ...

Since the development of the phenomenological method by Husserl, a variety of thinkers and researchers have contributed to an intense debate regarding the ontological and epistemological bases of Phenomenology, as well as its applicability to the inquiry of the human condition. This dialogue has spun an area of phenomenological research known as existentialphenomenological psychology, which has...

Electronic marketplaces are a popular phenomenon, both for academics and for practitioners. During the last two to four years we have seen several emarketplaces trying to find their niches. One of the most discussed e-marketplace, especially in the business press, is Covisint, the “big” e-marketplace of the car industry. Because Covisint is so well known, it has become an example and a model fo...

The current literature of regional agglomerations faces the fundamental problem that it is focused on observing and explaining the concentration of economic activity in a defined location (a region or a state for instance) with different approaches. This could be attributed to the fact that many of the existing approaches were developed from case study research of existing agglomerations (Becat...

Despite their major differences, there is one notable area of agreement between psychodynamic and behavioral models of addiction: both place significant emphasis on past experience. For Freud especially, the famous line from Wordsworth’s poem, “The child is the father of the man,” was a profound truth, and he was convinced that adult character is shaped during the first 5 or 6 years of life. Ch...

In the following discussion I will examine the application of Wittgenstein’s concept of family resemblance to genre theory. Despite its popularity among literary theorists, there is sometimes a discrepancy between the loose concept of family resemblance, at least in its negative-radical version, and the practical assumptions made about genres. In order to overcome the inadequacies of existing a...

In this paper a discrete-time observer-based approach to Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) for industrial robotic manipulators is presented and experimentally tested. In order to counteract the effects of unmodeled dynamics and disturbances, a time-delayed estimate of such effects is adopted. Remarkably, the observer is designed directly in the discrete-time domain. The performance of the pro...

Constructivists about memory argue that memory is a capacity for building representations of past events from a generalized information store (e.g., De Brigard, in Synthese 191:155–185, 2014a; Michaelian, in Philos Psychol 24:323–342, 2012). The view is motivated by thememory errors discovered in cognitive psychology. Little has been known about the neural mechanisms by which false memories are...
