We apply ideas from renormalization theory to models of cluster formation in nucleation and growth processes. We study a simple case of the Becker-Döring system of equations and show how a novel coarsegraining procedure applied to the cluster aggregation space affects the coagulation and fragmentation rate coefficients. A dynamical renormalization structure is found to underlie the Becker-Dörin...

In his article “Teaching Economics in the 21st Century”, William Becker [2000] once again states that the field of economics has placed too little value on the importance of teaching in recent decades [Becker, 1997; 2000]. To improve teaching and learning, Becker suggests that we should ask the question, “What changes in the way we teach economics in our colleges and universities will enhance t...

We describe a man with Becker muscular dystrophy whose weakness was minimal in contrast to that of his more severely affected nephews. This man had a Klinefelter karyotype (47,XXY) and his mild symptoms may be attributed to him being heterozygous for the muscular dystrophy gene. This is the first report of a person with both Klinefelter's syndrome and Becker muscular dystrophy. This combination...

Nucleation is considered for nonzero rate of change of the dimensionless barrier B, which is characterized by a finite, slowly varying "nonstationary index" N∝-(dB/dt). In the standard adiabatic approximation it is assumed that after the start of nucleation an N-independent nucleation flux is established instantaneously, with a quasi-steady-state (QSS) value determined by the current barrier B(...

This article provides a new reading of the crossover between youth subculture and drug consumption, and seeks to demonstrate that drug prohibition has entered a legitimation crisis in social and political policy (Habermas, 1975). This article argues that contemporary drug normalisation is at the centre of the apparent failure of drug prohibition to understand and respond to the growth in opposi...

Abstract A modification, based on asymptotic behavior, of the Becker-Döring system is introduced in which the concentration of monomers is slaved to the concentrations of the other clusters. This modified system has the same continuum limit as usual Becker-Döring system. For one member of these it is proved, for compact initial data, that all solutions will converge to a unique self-similar sol...

The goal of this paper is a reassessment of the Action Workflow approach, a well-known application of the Language Action Perspective (LAP). Based on empirical work, we will assess the Action Workflow approach with reference to its suitability for the modeling of business processes. Three case studies are presented, and the Guidelines of Modeling developed by Becker et al. [Becker et al., 1999]...
