Ripples in magnetic or electrostatic confinement fields give rise to trapping separatrices, and the conventional neoclassical helical ripple transport describes phenomena coming from the collisional trapping/detrapping of particles in the helical ripple wells. Our experiments and novel theory have now characterized a new kind of neoclassical transport processes arising from chaotic (collisionle...

Ecological economics arose in the final decades of the 20th century out of concerns for environmental protection and economic sustainability. It was largely a response to a real or perceived lack of physical and biological underpinnings in neoclassical economics. It was also intended to infuse economics with a moral philosophy, in contrast with the amoral implications of neoclassical models por...

E is witnessing the solid beginnings of a revolution in microeconomic theory. Research has demonstrated a need for boundedly rational models of firms and markets, and their potential for ascendancy into legitimate intellectual competition with neoclassical theory.1 The neoclassical research program, by which we mean the broad body of models and inferences based on the premise that all economic ...

Survey data are used to investigate the very long spending lags estimated in neoclassical studies of investment expenditures. Neoclassical investment theory has trouble explaining the length of these lags. By recognizing the Austrian concept of the capital structure and applying it to the problem, the present paper explains the length of these lags as proceeding from interactions between types ...

This paper pits neoclassical theory against prospect theory by investigating several clean tests of the competing hypotheses. Consistent with previous work, the field experimental data suggest that prospect theory adequately organizes behavior among inexperienced consumers, whereas consumers with intense market experience behave largely in accordance with neoclassical predictions. The data indi...

Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify and extract the implications of critical realism for science, technology and innovation policy-making as one of the later research traditions in social sciences. Nevertheless, its main focus, according to the different stages of the policy-making cycle and extent of its contributing factors, is on the stage of "policy evaluation". Methods: Thi...

This paper represents a modified datapath merging technique to amortize the configuration latency of mapping datapaths on reconfigurable fabric in Run-Time Reconfigurable Systems (RTR). This method embeds together the different Data Flow Graphs (DFGs), corresponding to the loop kernels to create a single datapath (merged datapath) instead of multiple datapaths. The DFGs are merged in steps wher...
