Technology assessment between risk, uncertainty and ignorance [PDF]
, 2012 The use of most if not all technologies is accompanied by negative side effects, While we may profit from today’s technologies, it is most often future generations who bear most risks.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Numerous traits that define behaviour, development, life‐history and species ecology are expressed as dichotomous alternative phenotypes (e.g. morphological and behavioural polyphenisms, reproductive vs. non‐reproductive states, movement vs. philopatry).

The Relations of Order and the Identity of the Indiscernible: Leibniz´s Solution to the Problem of the Indistinction between Repose and Uniform Movement [PDF]
The indistinction between repose and uniform movement exposed in the principle of inertia marks one of the most famous dissertations: the discussion between Newton and Leibniz. Through their respective conceptions of space, both seek to solve the problem

Tidal Speed Simulation of Seawater against Torque (τ) and Power (P) Produced by the Darrieus Turbine Type H [PDF]
, 2018 The depletion of fossil energy reserves and environmental issues currently play an important role in developing the concept of renewable energy, so that the search for new renewable energy is carried out very intensively. One type of renewable new energy

A large deviation principle for last passage times in an asymmetric Bernoulli potential
, 2018 We prove a large deviation principle and give an expression for the rate function, for the last passage time in a Bernoulli environment. The model is exactly solvable and its invariant version satisfies a Burke-type property. Finally, we compute explicit limiting logarithmic moment generating functions for both the classical and the invariant models ...

Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT With this contribution, an attempt is being made to chart the timeline of the invention of the European hard‐paste porcelain based on historical documents. They were evaluated to trace the development lines from Tschirnhaus's early experiments with burning mirrors and lenses in the 1680s to finding ‘wax porcelain’ around 1694 to the ...

J-2X, The Engine of the Future [PDF]
, 2009 My project was two-fold, with both parts involving the J-2X Upper Stage engine (which will be used on both the Ares I and V). Mainly, I am responsible for using a program called Iris to create visual represen tations of the rocket engine's telemetry ...

A strong maximum principle for minimizers of the one-phase Bernoulli problem
Indiana University Mathematics JournalWe prove a strong maximum principle for minimizers of the one-phase Alt-Caffarelli functional. We use this to construct a Hardt-Simon-type foliation associated to any 1-homogenous global minimizer.

Bioethics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Critics of human genetic engineering warn that if ever put into practice, this will diminish human diversity, especially regarding skin color. Nonetheless, given the solid and shameful causal link between skin color and discrimination, the provocative question is whether to manipulate this feature and create children whose stereotype‐aligning ...

How do ecologists estimate occupancy in practice?
Ecography, EarlyView.Over 20 years ago, ecologists were introduced to the site occupancy model (SOM) for estimating occupancy rates from detection‐nondetection data. In the ensuing decades, the SOM and its hierarchical modeling extensions have become mainstays of quantitative ecology, and estimating occupancy rates has become one of the most common applications of ...
