Néolibéralisme et Décentralisation dans les Etats Fédéraux
Nuevo mundo - Mundos Nuevos, 2008 This paper attempts to fix the parameters of the the debate over decentralisation in France through a study of the situation in the federal States of Canada and the United States of America. After having established the perpetual nature of this debate in

Decentralised process modelling [PDF]
, 1995 In this paper, we advocate decentralised process modelling and suggest that understanding and modelling the development processes of individual development participants is the key to supporting collaborative development. Our approach relies on recognising individual developers' states (“situations”) by analysing local development histories.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Chitin‐chitosan cryogels with degrees of N‐acetylation from 12.2% to 71.4% are fabricated by dissolution, coagulation and lyophilization for the sequestration of heavy metals from water. Colorimetry and differential pulse voltammetry showed controlled adsorption and desorption capacities for As5+, Co2+ and Cu2+, making this material attractive for ...

THE IMPLICATIONS OF FEDERALISM AND DECENTRALISATION ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN ETHIOPIA
Potchefstroom Electronic Law Journal, 2012 This paper analyses impacts of the federal system and the decentralisation of functions to the district level on Ethiopia's socio-economic development. Firstly we will highlight the principles of the Ethiopian federal system as well as those of the 2001 ...

Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.

Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...

From Lab to Landscape: Environmental Biohybrid Robotics for Ecological Futures
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This Perspective explores environmental biohybrid robotics, integrating living tissues, microorganisms, and insects for operation in real‐world ecosystems. It traces the leap from laboratory experiments to forests, wetlands, and urban environments and discusses key challenges, development pathways, and opportunities for ecological monitoring and ...

Commonwealth Journal of Local Governance, 2009 This paper summarises key findings from a comprehensive analysis commissioned by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) of the nature of decentralisation in the three East African countries: Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. The specific objectives

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Intelligent Sky Guardians (InSkyGuard) is introduced as a four‐drone swarm that autonomously detects, tracks, and safely captures rogue drones using a coordinated net system. Computer vision and leader–follower control architecture enable synchronized enclosure, while integrated failsafes enhance system reliability. Validated through closed‐environment
