Observing the Environment of Technology

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 423-433, March/April 2025.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the conceptualisation of technology as an autopoietic system, addressing the limitations of instrumentalist, deterministic and human‐centred perspectives in understanding the relationship between technology and society. By framing technology as a self‐referential, operationally closed system, the analysis highlights its ...

Reconstruction of vertical and L-shaped ancient Egyptian sundials and methods for measuring time

open access: yes, 2014
The article presents the results of the study of design features of vertical and L-shaped ancient Egyptian sundials. With the help of astronomical methods were developed their models, based on which the reconstruction of a sundial was held.

Companion cropping for organic field vegetables (OF0181) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Typical organic crop rotations are extensive with at least one year in four as a fertility building crop. However, the economic viability of organic systems may be compromised by having 75% or less of the farm productive at one time, limited further by ...

Seeing culture from below: Counter‐curating, counter‐ethnography, counter‐mapping

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2025.
Short Abstract This paper describes a post‐2010 expansion in popular agency vis‐à‐vis mapping, curating, and heritage‐making, using Benedict Anderson's ‘census, map, museum’ as a point of interlocution. We argue that this shift is in large part a product of wider structural shifts in cultural production, and focuses on case studies in ‘museum protest ...

Simulation of C and N in the soil microbial biomass after straw Incorporation into soil

open access: yesItalian Journal of Agronomy, 2006
Straw incorporation into soil seems to limit N leaching as well as improving soil structure and contributing to C storage in soil. A better understanding of its effect on the dynamics of soil N can be reached using a model simulating C and N contents in ...

Are We There Yet? A Critical Experimental Assessment of the Application of Induced Polarization for Monitoring Geochemical Processes

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract Spectral induced polarization (SIP) can provide valuable information about (bio)geochemical processes taking place in the poorly accessible subsurface. The method is sensitive to reactions that alter the solid‐water interface. Here, we critically evaluate the effectiveness of SIP to monitor geochemical processes by focusing on a model ...
