Integrating top–down and bottom–up approaches to design global change adaptation at the river basin scale [PDF]
The high uncertainty associated with the effect of global change on water resource systems calls for a better combination of conventional top-down and bottom-up approaches, in order to design robust adaptation plans at the local scale. The methodological framework presented in this article introduces bottom-up meets top-down integrated approach to ...

From Top-Down to Bottom-Up Climate Policy: New Challenges in Carbon Market Design [PDF]
The climate policy debate underwent a profound shift between 2009-2016. Prior to that point, efforts at the domestic and international levels focused on broad, top-down strategies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with market-based mechanisms expected to play a key role.

Integrating Top-down and Bottom-up Requirements in eHealth Development: The Case of a Mobile Self-compassion Intervention for People With Newly Diagnosed Cancer [PDF]
BackgroundPsychosocial eHealth interventions for people with cancer are promising in reducing distress; however, their results in terms of effects and adherence rates are quite mixed. Developing interventions with a solid evidence

Efficient coordination of top-down and bottom-up models for energy system design: An algorithmic approach [PDF]
To account for endogeneity effects in, e.g., energy demand, modern bottom-up energy system models are often linked to a top-down model describing the macroeconomic system. Solving such linked models involves iteratively passing solutions from one model to the other and vice versa until convergence is reached, which can be computationally demanding ...

How to Design Trade Agreements in Services: Top Down or Bottom Up? [PDF]
This article deals with claims, recently raised in various circles, that structural faults in the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) have prevented WTO Members from advancing services liberalization under the Agreement. The GATS is generally associated in this context with a bottom-up (positive-list) scheduling approach where the sectors on ...

“Top-down” and “bottom-up” strategies for wafer-scaled miniaturized gas sensors design and fabrication [PDF]
AbstractManufacture of large-scale patterned nanomaterials via top-down techniques, such as printing and slurry coating, have been used for fabrication of miniaturized gas sensors. However, the reproducibility and uniformity of the sensors in wafer-scale fabrication are still a challenge. In this work, a “top-down” and “bottom-up” combined strategy was

Bottom-Up and Top-Down Approaches for the Design of Neuromorphic Processing Systems: Tradeoffs and Synergies Between Natural and Artificial Intelligence [PDF]
While Moore's law has driven exponential computing power expectations, its nearing end calls for new avenues for improving the overall system performance. One of these avenues is the exploration of alternative brain-inspired computing architectures that aim at achieving the flexibility and computational efficiency of biological neural processing ...

Top-down design of magnonic crystals from bottom-up magnetic nanoparticles through protein arrays [PDF]
We show that chemical fixation enables top-down micro-machining of large periodic 3D arrays of protein-encapsulated magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) without loss of order. We machined 3D micro-cubes containing a superlattice of NPs by means of focused ion beam etching, integrated an individual micro-cube to a thin-film coplanar waveguide and measured the ...
