Outward Appearance or Inward Significance? On Experts' Perspectives When Studying and Solving Water Scarcity

Inward and Outward Integral Equations and the Kkr Method

Our main goals have been to calculate photonic bands on various periodic dielectric lattices, to clarify some controversy regarding existence of a photonic band gap for fcc lattice of dielectric spheres [1], and finally treat impurities in a photonic crystal [2]. Motivated by the search for a photonic band gap [3] we have tried to adapt one of the standard methods of electron band theory namely...

LOOKING OUTWARD OR TURNING INWARD? Motivations for Development Decisions in California Central Cities and Suburbs

The author probes for differences among central cities, suburbs, and rural communities in the perceived importance of various motivations for development decisions, drawing on a mail survey of city managers/administrators in California. Central-city respondents are more inclined to “look outward” in making land-use decisions, attributing greater importance to certain regional economic and devel...

Water access, water scarcity, and climate change.

This article investigates the approaches of the various discourses operating in the water sector and how they address the issues of scarcity and equitable access under projected climate change impacts. Little synergy exists between the different approaches dealing with these issues. Whilst being a sustainable development and water resources management issue, a holistic view of access, scarcity ...

Photonic Band Gap Calculations : Inward and Outward Integral

Differences in intersaccadic adaptation transfer between inward and outward adaptation.

Saccadic adaptation is a mechanism to increase or decrease the amplitude gain of subsequent saccades, if a saccade is not on target. Recent research has shown that the mechanism of gain increasing, or outward adaptation, and the mechanism of gain decreasing, or inward adaptation, rely on partly different processes. We investigate how outward and inward adaptation of reactive saccades transfer t...
