Pressure points
It's a familiar sight on many Caribbean and other tropical islands: as dawn breaks, the gleaming hulls of the massive cruise liners can be seen in the distance as they approach port ready to disgorge thousands of tourists for a day's sightseeing. Many islands are big enough and have sufficient infrastructure for this to pass off with minimal environmental impact but a growing number of tourists...
متن کاملTopological Pressure via Saddle Points
Let Λ be a compact locally maximal invariant set of a C2diffeomorphism f : M → M on a smooth Riemannian manifold M . In this paper we study the topological pressure Ptop(φ) (with respect to the dynamical system f |Λ) for a wide class of Hölder continuous potentials and analyze its relation to dynamical, as well as geometrical, properties of the system. We show that under a mild non-uniform hype...
متن کاملPressure points: school executive and educational change
Recent international research has demonstrated a relationship between physical health and occupational status/level of appointment: people who hold higher level positions enjoy better physical health on average than those in lower positions. Researchers have speculated that this may be in part due to the lower levels of control exercised over pace and timetabling of work by those occupying lowe...
متن کاملPressure Points: Environmental Degradation, Migration and Conflict
T he environmental refugee has appeared in the literature on environment and security, and with it the refugee as both a cause and victim of conflict. Some fear environmental degradation will produce "waves of environmental refugees that spill across borders with destabilizing effects" on both domestic order and international stability (Homer-Dixon 1991:77). Others focus on Africa, as the presu...
متن کاملThe role of equal pressure points in understanding pulmonary diseases.
THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM is composed of a conducting part and a respiratory part. The conducting airways, i.e., the trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles, differ in architecture. Both trachea and bronchi are surrounded by rings of hyaline cartilage for support, whereas the bronchiolar wall does not contain any cartilage and therefore tends to collapse in response to changes in intrapleural or airway ...
