The revival of the ideas of Alfred Schütz among Austrian economists is examined. In particular, this paper looks at Schütz’s work on intersubjectivity as an alternative approach to market coordination. As opposed to the rational maximization of individuals, some have argued that Schütz’s concept of intersubjective structures of meaning offers a better model for understanding how individuals act...

Technological transitions generally involve multiple transition steps. Due to path dependence, an initial transition step may cut off other possible development trajectories, which later may turn out to be more desirable. For this reason, initial transition steps should allow for future flexibility, where we define flexibility as robustness regarding changing evidence and changing preferences. ...

A survey of the current field over the South Scotia Ridge, obtained with a lowered Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (LADCP), is presented. There is a pattern of northward (southward) flow on the western (eastern) side of each of four deep passages in the ridge, which is supported by tracer measurements. The net full-depth LADCP-referenced geostrophic transport over the ridge is 2277 Sv (1 Sv=1...

The Massive Ordnance Penetrator(MOP) has been developed to destroy deeply buried nuclear components by controlled release from a B2 or B52 airplane. This type of release must be cockpit software controlled by the Tactical Optimal Strategy Game(TOSG) Protocol to optimally determine the war game aspects of the dueling from other countries' MOP releases, and the depth at which the MOP explosions c...

The biological evolution of complex organisms, in which the functioning of genes is interdependent, has been analysed as “hill-climbing” on NK fitness landscapes through random mutation and natural selection [Kauffman, S.A., 1993. The Origins of Order. Self-organization and Selection in Evolution. Oxford University Press, New York & Oxford]. In evolutionary economics, NK fitness landscapes have...

Takayasu's arteritis (TA), of which the first case was described by Takayasu in 1905 (1), is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology that primarily involves the aorta, its major branches, and the pulmonary and coronary arteries. Synonymssuch as aortic arch syndrome, pulseless disease and aortitis syndrome reflect this anatomic localization. TAappears to be most commonin East Asia inc...

Recent research has shown that across several countries there is an ongoing decline in marriages arranged by the parents of the spouses (AM). This transition has been associated with industrialization, higher human capital investment, incorporation of younger cohorts into paid jobs, urbanization and the dissolution of extended households prominent features of the modernization process. This pap...

In this paper, through the formulation of an alternate conceptual model, author links concepts functional entrepreneurship and institutions, understood as a set categories —formal informal rules— showing complex, dynamic interactive character. Furthermore, aim paper is to introduce exploration concept institutional coordination or positive interaction essential element for neo economics analysi...
