Equitable income distribution is desirable for moral, economic, and social reasons. Recent studies, however, indicate that improved allocation will result in increased environmental impacts due to our socio-economic system’s current settings. Therefore, we explored the key aspects of a system can more evenly reallocate natural economic resources while reducing negative impacts. We found capital...

The industrial system operates through different principles of system development than the ecosystem. Industrial ecology can be a fruitful metaphor for facilitating the development of industrial systems toward the principles of system development of ecosystems. In this paper the industrial ecosystem analogy includes the four ecosystem principles of roundput, diversity, locality and gradual chan...

Geographic routing consists in using the position information of nodes to assist in the routing process, and has been a widely studied subject in sensor networks. One of the outstanding challenges facing geographic routing has been its applicability. Authors either make some broad assumptions on an idealized version of wireless networks which are often unverifiable, or they use costly methods t...

The "four principles plus scope" approach provides a simple, accessible, and culturally neutral approach to thinking about ethical issues in health care. The approach, developed in the United States, is based on four common, basic prima facie moral commitments--respect for autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice--plus concern for their scope of application. It offers a common, basic ...

in this paper, experimentally derived correlations of heat transfer and pressure drop are used in a pareto based multi-objective optimization (moo) approach to find the best possible combinations of heat transfer and pressure drop of tio2-water nanofluid flow in tubes fitted with multiple twisted tape inserts in different arrangement. in this study there are four independent design variables: t...

awareness and preparedness for prevention of crisis plays an important role in minimizing its impacts and fatalities. this study suggests how to enhance the efficiency of crisis management through applying a resilience engineering (re) approach. the aim of this study was to design a questionnaire to assess crisis management based on re approach. in this descriptive survey, four principles of re...
