This article argues that industrial ecology has, to date, largely engaged with the ecological sciences at a superficial level, which has both attracted criticism of the field and limited its practical application for sustainable industrial development. On the basis of an analysis of the principle of succession, the role of waste, and the concept of diversity, the article highlights some of the ...

The main objects of study in this paper are those functionals that analytic the sense they annihilate non-commutative disc algebra. In classical univariate case, a theorem F. and M. Riesz implies such must be given as integration against an absolutely continuous measure on circle. We develop generalizations result to multivariate setting, upon reinterpreting result. one direction, we show GNS r...

A B S T R A C T This article explores how two different kinds of subjects, an architect-cum-digital media artist and an engineer, tease out and negotiate ideas from alien contexts. Brought together by a desire to explore the cybridity of physicality through artistic expressions, we recognise the need for a new language and ways of speaking that open potentials for the creation of new realities....

Deformable models in the “physically-based” paradigm are almost always formulated in an adhoc fashion and are not related to physical reality. We reinterpret these techniques by putting them into a framework of robust statistics and using this framework to analyze the problems and ad-hoc solutions found in common physically-based formulations. These include incorrect prior shape models; bad rel...

Abstract Since its inception, the "No Free Lunch" theorem (NFL) has concerned the application of symmetry results rather than the symmetries themselves. In our view, the conflation of result and application obscures the simplicity, generality, and power of the symmetries involved. This paper separates result from application, focusing on and clarifying the nature of underlying symmetries. The r...

INTRODUCTION Ideas of reference (IOR), paranoia and social anxiety are features of schizophrenia-spectrum disorders, which appear to be conceptually related; however, the precise nature of these relationships is unclear. These relationships may be partially explained by perceived intentionality (PI), a social-cognitive bias for perceiving other people's actions during unpleasant situations as b...
