The global construction industry is lagging in transitioning to sustainability, and the Kenyan not excluded. As a result, response, there are policies with specific provisions on SCT. Despite this progress, limited empirical research their scope implementation dynamics. Against backdrop, study examined Kenya's SCT policy regime regarding its priorities, instruments, stakeholder orientation, inc...

Ecosystems often undergo abrupt regime shifts in response to gradual external changes. These shifts are theoretically understood as a regime switch between alternative stable states of the ecosystem dynamical response to smooth changes in external conditions. Usual models introduce nonlinearities in the macroscopic dynamics of the ecosystem that lead to different stable attractors among which t...

We uncover a new transient regime that reconciles the apparent inconsistency of the Martins Shellard one scale damped string evolution model with the initial conditions predicted by the Kibble mechanism for string formation in a second order phase transition. This regime carries (in a short cosmic time ∼ .1tc) the dense string network created by the Kibble mechanism to the (dilute) Kibble regim...

This article suggests that transition strategies are always formulated in the context of specific representations of the regime and the challenges it faces. It is argued that the framing of a regime affects the envisioning of transition strategies. An analysis of the current development agenda for the housing construction sector in Denmark reveals the relevance and impacts of different regime f...

2014 The free growth (at constant temperature) of a columnar hexagonal liquid crystal is described. The chosen material is the hexaoctyloxytriphenylene. Three growth regimes are observed depending upon the value of the supersaturation 0394: a petal-shape regime for 0394 0.2, a dendritic regime for 0.2 0394 0.6 and a dense branching regime for 0394 > 0.6. The first morphological transition ...

We study numerically the changes of the conductance distribution P (g) caused by the transition of the system from the metallic into the insulating regime. Two different scenarios of the transition are discussed and compared: (i) localization in the weakly disordered quasi-one dimensional systems and (ii) disorder-induced localization. Transition from the metallic into the localized regime is a...
