Algebraic system theory emphasizes qualitative aspects of systems to the extent that we are interested in properties such as survival and breakdown. This is achieved by determining complexity bounds of the system's design as compared to the complexity of its control. By the fact that algebraic ...
The book is based on Krohn-Rhodes complexity or algebraic complexity of automata and sequential machines. We use the tools of this mathematical framework to link them to economic dynamics, economic decision-making, economics of planning and decentralization and the economics of organizations. Algebraic...
In Section 2, I briefly set out the key conceptual tools for analysing inter and intra-household relations in a context of coping with and adapting to climatic variability, in this case, persistent drought leading to water and pasture scarcity. This is followed in Section 3 by a discussion of...
Spending on consumer services, which accounts for 47% of U.S. GDP, is normally quite stable over the business cycle. In a typical recession, service spending grows at a slower than normal rate but doesn’t actually fall. Not so this time. Restaurants, hotels, theaters, airlines, and so ...
(61%) were worried about a possible breakdown of their relationships (“I'm not sure that he will return to me”; “I am worried that we will break the habit of each other and will not be able to be together”). We can refer to this cluster asbalanced love with moderately close ...
“p21-Venus”. The full-length coding sequence for bovinep21(NM_001098958.1) was amplified from GV-stage oocytes (Figure S1C). The primer sequences were designed on the basis of Primer-BLAST (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/tools/primer-blast/index.cgi?LINK_LOC=BlastHome); the PCR (...
She recommends first "resting your hair," which means taking a break from stressors like heavy-handed brushing and pulling and not using tools like hair dryers and curling and straightening irons. Ashton said that, for her, resting her hair also means wearing more hats and headscarves. ...
