Newton's three laws of motion are fundamental principles in physics. The first law, also known as the law of inertia, states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will continue in motion with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. This ...
The three-pillar conception of (social, economic and environmental) sustainability, commonly represented by three intersecting circles with overall sustainability at the centre, has become ubiquitous. With a view of identifying the genesis and theoretical foundations of this conception, this paper reviews ...

The less obvious thing that Trivers found--and demonstrated with the neat logic of game theory--is that reciprocal altruism could thrive even among organisms incapable of “understanding" the concept of reciprocation. The only prerequisite is that they be able to recognize individual organisms and ...
Anyway, one of the things I really like about Hunt and Thomas' book is that they distill software development into three fundamental laws. A recent code review got me thinking about them again, so I decided that this might be a good time to revisit them in my blog. Law #1: Do Not ...
This is a fundamental law of thermodynamics. When the demand for electricity is less than the generation capacity, the plants are throttled back a bit or a unit or two is taken off the grid. The power does not vanish, it is not made. It is like driving your car down the highway. ...
in words and reveal them by means of logical deduction. For all things, than we. - in order to search things as they were, they need to find different places of the same opinion.. (Note: Mohist logic and epistemology were the strongest then.) ...
However, testing the correctness of individual layers in isolation is not enough to verify the overall correctness of the system and it is often necessary to verify the effects of component collaboration. In particular, the response process and the business logic layer interactions with the other ...
Human beings have a tendency, perhaps especially in times of crisis, to assume an additive effect of events as a rational explanatory practice. The logic of an additive, or cumulative, effect is that more must mean “more”, and often must also mean “worse”. This is commonly known as ...
adheres to the Marxian tradition of restoring capitalism to a mode of production centered on two relationships: the exchange between goods producers and the labor–capital relationship (Chavance2009). However, unlike Marxists, Régulationists argue that the two fundamental relations are not static and...
