Inspired by insights from both sides of the science and humanities divide, this dissertation surveys the terrain of sustainability before swooping upon our relationship with technology as key to its realisation. It assesses each element of the classic I=PAT equation and determines that humanity’s current trajectory is not sustainable. Because effective population (P) policy acts slowly, and because reducing affluence (A) is incompatible with human aspiration, only technology (T) might moderate human impact (I) to sustainable proportions. Building on a comparative analysis of three case studies on chemical herbicides, nuclear power, and robotics and artificial intelligence that identify significant problems with present governance approaches, this study outlines an alternative. Rejecting the attitude that technological ‘innovation’ and ‘disruption’ are unquestionably good and inevitable, it argues that if sustainability is to be realised, humanity must wrest back control over the

  • Similarities in Body Size Distributions of Small-Bodied Flying Vertebrates
    Evolutionary Ecology Research, 2004, 6: 783–797 Similarities in body size distributions of small-bodied flying vertebrates Brian A. Maurer,* James H. Brown, Tamar Dayan, Brian J. Enquist, S.K. Morgan Ernest, Elizabeth A. Hadly, John P. Haskell, David Jablonski, Kate E. Jones, Dawn M. Kaufman, S. Kathleen Lyons, Karl J. Niklas, Warren P. Porter, Kaustuv Roy, Felisa A. Smith, Bruce Tiffney and Michael R. Willig National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS), Working Group on Body Size in Ecology and Paleoecology, 735 State Street, Suite 300, Santa Barbara, CA 93101-5504, USA ABSTRACT Since flight imposes physical constraints on the attributes of a flying organism, it is expected that the distribution of body sizes within clades of small-bodied flying vertebrates should share a similar pattern that reflects these constraints. We examined patterns in similarities of body mass distributions among five clades of small-bodied endothermic vertebrates (Passeriformes, Apodiformes + Trochiliformes, Chiroptera, Insectivora, Rodentia) to examine the extent to which these distributions are congruent among the clades that fly as opposed to those that do not fly. The body mass distributions of three clades of small-bodied flying vertebrates show significant divergence from the distributions of their sister clades. We examined two alternative hypotheses for similarities among the size frequency distributions of the five clades. The hypothesis of functional symmetry corresponds to patterns of similarity expected if body mass distributions of flying clades are constrained by similar or identical functional limitations. The hypothesis of phylogenetic symmetry corresponds to patterns of similarity expected if body mass distributions reflect phylogenetic relationships among clades.

Bodies of Knowledge: The Presentation of Personified Figures in Engraved Allegorical Series Produced in the Netherlands, 1548-1600 Abstract During the second half of the sixteenth century, engraved series of allegorical subjects featuring personified figures flourished for several decades in the Low Countries before falling into disfavor. Designed by the Netherlandsâ?? leading artists and cut by professional engravers, such series were collected primarily by the urban intelligentsia, who appreciated the use of personification for the representation of immaterial concepts and for the transmission of knowledge, both in prints and in public spectacles. The pairing of embodied forms and serial format was particularly well suited to the portrayal of abstract themes with multiple components, such as the Four Elements, Four Seasons, Seven Planets, Five Senses, or Seven Virtues and Seven Vices. While many of the themes had existed prior to their adoption in Netherlandish graphics, their pictorial rendering had rarely been so pervasive or systematic.

En 1859, il dépose son « brevet d'un moteur à gaz et à air moteur à combustion interne à deux temps. Il le fabrique en 1860 et en 400 exemplaires qui servirent notamment pour le premier bateau à moteur en 1861 sur la Seine. Ce moteur consommait 18 litres de mélange gazeux pour développer une puissance de deux chevaux. En 1883, il réalise le moteur à quatre temps en se basant sur le principe du cycle de Beau de Rochas. La même année, son automobile avec moteur à gaz parcourt 9 kilomètres de Paris à Joinville-le-Pont en trois heures.

  • The Jevons Paradox and Energy Efficiency
    The Jevons Paradox and Energy Efficiency A Brief Overview of Its Origins and Relevance to Utility Energy Efficiency Programs February 2, 2011 AUTHORS William Steinhurst, Vladlena Sabodash Table of Contents 1. INTRODUCTION TO THE REBOUND EFFECT..............................................................1 2. RELEVANCE TO CURRENT ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAMS...........................2 3. REFERENCES: .......................................................................................................................7 1. Introduction to the Rebound Effect During the last decades various energy efficiency policies have been implemented in order to reduce dependence on electric energy and conventional fossil fuels, reduce consumption of energy, and cut resulting environmental effects. However, improved energy efficiency allows a given quantity of energy services (heating, lighting, motor drive) to be obtained with a smaller cost for purchased energy than would otherwise be needed. As a consequence, 1. an energy customer may need to spend less to purchase the same amount of energy service and, so, may have more disposable income which may lead to demand for more goods and services, possibly including more of the same energy service that was made more efficient; 2. the unit cost of an energy service may be smaller because less purchased energy is needed to deliver the same amount of energy service which, in turn, may cause an increase in demand for that energy service; and 3. reduced demand for energy in the market as a whole may lead to a lower unit cost of energy (through either a lower clearing price in competitive markets or a lower marginal dispatch cost in price-regulated markets) which, in turn may lead to an offsetting increase in the demand for energy. These three effects may be thought of as the income effect, the price effect and DRIPE effect (demand reduction induced price effect), respectively.

  • Generation of Earth's First-Order Biodiversity Pattern
    ASTROBIOLOGY Volume 9, Number 1, 2009 © Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. DOI: 10.1089/ast.2008.0253 Review Generation of Earth’s First-Order Biodiversity Pattern Andrew Z. Krug,1 David Jablonski,1 James W. Valentine,2 and Kaustuv Roy3 Abstract The first-order biodiversity pattern on Earth today and at least as far back as the Paleozoic is the latitudinal di- versity gradient (LDG), a decrease in richness of species and higher taxa from the equator to the poles. LDGs are produced by geographic trends in origination, extinction, and dispersal over evolutionary timescales, so that analyses of static patterns will be insufficient to reveal underlying processes. The fossil record of marine bivalve genera, a model system for the analysis of biodiversity dynamics over large temporal and spatial scales, shows that an origination and range-expansion gradient plays a major role in generating the LDG. Peak orig- ination rates and peak diversities fall within the tropics, with range expansion out of the tropics the predomi- nant spatial dynamic thereafter. The origination-diversity link occurs even in a “contrarian” group whose di- versity peaks at midlatitudes, an exception proving the rule that spatial variations in origination are key to Ն latitudinal diversity patterns. Extinction rates are lower in polar latitudes ( 60°) than in temperate zones and thus cannot create the observed gradient alone. They may, however, help to explain why origination and im- migration are evidently damped in higher latitudes. We suggest that species require more resources in higher latitudes, for the seasonality of primary productivity increases by more than an order of magnitude from equa- torial to polar regions.

    Belgian Laces Volume 14 #53 December 1992 Belgian Laces Vol14 #53 Dear Members, The end of the year is approaching rapidly in Belgium and in most of Europe, the children are anxiously looking forward to December 6, when St Nicolas will come with gifts for the good children and the “martinet” (whip) for the bad ones. There will also be plenty of speculoos and massepain oranges and apples. Just thinking of the expectations, the fears and joys make us long for the holiday atmosphere of “the old country”. Then come the family reunions of Christmas, the joys of being together and sharing the blessings of the holidays. The New Year too brings special traditions, where the chi1dren will read their specially prepared “New Years Letters”: one for the parents, one for the grandparents and one for their godparents, who each will give them a few francs or a special present The children have worked hard on these letters, wilting them using their most beautiful handwriting and vocabulary! New Year too is the time for resolutions, decisions and promises. Decisions… promises… we asked you last year to help us raise the number of our membership to 400. We are delighted to let you know that we gave membership number to the last subscriber. Thanks and congratulations to you all! We want to do even better for 1993 and hope to reach or pass the 500 mark by the end of the year. With your continuous support, we should be able to do just that. The more we are the more we can help each other.
