The Relationship

Contemporary capitalism, with all of its contradictions and variability of existence, dominates the present. Even though it retained its basic characteristics of classical capitalism, its peculiarity is present in socially-productive relations that are in mutual contradiction. Modern capitalism is still capitalism. The aim of this paper is to research the relationship between contemporary capitalism and sustainable economy and to give an answer what is necessary for those two to be connected.

In order to improve the microstructure evolution modeling of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) in agreement with physical experiment, a modified Monte-Carlo (MC) Potts model for simulating DRX process was proposed in this paper under the consideration of the inhomogeneous stored energy distribution related to grain sizes, the nucleation criteria related to critical dislocation density, the site energy change related to grain preferred-growth, the combination of macroscopic thermo-mechanical parameters and microscopic material parameters, and the relationship between MC calculation steps and real DRX time. The results show that the modified model can better simulate the basic characteristics of dynamic recrystallization of metallic materials during forging, which the recrystallized grains nucleate mainly in the deformed regions with high stored energy and preferentially grow up by merging adjacent deformed grains with high stored energy.

Abstract The relationship between business strategies and legal institutions is important for understanding the historical dynamics of modern capitalism. While legal history and economic history have remained distinct disciplines, a growing number of studies now populates a vibrant «borderland» between the two. Building on frameworks of legal history, organization studies, and «new entrepreneurial history», our contribution systematizes the relation of entrepreneurship and the law from a historical perspective of change. This paper explains how an analysis of this specific relation contributes to our understanding of economic change and addresses the question of synthesis and interdisciplinary connectivity by offering a conceptual triad that focuses on the problems of agency and change at the intersection of businesses and the law. This paper argues that economic actors have used, sought, and avoided laws to transform their legal and economic environments. Each of these interactions combined a distinct set of variables conceptualized as legal business creativity, legal-institutional entrepreneurship, and Schumpeterian rule-breaking.

Rail Traffic

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to develop a procedure for estimating future rail traffic that considers the relationship between the structure of a state's economy and rail freight traffic. The study expands the use of input-output models to include the forecasting of transportation demand. Georgia and Michigan case studies were used to test the forecasting capability of the input-output procedure. For Michigan's 1980 rail movements, the model predicted rail traffic to within 0.15 percent of actual traffic. For 1979 Georgia traffic, the model predicted within 4.3 percent of actual traffic. Various statistical tests indicate that the procedure was effective in forecasting rail freight traffic.

Biological Impacts

For economic and environmental policies aimed at developing sustainable economies, it is important to have a general modeling approach which can quantitatively connect economic processes with biological and physical processes of the environment. If economic processes cannot be measured as to their real physical/biological impacts, one does not know whether or not such economic processes are sustainable in nature. To create an integrated economic/environmental model, we have mathematically generalized the Leontief's input–output economic model — from vector notation to tensor notation. The use of tensor mathematics for input–output models of both an economy and its environment provides a data architecture to create simulation models of the environmental impact of an economy.

Over the past decade, as the rapid evolution of semiconductor technology has progressed towards submicron design rules, plasma (dry) etching has supplanted simple wet etching processes for the transfer of patterns. To understand the underlying need for development of plasma etching, a brief background of integrated semiconductor technology is presented. Along with a historical perspective of the evolution of plasma etching, the relationship of plasma etching to lithography needs, its basic characteristics and advantages over wet chemical processing are discussed. Following this, relevant concepts of plasma physics and chemistry, based on experience with plasma etching applications for silicon technology, which can be used as building blocks for technology development are described.

This paper presents a survey of LGBT attitudes towards the security sector in Serbia. During the five focus groups with LGBT persons, we determined the basic characteristics of police attitudes towards sexual minorities. By examining the relationship between the police and the sexual minorities, the author attempts to determine the institutional practice towards homosexuality. The study also notes the differences between respondents based on their status and the size of their place of residence. This paper looks at events such as the Pride Parade, which lead to the appearance of anti-gay factions and political conflicts.

Present Understanding

El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is an important of mode of climatic variability that through altering climate patterns exerts a discernible impact on ecosystems and society. For this reason, ENSO has attracted much interest in the climate and health science community with many analysts investigating ENSO health links through considering the degree of dependency of the incidence of a range of climate diseases on the occurrence of El Niño events. Because of the mounting interest in the relationship between ENSO as a major mode of climatic variability and health this paper presents an overview of the basic characteristics of the ENSO phenomenon and its climate impacts, discusses the use of ENSO indices in climate and health research and outlines the present understanding of ENSO health associations. Also touched upon are ENSO-based seasonal health forecasting and the possible impacts of climate change on ENSO and the implications this holds for future assessments of ENSO health associations. The review concludes that there is still some way to go before a thorough understanding of the association between ENSO and health is achieved with a need to move beyond analyses undertaken through a purely statistical lens with due acknowledgement that ENSO as a complex non-canonical phenomenon and that simple ENSO health associations should not be expected.

The Relationship

It is well known that due to the nonlinearity of the kinematics of linkage mechanisms, their output motion contains harmonics of the input motion. In most mechanisms, the generated high harmonic components in the output motion are the main source of vibration excitation that the mechanism imparts on the overall system, including its own structure. For simple linkage mechanisms such as slider-cranks and four-bar linkage mechanisms, the amplitudes of the harmonics of the output motion for constant input rotation have been derived. In the present study, it is shown that certain relationships exist between the amplitudes of the harmonic of the output motions. In particular, odd and even harmonic amplitudes are shown to be related through an inequality relationship. These relationships are due to the basic characteristics of the linkage mechanisms motions, which are significantly simplified for certain linkage geometries. The relationships between the amplitudes of the output velocity harmonics are derived for slider-crank and four-bar linkage mechanisms.

ABSTRACTUsing Bury as a case study, this article reassesses the mechanism of the formation of political opinion in Lancashire factory towns in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This subject has heretofore been dominated by sociological explanations of the 1970s and early 1980s. A re-examination of the ‘Three Lancashires’ paradigm, the socio-economic model that has underpinned most Lancashire studies for this period, demonstrates that the socio-economics of urban Lancashire were more diverse than previously thought. From this basis, the article challenges the empirical basis of one of the most enduring tenets of Lancashire politics: the deferential ‘factory politics’ model. To provide an alternative explanation, this article reasserts the importance of ‘issues’ to the debate, and underlines the contingent nature of the relationship between representative and constituents. An important strand is whether political activists integrated their plebeian rank and file into new party structures, thus neutralizing threats to status quo. This interpretation has been central to much recent revisionist history; however, this article demonstrates that the ‘rise of party’ during the mid-Victorian period was contingent upon political activists acquiescing to certain requirements of their followers.
