A fair path to the future? - foundations for empirical research

Looking ahead, the quest for environmental sustainability may turn out to be the most important political challenge of the twenty-first century. Though consensus is growing about some of the policy objectives like climate stability, political attitudes to these issues remain highly contested. Political parties seem to differ on both ontological assessments (how severe are the problems) and remedia

A 0.7 - 3.7 GHz Six Phase Receiver Front-End With Third Order Harmonic Rejection

This paper presents a highly linear receiver frontend operating from 700 MHz to 3.7 GHz with 3rd order harmonic rejection. It consists of a complementary low noise transconductance amplifier with capacitive cross coupling and negative gm current sources, a six phase current-mode passive mixer, and baseband transimpedance amplifiers providing programmable gain. The circuit has been fabricated in 65

Lake Urmia is disappearing

The present article is a translation—to Farsi—of an article by Dr. Ali Mirchi (postdoctoral research associate at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Michigan Technological University), Dr. Kaveh Madani (lecturer in Environmental Management at the Centre for Environmental Policy, Imperial College London) and Dr. Amir Aghakouchak (assistant professor at the Department of Civil an

Attention and tool-use in the evolution of language

It is argued that the capacity to focus attention is crucial for intentional communication. Intentional communication is goal-intended; directed at changing mental states and as a consequence behaviour; about a referential object common to sender and recipient; and about objects that may be context-and referent-independent. Three different kinds of attention is discerned: scanning, attention attra

Structural Models of Network Contacts Between Actors Governed by Activity and Attraction

This thesis consists of five papers on the subject of statistical modeling of stochastic networks. The NG-model proposed in Paper I combines a block structure with parameters that capture the identities of vertices and thus the new approach stresses the concept of ego-nets, which describes the structure around identified vertices. The models proposed in Papers II-V are closely related to the NG-mo
