Sustainability Policy Analysis: What Is It? What Can It Do for Us? Part One: Sustainability as an Analytical Framework
"... Few concepts are as influential or pervasive in contemporary political discourse as that of sustainability. The concept gained currency with the report of the World Commission on Environment and Development in 1987, Our Common Future. Its political relevance was established at the Rio Earth Summit ..."

propose three levels of analysis as a starting point. The macro focuses on a national or global level (e.g., the European Union, China, or Germany). A meso level could describe a geographical region (the Great Lakes, Chesapeake Bay) or economic sector (steel, chemicals, autos, power generation
Microsoft Word - Reg Allen's Regional paper and abstract3a.doc
"... Abstract This paper looks at when, if ever, we should prefer regionalised to centralised approaches to curriculum, assessment and certification systems. It argues that regionalised approaches are needed only if the central purpose of education is increasing student participation and achievement in ..."

RICE UNIVERSITY Regime Change: Sampling Rate vs. Bit-Depth in Compressive Sensing
, 2011
"... The compressive sensing (CS) framework aims to ease the burden on analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) by exploiting inherent structure in natural and man-made signals. It has been demon-strated that structured signals can be acquired with just a small number of linear measurements, on the order of t ..."

accommodate the otherwise limiting quantizer of conventional ADCs. In this thesis, we consider a different approach to CS ADC by shifting towards lower quantizer bit-depths rather than lower sampling rates. We explore the extreme case where each measurement is quantized to just one bit, representing its sign
SIMULATION, DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT OF MOBILE WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS FOR MIGRATORY BIRD TRACKING
, 2012
"... This thesis presents CraneTracker, a multi-modal sensing and communication system for monitoring migratory species at the continental level. By exploiting the robust and extensive cellular infrastructure across the continent, traditional mobile wireless sensor networks can be extended to enable reli ..."

Title: Banking System Stability. A Cross-Atlantic Perspective
"... A particularly important sector for the stability of financial systems is the banking sector. Banks play a central role in the money creation process and in the payment system. Moreover, bank credit is an important factor in the financing of investment and growth. Faltering banking systems have ..."
