Ranking
Human beings are competitive. We want to know who is the strongest, who is the richest, and who is the cleverest of all. Some situations, like ranking people based on height, can be ranked in objective ways. However, many "Top Ten" lists are based on subjective categorization and give only the illusion of objectivity. In fact, we don't always want to be seen objectively since we don't mind having a better image or rank than deserved. Ranking: The Unwritten Rules of the Social Game We All Play applies scientific theories to everyday experience by raising and answering questions like: Are college ranking lists objective? How do we rank and rate countries based on their fragility, level of corr...
Non-Equilibrium Dynamics in Chemical Systems
Markedly apart from elementary particle physics, another current has been building up and cont i nuous ly growi ng within contemporary phys i cs for severa 1 decades, and even expanding into many other disciplines, especially chemistry, biology and, quite recently, economics. Several reasons account for this: presumably the most impor tant one lies in the fact that, whatever the specific problem, model or material concerned, the same basic mathematical features are always involved. In this way, a general phenomenology has emerged which, unlike thermodynamics, is no longer depen dent upon the details or specifics: what largely prevails is the nonlinear charac ter of the underlying dynamics. P...
Chemical Instabilities
On March 14-18, 1983 a workshop on "Chemical Instabilities: Applications in Chemistry, Engineering, Geology, and Materials Science" was held in Austin, Texas, U.S.A. It was organized jointly by the University of Texas at Austin and the Universite Libre de Bruxelles and sponsored qy NATO, NSF, the University of Texas at Austin, the International Solvay Institutes and the Ex xon Corporation. The present Volume includes most of the material of the in vited lectures delivered in the workshop as well as material from some posters, whose content was directly related to the themes of the invited lectures. In ,recent years, problems related to the stability and the nonlinear dynamics of nonequilibri...
Doctoral Education in Central- and South-East Europe
Doctoral education is a wise societal investment with excellent pay-off in both the short- and long term. In Central- and South-East European countries numerous doctoral schools have the potential to become internationally recognized LEADERS in certain scientific areas. Public authorities pay insufficient attention to this unique source of prosperity. To utilize the potential of the immense human resources of the Region requires determination by public authorities and industry as well as universities themselves. Alternatively the Region's doctoral schools will fall behind and be a second-rank follower. The Region's universities need to modernize their doctoral schools, including the related administration. It requires institutional autonomy and adequate funding. It is insufficient to solely rely on assistance and funding from the European Union.
