The participation of non-state actors in implementation processes is often understood as a means to increase compliance efficiency.
But the implementation of spatial policies frequently focuses on pre-established goals, processes and instruments and thus
renders difficult open discourse and shared decision-making. This paper introduces conflict pattern analysis (CPA) as a tool
that supports the analysis of the actual actor constellation in order to define efficient approaches that avoid common problems
of participatory processes. CPA is a semi-formalised method that helps to identify key-actors, their relations and interaction
amongst each other as well as their core beliefs, interests and resources. It aggregates this information to interaction patterns
that can be compared, classified and linked to different participatory methods on a theoretically informed basis. Particularly
on the local and regional level, this could be the first step for successful (participatory) implementation strategies. 相似文献

The history of the publication of the gravitational field equations of general relativity in November 1915 by Einstein and
Hilbert is briefly reviewed. An analysis of the internal structure and logic of Hilbert's theory as expounded in extant proofs
and in the published version of his relevant paper is given with respect to the specific question what information would have
been found on a missing piece of Hilbert's proofs. The existing texts suggest that the missing piece contained the explicit
form of the Riemann curvature scalar in terms of the Ricci tensor as a specification of the axiomatically underdetermined
Lagrangian in Hilbert's action integral. An alternative reading that the missing piece of the proofs already may have contained
the Einstein tensor, i.e. an explicit calculation of the gravitational part of Hilbert's Lagrangian is argued to be highly
implausible. 相似文献

Symmetry-breaking interactions have a crucial role in many areas of physics, ranging from classical ferrofluids to superfluid (3)He and d-wave superconductivity. For superfluid quantum gases, a variety of new physical phenomena arising from the symmetry-breaking interaction between electric or magnetic dipoles are expected. Novel quantum phases in optical lattices, such as chequerboard or supersolid phases, are predicted for dipolar bosons. Dipolar interactions can also enrich considerably the physics of quantum gases with internal degrees of freedom. Arrays of dipolar particles could be used for efficient quantum information processing. Here we report the realization of a chromium Bose-Einstein condensate with strong dipolar interactions. By using a Feshbach resonance, we reduce the usual isotropic contact interaction, such that the anisotropic magnetic dipole-dipole interaction between 52Cr atoms becomes comparable in strength. This induces a change of the aspect ratio of the atom cloud; for strong dipolar interactions, the inversion of ellipticity during expansion (the usual 'smoking gun' evidence for a Bose-Einstein condensate) can be suppressed. These effects are accounted for by taking into account the dipolar interaction in the superfluid hydrodynamic equations governing the dynamics of the gas, in the same way as classical ferrofluids can be described by including dipolar terms in the classical hydrodynamic equations. Our results are a first step in the exploration of the unique properties of quantum ferrofluids. 相似文献

lambda Repressor and cro--components of an efficient molecular switch 总被引:48,自引:0,他引:48
In a lysogen, most genes of phage lambda are repressed; in response to a transient induction signal, they are efficiently switched on. The switch, which consists in part of a tripartite operator to which two regulatory proteins bind, depends not only on DNA--protein interactions, but also on effects transmitted from one DNA-bound protein to another. lambda Exemplifies a strategy that facilitates efficient switching between two physiological states in response to a transient signal. 相似文献

Agricultural sustainability and intensive production practices 总被引:121,自引:0,他引:121
A doubling in global food demand projected for the next 50 years poses huge challenges for the sustainability both of food production and of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and the services they provide to society. Agriculturalists are the principal managers of global usable lands and will shape, perhaps irreversibly, the surface of the Earth in the coming decades. New incentives and policies for ensuring the sustainability of agriculture and ecosystem services will be crucial if we are to meet the demands of improving yields without compromising environmental integrity or public health. 相似文献

Biodiversity as a barrier to ecological invasion 总被引:69,自引:0,他引:69
Biological invasions are a pervasive and costly environmental problem that has been the focus of intense management and research activities over the past half century. Yet accurate predictions of community susceptibility to invasion remain elusive. The diversity resistance hypothesis, which argues that diverse communities are highly competitive and readily resist invasion, is supported by both theory and experimental studies conducted at small spatial scales. However, there is also convincing evidence that the relationship between the diversity of native and invading species is positive when measured at regional scales. Although this latter relationship may arise from extrinsic factors, such as resource heterogeneity, that covary with diversity of native and invading species at large scales, the mechanisms conferring greater invasion resistance to diverse communities at local scales remain unknown. Using neighbourhood analyses, a technique from plant competition studies, we show here that species diversity in small experimental grassland plots enhances invasion resistance by increasing crowding and species richness in localized plant neighbourhoods. Both the establishment (number of invaders) and success (proportion of invaders that are large) of invading plants are reduced. These results suggest that local biodiversity represents an important line of defence against the spread of invaders. 相似文献

Einstein’s early calculations of gravitational lensing, contained in a scratch notebook and dated to the spring of 1912, are
reexamined. A hitherto unknown letter by Einstein suggests that he entertained the idea of explaining the phenomenon of new
stars by gravitational lensing in the fall of 1915 much more seriously than was previously assumed. A reexamination of the
relevant calculations by Einstein shows that, indeed, at least some of them most likely date from early October 1915. But
in support of earlier historical interpretation of Einstein’s notes, it is argued that the appearance of Nova Geminorum 1912
(DN Gem) in March 1912 may, in fact, provide a relevant context and motivation for Einstein’s lensing calculations on the
occasion of his first meeting with Erwin Freundlich during a visit in Berlin in April 1912. We also comment on the significance
of Einstein’s consideration of gravitational lensing in the fall of 1915 for the reconstruction of Einstein’s final steps
in his path towards general relativity. 相似文献

Qualitative theoretical approaches such as graph theory and stoichiometric analyses are beginning to uncover the architecture and systemic functions of complex metabolic reaction networks. At present, however, only a few, largely unproven quantitative concepts propose functional design principles of the global flux distribution. As operational units of function, molecular fluxes determine the systemic cell phenotype by linking genes, proteins and metabolites to higher-level biological functions. In sharp contrast to other 'omics' analyses, 'fluxome' analysis remained tedious. By large-scale quantification of in vivo flux responses, we identified a robust flux distribution in 137 null mutants of Bacillus subtilis. On its preferred substrate, B. subtilis has suboptimal metabolism because regulators of developmental programs maintain a 'standby' mode that invests substantial resources in anticipation of changing environmental conditions at the expense of optimal growth. Network rigidity and robustness are probably universal functional design principles, whereas the standby mode may be more specific. 相似文献

Hexameric ring-shaped ATPases of the AAA + (for ATPases associated with various cellular activities) superfamily power cellular processes in which macromolecular structures and complexes are dismantled or denatured, but the mechanisms used by these machine-like enzymes are poorly understood. By covalently linking active and inactive subunits of the ATPase ClpX to form hexamers, here we show that diverse geometric arrangements can support the enzymatic unfolding of protein substrates and translocation of the denatured polypeptide into the ClpP peptidase for degradation. These studies indicate that the ClpX power stroke is generated by ATP hydrolysis in a single subunit, rule out concerted and strict sequential ATP hydrolysis models, and provide evidence for a probabilistic sequence of nucleotide hydrolysis. This mechanism would allow any ClpX subunit in contact with a translocating polypeptide to hydrolyse ATP to drive substrate spooling into ClpP, and would prevent stalling if one subunit failed to bind or hydrolyse ATP. Energy-dependent machines with highly diverse quaternary architectures and molecular functions could operate by similar asymmetric mechanisms. 相似文献
