Diversity and other emergent properties of industrial economies
As industrial economies develop over time, they become more complex with more components mutually interacting via additional interconnections. The changes are manifested in properties that emerge over time. Some emergent properties are proposed here and tested with empirical data, where available. Diversity, energy and material intensities, and production capacity are examined and tested at a ...

Coordination–dependent bond energies derived from DFT surface–energy data for use in computations of surface segregation phenomena in nanoclusters
Theoretical computations of alloy surface phenomena, such as elemental segregation, within atomic pair–interaction models, necessitate the use of reliable bond energies as input. This work introduces the idea to extract the coordination dependence of bond energies from density–functional theory (DFT) computed surface energy anisotropy. Polynomial functions are fitted to DFT data reported recently ...

Data Centers’ Energy Use Rises - What’s Next for Efficiency?
We’ve often heard that for companies to lessen carbon footprint and become environmentally friendly, they must go online or put their papers and process in the “cloud”. But that’s not really the case, as storing files in the cloud also translates to renting a physical space where those data will be stored and accessed when needed. These places are called data centers. They ...
