The Chinese Organic Export Model, Globalization and a Danish Future Perspective
China has gained a top position in the world of Certified Organic Agriculture (COA). This article briefly portrays the development and institutional nature of the Chinese success as an exporter of organic products in a process of globalization. It then reflects on possible lessons from this case of globalization, to be implied from the point of view of future development and integrity of the Danish organic sector
FUTURE PERSPECTIVE ON THE EURO AS A GLOBAL CURRENCY
Ten years ago, many EU officials celebrated by abolishing their old, national currency, and embraced the sign of a newer emerging Europe- the Euro. Today, just ten years later, the same people are questioning adopting the Euro, scared by the recent crisis in Greece. 2011 will show the actual dimensions of the economic crisis, provided that austerity measures will be strongly felt and the effects of hundreds of billions of dollars pumped into rescuing financial markets will decrease, leaving room for reality. So, almost certainly, 2011 will be the year to lay the foundation of a strong future Euro, or the beginning of a new Europe without Euro.euro, economic perspectives, global currency
A future perspective on technological obsolescenceat NASA, Langley Research Center
The present research effort was the first phase of a study to forecast whether technological obsolescence will be a problem for the engineers, scientists, and technicians at NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC). There were four goals of the research: to review the literature on technological obsolescence; to determine through interviews of division chiefs and branch heads Langley's perspective on future technological obsolescence; to begin making contacts with outside industries to find out how they view the possibility of technological obsolescence; and to make preliminary recommendations for dealing with the problem. A complete description of the findings of this research can be reviewed in a technical report in preparation. The following are a small subset of the key findings of the study: NASA's centers and divisions vary in their missions and because of this, in their capability to control obsolescence; research-oriented organizations within NASA are believed by respondents to keep up to date more than the project-oriented organizations; asked what are the signs of a professional's technological obsolescence, respondents had a variety of responses; top performing scientists were viewed as continuous learners, keeping up to date by a variety of means; when asked what incentives were available to aerospace technologists for keeping up to data, respondents specified a number of ideas; respondents identified many obstacles to professionals' keeping up to date in the future; and most respondents expressed some concern for the future of the professionals at NASA vis a vis the issue of professional obsolescence
University didactics in future perspective
According to the title of this paper three matters especially come into consideration, viz. didactics, the future and the university. For this reason it is necessary to give a brief orientation to each of these. After that an attempt will be made to view university didactics in future perspective
Future Perspective for Higgs Physics
Future perspectives for Higgs physics are outlined. First it is shown that
the discovered Higgs boson cannot be the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson,
motivating the investigations of Higgs sectors beyond the SM (BSM). The secure
future, the HL-LHC, and the agreed upon future, an collider, are
briefly discussed. The importance of theory calculations for the full
exploitation of the (anticipated) experimental data is emphasized. Finally, the
complementarity of collider based Higgs physics and other types of experiments,
such as gravitational wave observatories is briefly outlined.Comment: Plenary talk given at ICHEP2022, 6-13 July, Bologna, Italy; 12 pages,

Civil aircraft advanced avionics architectures - an insight into saras avionics, present and future perspective
Traditionally, the avionics architectures being implemented are of federated nature, which means that each avionics function has its own independent, dedicated fault-tolerant computing resources. Federated architecture has great advantage of inherent fault containment and at the same time envelops a potential risk of massive use of resources resulting in increase in weight, looming, cost and maintenance as well. With the drastic advancement in the computer and software technologies, the aviation industry is gradually moving towards the use of Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) for civil transport aircraft, potentially leading to multiple avionics functions housed in each hardware platform. Integrated Modular Avionics is the most important concept of avionics architecture for next generation aircrafts. SARAS avionics suite is purely federated with almost glass cockpit architecture complying to FAR25. The Avionics activities from the inception to execution are governed by the regulations and procedures under the review of Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). Every phase of avionics activity has got its own technically involvement to make the system perfect. In addition the flight data handling, monitoring and analysis is again a thrust area in the civil aviation industry leading to safety and reliability of the machine and the personnel involved. NAL has been in this area for more than two decades and continues to excel in these technologies
Modelling the many-body dynamics of heavy ion collisions: Present status and future perspective
Basic problems of the semiclassical microscopic modelling of strongly
interactingsystems are discussed within the framework of Quantum Molecular
Dynamics (QMD). This model allows to study the influence of several types of
nucleonic interactions on a large variety of observables and phenomena
occurring in heavy ion collisions at relativistic energies.It is shown that the
same predictions can be obtained with several -- numerically completely
different and independently written -- programs as far as the same model
parameters are employed and the same basic approximations are made. Many
observables are robust against variations of the details of the model
assumptions used. Some of the physical results, however, depend also on rather
technical parameters like the preparation of the initial configuration in phase
space. This crucial problem is connected with the description of the ground
state of single nuclei,which differs among the various approaches. An outlook
to an improved molecular dynamics scheme for heavy ion collisions is given.Comment: 39 pages, 12 figure
