If I throw a very concentric circle, or concentric ellipse, it just dutifully makes these evenly spaced lines, which get closer and closer together, which describes how gravity works.

It's made up of 16 concentric shells. Each one has 92 spheres.

This contraction of the job market has had a greater impact on youth than on adults.

Okay, so it causes a small involuntary contraction in my hand by putting a magnetic pulse in my brain.

Absent a prolonged fiscal cliff and debt ceiling mess, the US may be cobbling together a sustainable recovery. Following the German economy s sharp contraction in the last quarter of 2012, the question for the country today is whether it can avoid a technical recession (defined as two consecutive quarters of economic contraction).

Minimum age for marriage and compilation of a marriage act at the vital statistics office upon contraction of the marriage are regulated.

After a year of respite, economic contraction continued in 2004, with dire consequences for poverty, production capacity and the Palestinian people's basic needs.

China s stimulus package was by far the world s largest and most effectively implemented. It stabilized growth in China and moderated the global economic contraction.

The prolonged contraction of economic activity, combined with chronically high rates of unemployment and underemployment, has discouraged investment and has consequently reduced labour productivity.

In a world of globalization, however, many people belong to multiple imagined communities. Some local, regional, national, cosmopolitan seem to be arranged as concentric circles, with the strength of identity diminishing with distance from the core but, in a global information age, this ordering has become confused.

Based on long term trends until 2002, the substantial economic contraction in the economies of the ESCWA region, therefore, raises serious questions regarding macroeconomic systems, institutions and policies.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs exercises supervision over the performance of functions related to the contraction of marriages by a minister of religion of a church, congregation or association of congregations.

Austerity s advocates rely on one and only one argument If fiscal contraction is part of a credible consolidation program aimed at permanently reducing the share of government in GDP, business expectations will be so encouraged by the prospect of lower taxes and higher profits that the resulting economic expansion will more than offset the contraction in demand caused by cuts in public spending. The economist Paul Krugman calls this the confidence fairy.

This reflects a shattered, war torn economy with a sustained contraction in its supply capacity as a result of prolonged occupation and four years of destruction and deterioration of private and public infrastructure.

Of concern here is the direct economic impact of the Barrier and settlements and the further contraction they cause to an already fragmented and vulnerable Palestinian production base and resources, especially land and water.

While the second half of 2005 was already quite good, Ifo expects investment in equipment to grow by a healthy 6 in 2006. After many years of contraction, investment in construction also will rise slightly.

5. Further welcomes the assessment by the Caribbean Development Bank in its 1999 report on the Territory that, despite economic contraction in the first quarter, the economy rebounded to reach 6 per cent growth during 1999

And the reason it's like that is because it's dead boring to have a load of concentric circles, whereas that's much more exciting, to look at something at that angle, isn't it? Right? And by doing it at that angle, if you've got that misconception in your head, then that two dimensional representation of a three dimensional thing will be ellipses.

That is especially true when growth falls below 1 , leaving a thin margin between expansion and contraction. Such sluggish performance is the economic equivalent of stall speed the heightened vulnerability that aircrafts can encounter at low velocity.

Even if a bailout plan were implemented quickly which appears increasingly unlikely there would be some credit contraction. The US economy has been sustained by a consumption boom fueled by excessive borrowing, and that will be curtailed.

And, similarly, a relativistic computer game in which objects on the screen manifest the Lorenz Contraction, and so on, to try to get ourselves into the way of thinking get children into the way of thinking about it.

The Bundesbank has lowered its forecast for German annual GDP growth in 2013 to 0.4 . The Central Bank of the Netherlands expects Dutch GDP to shrink by 0.5 this year following a contraction of about 1 in 2012.

Indeed, although structural adjustment continues in China, the economy is facing an increasingly serious contraction in demand and continued deflation. The consumer price index (CPI) has remained below 2 , and the producer price index (PPI) has been negative, for 44 months.

The IMF and Greece s other creditors have assumed that massive fiscal contraction has only a temporary effect on economic activity, employment, and taxes, and that slashing wages, pensions, and public jobs has a magical effect on growth. This has proved false.

The excitement is not anxiety free, however, and rightly so. Investors worry about the longer term consequences of political dysfunction, another year of European economic contraction, disastrously high unemployment, unprecedented and thus untested central bank policies, and increasing global tensions.

But Keynesianism involved continued fiscal expansion, with no offsetting monetary contraction. By the 1970 s, it had brought to the United Kingdom large and ultimately unsustainable current account deficits, high levels of inflation, and then political gridlock over what to do.

The Ifo Institute has forecast that GDP will contract by 2.2 in 2009. But the contraction will be primarily because of declining exports, a large portion of which consists of investment goods, as well as the drop in domestic equipment investment.

Consider the US. Though annual GDP growth is estimated to have rebounded to 4 in the second quarter of 2014, following the 2.1 first quarter contraction, that still leaves average growth in the first half of the year at a measly 1 .

One camp argued that the recession in the United States would be V shaped short and shallow. It would last only eight months, like the two previous recessions of 1990 1991 and 2001, and the world would decouple from the US contraction.

Finally, those who view the Great Depression as fundamentally a product of tight fiscal policies and Treasury orthodoxy overlook the much greater culpability of a fixed exchange rate regime for the transmission of bad monetary policy, and thus for fueling the contraction.

Forecasters assumed that monetary expansion would provide an effective antidote to fiscal contraction. The Bank of England hoped that by printing 375 billion of new money, ( 600 billion), it would stimulate total spending to the tune of 50 billion, or 3 of GDP.

In August 1997, Indonesia was hit by a devastating economic and monetary crisis, which caused the poor more than half of whom are women to increase dramatically to 49.5 million in 1998, while the economy experienced a 14 percent contraction the following year.

Others, including me, argued that, given the excesses of private sector leverage (in households, financial institutions, and corporate firms), this would be a U shaped recession long and deep. It would last about 24 months, and the world would not decouple from the US contraction.
