We could apply the theory of punctuated equilibrium to languages.

This is Niles Eldredge. He was the co developer with Stephen Jay Gould of the theory of punctuated equilibrium.

Like we could have punctuated expressions of anger, as in riots.

It does an equilibrium glide. Highly controlled.

But it's being balanced like that in equilibrium.

It's a revolution in that it's a change in equilibrium.

And that equilibrium is not what the United States would like, but it's probably an equilibrium that the United States can live with, and that a lot of others can live with.

They created the scenarios using outputs from equilibrium and or transient GCMs.

That equilibrium lies at the heart of the potential of those mechanisms.

I know this because look at how punctuated meal time is when they are no longer in their particular rooms here. Right?

Why not also for England, for that matter? An equilibrium in which Scots vote on English laws but the English have no vote on Scottish laws will not remain an equilibrium for long.

He says, the problem with thermal equilibrium is that we can't live there.

Are they ever in equilibrium in the way that you see your work?

Society will be exposed to putrid legislation and that will affect the societal equilibrium .

So Boltzmann says, look, you could start with a universe that was in thermal equilibrium.

So economists talk about game theory that every two person game has a Nash equilibrium.

It's punctuated by three quick anecdotes, which show how accidental encounters with strange noises gave us some of the most important information we have about space.

So when the fish control the urchin population, the ocean was restored to its natural equilibrium.

NEW YORK History rarely unfolds smoothly or evenly. Instead, it tends to be punctuated by major developments battles, assassinations, breakthroughs that have consequences that are felt for years.

We would not be able to process information, metabolize, walk and talk, if we lived in thermal equilibrium.

The universal view was that without the industrial and agricultural revolutions, planet Earth would still be in equilibrium.

However, despite this positive picture, a climate of protracted social and humanitarian crisis endured through the year, punctuated by an intensification of the conflict, ongoing barrier construction and persistent fiscal crisis.

In China, changes in the export sector s structure similar to those observed in Japan are now taking place. These changes are likely to make today s attempts to find an equilibrium yuan dollar exchange rate seem just as chimerical in hindsight as previous calculations of the yen dollar equilibrium rate.

Interest rates, employment, aggregate demand, and technological and institutional innovation all play a role. As the economist Joan Robinson pointed out in 1947, just about any exchange rate will be the equilibrium value for some combination of these other variables. The equilibrium exchange rate, she famously argued, is a chimera.

And then, what population of the Earth would be an equilibrium that could continue on, and be for 2050, 2100, 2150?

But in any event, by the end of this year, beginning of next year, we get to a stable equilibrium outcome.

An expanded Europe, which maintains a relationship of trust with Russia, uses its influence and strength to promote peace and equilibrium.

Large current account surpluses and or rising terms of trade imply that the equilibrium real exchange rate (the relative price of foreign to domestic goods) has appreciated in countries like China and Russia. Thus, over time the actual real exchange rate needs to converge via real appreciation with the stronger equilibrium rate.

They could also be used to recalibrate existing applied general equilibrium models, which usually do not include NTBs, at least not extensively.

The first is, the system has to be in non equilibrium. That means the system cannot be dead, in a matter of fact.

Furthermore, this equilibrium must be supported by an enabling international environment that complemented a sound approach by African countries at the domestic level.

The result is far shorter waiting lists for day nurseries, and supply and demand are now in equilibrium in many parts of the country.

Even if the employment subsidy were offered only for, say, one year, firms would be tempted to use more labor during this time. And, because the current bout of high unemployment is self reinforcing, once the equilibrium is broken for a while, the economy could move to a higher employment equilibrium permanently, without the need for any further government support.

We can find ways to interact with these other species that doesn't involve exterminating them, but involves finding an equilibrium with them that's a useful balance.

This state of alienation not only had prevented her from giving her daughter the support she needed, but also had seriously threatened her daughter's mental equilibrium.

Even if exhaustive information were available, the construction of a general measure of NTBs could be tedious, as general equilibrium effects are likely to be excluded.

I explain chemical equilibrium using analogies to awkward middle school dances, and I talk about fuel cells with stories about boys and girls at a summer camp.

Nothing should be undertaken that could endanger the integrity of the Treaty and undermine the essential equilibrium contained in it, for the sake of our common good peace, security and stability.

WASHINGTON, DC The year 2015 was difficult, punctuated by declining growth forecasts, horrific terror attacks, massive refugee flows, and serious political challenges, with populism on the rise in many countries. In the Middle East, in particular, chaos and violence has continued to proliferate, with devastating consequences.

My conclusion is that a good indication of this moving equilibrium does exist the five year forward oil price, or the amount paid for guaranteed delivery of oil five years from now.

These impacts were estimated using the general equilibrium model MS MRT (Multi Sector Multi Region Trade) and supported by information from the Third Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

So this work was a real technical challenge for us, and we worked very hard, like most of our works, over years to get the mechanics right and the equilibrium and the dynamics.

We hope to see ASEAN play a pivotal role in the evolution of a new equilibrium in the Asia Pacific region that will consolidate the peaceful engagement of regional Powers with one another.

ECLAC and UNDP recently joined forces to develop instruments to approximate the impact of macroeconomic and external shocks on labour and household incomes through the use of a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model.
