The human factors of consistency maintenance in multiplayer computer games
Creators: name: Savery, Cheryl

Publisher: name: ACM
Year: 2010

description: Consistency maintenance (CM) techniques are a crucial part of many distributed systems, and are particularly important in networked games. In this paper we describe a framework of the human factors of CM, to help designers of networked games make better decisions about its use. The framework shows that there is wide variance in the CM requirements of different game situations, identifies the types of requirements that can be considered, and analyses the effects of several consistency schemes on user experience factors. To further explore these issues, we carried out a simulation study that compared four CM algorithms. The experiment confirms many of the predictions of the framework, and reveals additional subtleties of the algorithms. Our work is the first to look comprehensively at the tradeoffs and costs of CM, and our results are a strong starting point that will help designers improve on the user's quality of experience in distributed shared environments.

description: Motivated by recent experiments on the material Ba_3NiSb_2O_9 we consider a spin-one quantum antiferromagnet on a triangular lattice with the Heisenberg bilinear and biquadratic exchange interactions and a single-ion anisotropy. Using a fermionic "triplon" representation for spins, we study the phase diagram within mean field theory. In addition to a fully gapped spin-liquid ground state, we find a state where one gapless triplon mode with Fermi surface coexists with d + id topological pairing of the other triplons. Despite the existence of a Fermi surface, this ground state has fully gapped bulk spin excitations. Such a state has linear in temperature specific heat and constant in plane spin susceptibility, with an unusually high Wilson ratio.

description: In this study, graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized using Hummers, modified Hummers and improved Hummers methods, and then freestanding membranes were prepared based on these materials. Effects of different GO preparation methods on C/O ratio and interlayer spacing of freestanding membranes were studied. Structure of these membranes was studied by X-ray diffraction, contact angle, XRF, FT-IR, and FESEM methods. Also, permeability of ammonia, dichloromethane, and water vapor was investigated through these membranes. Results showed that, the sample prepared by the Hummers method had lower C/O ratio, smoother surface and lower permeability for polar species, such as water and ammonia vapors, than nonpolar materials. Membranes prepared using Improved Hummers method showed the least permeability against nonpolar vapors such as dichloromethane.

description: We have performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy on Pb(Bi1-xSbx)2Te4, which is a member of lead-based ternary tellurides and has been theoretically proposed as a candidate for a new class of three-dimensional topological insulators (TIs). In PbBi2Te4, we found a topological surface state with a hexagonally deformed Dirac-cone band dispersion, indicating that this material is a strong TI with a single topological surface state at the Brillouin-zone center. Partial replacement of Bi with Sb causes a marked change in the Dirac carrier concentration, leading to the sign change of Dirac carriers from n-type to p-type. The Pb(Bi1-xSbx)2Te4 system with tunable Dirac carriers thus provides a new platform for investigating exotic topological phenomena.

description: New instrumental capabilities and the wealth of astrophysical information extractable from the near-infrared wavelength region have led to a growing interest in the field of high resolution spectroscopy at 1-5 mu. We aim to provide a library of observed high-resolution and high signal-to-noise-ratio near-infrared spectra of stars of various types throughout the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. This is needed for the exploration of spectral features in this wavelength range and for comparison of reference targets with observations and models. High quality spectra were obtained using the CRIRES near-infrared spectrograph at ESO's VLT covering the range from 0.97 to 5.3 mu at high spectral resolution. Accurate wavelength calibration and correction for of telluric lines were performed by fitting synthetic transmission spectra for the Earth's atmosphere to each spectrum individually. We describe the observational strategy and the current status and content of the library which includes 13 objects. The first examples of finally reduced spectra are presented. This publication will serve as a reference paper to introduce the library to the community and explore the extensive amount of material.

The Making of the World of Espionage: A Brief Political Economic Analysis of the Popularization of Ibn-e-Safi’s jāsūsī Novels in 1950s Karachi

subject: Pakistan

description: Asrar Ahmad, widely known as Ibn-e-Safi, is one of the most popular detective novelists in South Asia. He was born on July 26, 1928, in Nara of Allahabad District, Uttar Pradesh. In August 1952, Ibn-e-Safi migrated to Pakistan with his mother and sister. He founded Asrar Publications and started publishing Jasusi Duniya series simultaneously in Pakistan and India. Why have Ibn-e-Safi’s jasusi (detective) novels been so popular since the 1950s across the South Asian subcontinent and in various languages? The author, inspired by the “distant reading” approach and Marxian political economy, tries to understand the social relations and structure that are underneath the popularization of his novels. This article argues that the popularization of Ibn-e-Safi’s novels should be explained in terms of a larger process of social (re-)reproduction, in which the production and circulation of Ibn-e-Safi’s books benefited from a particular set of social relations embedded in the historically developed commercial publishing industry and reading culture. And, Ibn-e-Safi took advantage of the material conditions for the production and circulation of reading materials available at the time in Karachi.

description: The GANDALF 6U-VME64x/VXS module has been designed to cope with a variety of readout tasks in high energy and nuclear physics experiments, in particular the COMPASS experiment at CERN. The exchangeable mezzanine cards allow for an employment of the system in very different applications such as analog-to-digital or time-to-digital conversions, coincidence matrix formation, fast pattern recognition or fast trigger generation. Based on this platform, we present a 128-channel TDC which is implemented in a single Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA using a shifted clock sampling method. In this concept each input signal is continuously sampled by 16 flip-flops using equidistant phase-shifted clocks. Compared to previous FPGA designs, usually based on delay lines and comprising few TDC channels with resolutions in the order of 10 ps, our design permits the implementation of a large number of TDC channels with a resolution of 64 ps in a single FPGA. Predictable placement of logic components and uniform routing inside the FPGA fabric is a particular challenge of this design. We present measurement results for the time resolution and the nonlinearity of the TDC readout system.

description: With the goal of developing a new type of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) agent, selective internalisation of submicrometer boron carbide spherical particles into cancer cells via surface transferrin conjugation is demonstrated and confirmed in vitro and in vivo. Herein, negatively charged, spherical, submicrometer boron carbide (B4C) particles were coated with positively charged poly-L-lysine and negatively charged poly-γ-glutamic acid; the particles were subsequently conjugated with transferrin. It was confirmed in vitro and in vivo by confocal laser scanning microscopy and transmission electron microscopy that the coated particles interacted with transferrin receptors that were highly expressed on the surface of cancer cells, endocytosed by tumour cells, and transferred to the proximity of the nucleus. The submicrometer size of the particles provided stronger interaction between transferrin and transferrin receptors and hence resulted in more efficient internalisation than that obtained using nanoparticles. This method might be effective for the selective internalisation of large submicrometer particles for high therapeutic effects due to the large particle size, but with small particle dosages.
Raptor: sketching games with a tabletop computer

description: Game sketching is used to identify enjoyable designs for digital games without the expense of fully implementing them. We present Raptor, a novel tool for sketching games. Raptor shows how table-top interaction can effectively support the ideation phase of game design by enabling collaboration in the design and testing process. Raptor heavily relies on simple gesture-based interaction, mixed-reality interaction involving physical props and digital artifacts, Wizard-of-Oz demonstration gameplay sketching, and fluid change of roles between designer and tester. An evaluation of Raptor using seven groups of three people showed that a sketching tool based on a tabletop computer indeed supports collaborative game sketching better than a more traditional PC-based tool.

description: Mitotic spindle orientation is postulated to be regulated by two mechanisms: (1) Hertwig’s rule in which cells divide perpendicular to their major axis and (2) cortical cues arising from the spatial distribution of extracellular matrix. It was shown that cortical cues override cell geometry in dictating mitotic spindle orientation for cells cultured on 2D surfaces. In this study, we seek to investigate the interplay between cell geometry and cortical cues in determining mitotic spindle orientation for cells cultured on 3D microgratings. Here, cell geometry is manipulated by culturing RPE-1 and HeLa cells on different micrograting widths while cortical cues are modified by ablating focal adhesion contacts using cytochalasin D. We find a significant correlation between cell aspect ratio and spindle angles. Unexpectedly, disruption of cortical cues through focal adhesion inhibition did not lead to spindle misorientation in both RPE-1 and HeLa. Instead, spindle orientation was perturbed by disruption of microtubules (MTs) to a greater degree than abolishment of cortical focal adhesion cues. These results indicate that cell geometry is more important than cortical cues in maintaining proper spindle orientation and that MTs play an important role in spindle orientation for cells grown on 3D microgratings. To incorporate our findings of cell geometry and MTs as important players in spindle orientation, we developed a computational force balance model that relates both cell elongation, astral MTs to spindle angles and found good agreement between the model and experimental data.

description: While it is still most common for information visualization researchers to develop new visualizations from a data-or taskdriven perspective, there is growing interest in understanding the types of visualizations people create by themselves for personal use. As part of this recent direction, we have studied a large collection of whiteboards in a research institution, where people make active use of combinations of words, diagrams and various types of visuals to help them further their thought processes. Our goal is to arrive at a better understanding of the nature of visuals that are created spontaneously during brainstorming, thinking, communicating, and general problem solving on whiteboards. We use the qualitative approaches of open coding, interviewing, and affinity diagramming to explore the use of recognizable and novel visuals, and the interplay between visualization and diagrammatic elements with words, numbers and labels. We discuss the potential implications of our findings on information visualization design.
Lipopolysaccharide signaling in endothelial cells
Creators: name: Dauphinee, Shauna Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The endothelium plays a critical role in coordinating the innate immune response through the regulation of vascular tone, leukocyte recruitment and transmigration, and hemostasis. These functions are mediated, in part, by the signaling cascades initiated upon recognition of bacterial and viral products by a family of transmembrane receptors known as Toll-like receptors (TLRs). In endothelial cells, exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a major cell wall constituent of Gram negative bacteria, results in endothelial activation through TLR4. Recruitment of the adapter protein, MyD88, to the receptor facilitates association of serine threonine kinases of the IL-1 receptor associated kinase (IRAK) family. The IRAKs initiate a phosphorylation cascade through TNFR-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) culminating in activation of proinflammatory signaling pathways including NF-κB and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) pathways. This thesis investigates signaling molecules and pathways downstream of TLR4 in endothelial cells. Specifically, contained herein is a description of the role of heterotrimeric G proteins in endothelial TLR signaling. This thesis identifies for the first time the function of these proteins in multiple TLR signaling pathways. In addition, the work presented here describes the identification and characterization of a novel TLR4 signaling molecule, SAM and SH3 domain containing protein 1 (SASH1). SASH1 promotes LPS-induced NF-κB and JNK, by functioning as a scaffold molecule to bind TRAF6, transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase (TAK1) and IκB-kinase (IKK), thereby increasing proinflammatory cytokine production. The distinct functions of the endothelium in innate immunity highlight the need for an understanding of the signaling cascades initiated by LPS in endothelial cells and will be crucial to our understanding of the pathophysiology of sepsis in the clinic.

What + when = how: The timelines approach to consistency in networked games
Creators: name: Savery, Cheryl
name: Graham, T.C. Nicholas
Publisher: name: IEEE
Year: 2011

description: Consistency maintenance techniques used in networked multiplayer games require a tradeoff between the degree of consistency and the responsiveness to player commands. The choice of which technique is most appropriate depends upon the specific game situation. However, all techniques share the need to deal with time as well as with game state data. This can make implementing consistency maintenance techniques difficult. The solution is to have a programming model that is better able to deal with time. In this paper, we present such a programming model, timelines. Timelines allow for the explicit treatment of time and have been implemented as part of the Janus toolkit.

description: For many software projects, bug tracking systems play a central role in supporting collaboration between the developers and the users of the software. To better understand this collaboration and how tool support can be improved, we have quantitatively and qualitatively analysed the questions asked in a sample of 600 bug reports from the MOZILLA and ECLIPSE projects. We categorised the questions and analysed response rates and times by category and project. Our results show that the role of users goes beyond simply reporting bugs: their active and ongoing participation is important for making progress on the bugs they report. Based on the results, we suggest four ways in which bug tracking systems can be improved.

description: The use of Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) platforms is increasingly being considered as a vehicle for remote work and in K-12 distance learning. Because collaboration skills are vital for students' holistic growth and the future job market, the need for new approaches to collaboration support in immersive digital learning environments is growing. Computer-supported collaboration scripting and comprehensive training are identified as potential ways to address group work support and improve learning outcomes in IVR-based learning environments. The project focus is on the purposeful design of the online environment fostering self-efficacy and scaffolding to achieve effective collaboration and produce socially shared regulation. The findings of this project have significant implications for teaching and learning collaboration skills in synchronous IVR-based learning environments, where students' trajectories can be divergent and unanticipated. The project seeks to prepare students for the collaborative technological future of remote teamwork by leveraging VR affordances and automated real-time pro-social prompting.
Addendum 1.0
Virtual Reality (VR) learning environments provide immersive and interactive experiences that have the potential to enhance educational outcomes. Collaborative problem-solving tasks in VR environments require effective communication and cooperation among group members. Intelligent Social Agents (ISAs) are computer-based characters programmed with human-like attributes that can interact and collaborate with users in the virtual world. This report aims to investigate the impact of ISA personality on reducing cognitive load when groups collaborate on problem-solving tasks in VR learning environments. The report combines information gathered from literature to analyze ISA personalities' potential effects and implications on cognitive load, group interactions, and learning experiences in this context.

description: We present recent sensitivity measurements of the LISA Technology Package interferometer with articulated mirrors as test masses, actuated by piezo-electric transducers. The required longitudinal displacement resolution of 9 pm/sqrt[Hz] above 3 mHz has been demonstrated with an angular noise that corresponds to the expected in on-orbit operation. The excess noise contribution of this test mass jitter onto the sensitive displacement readout was completely subtracted by fitting the angular interferometric data streams to the longitudinal displacement measurement. Thus, this cross-coupling constitutes no limitation to the required performance of the LISA Technology Package interferometry.

description: Polydiacetylene (PDA)-based liposome have been attractive as sensory platforms owing to their applicability in simultaneous detection of colorimetric and fluorogenic signals. As PDA show low quantum yield, gold nanoparticles (GNPs) were used to amplify the fluorescence of the PDA by localized surface plasmon resonance. In this study, positively and negatively surface charged GNPs at different concentrations were complexed with negatively charged PDA liposome (GNP/PDA). Positively charged GNPs caused tight binding at the surface of negatively charged PDA liposome, became aggregated due to colloidal instability and thereby dramatically quenched the fluorescence of PDA. While negatively charged GNPs sparsely placed on the surface of the PDA liposome, at the optimized complexing condition, generated ∼10%of fluorescence amplification compared to non-complexed PDA liposome as observed by the photoluminescence spectra of the stable colloids. Under the optimum incubation conditions, GNP/PDA liposome that specifically binds with Pb2+ via its phenolic group, exhibited increased fluorescence intensity compared to the non-complexed PDA liposome-at the same concentration of target Pb2+.

description: This article presents a framework of 6 distinct yet interrelated factors for describing information flow that arose from a combination of field studies in a hospital ward and a review of literature. These studies investigated the dynamics of nurses' information flow, focusing on shift change. The InfoFlow Framework's 6 interrelated factors that affect the information flow are information, personnel, artifacts, spatiality, temporality, and communication mode. The framework is presented as a tool for evaluating new health care technologies. The 6 factors and their interrelationships are described first. Next, this structure is applied as a tool to aid in the analysis of the data generated in a study that assesses technology in use. Then the use of the framework is illustrated by structuring it as a set of questions that can be used as a guide for other researchers to generate coherent descriptions of the information flow and to evaluate technology deployments. Finally, there is a discussion of areas where the InfoFlow framework may be applied to allow an evaluation of the extent to which the framework may be generalized to other settings.

Extreme Product Line Engineering – Refactoring for Variability: A Test-Driven Approach
Creators: name: Ghanam, Yaser
name: Maurer, Frank
Publisher: name: Springer
Year: 2010

description: Software product lines - families of similar but not identical software products - need to address the issue of feature variability. That is, a single feature might require various implementations for different customers. Also, features might need optional extensions that are needed by some but not all products. Software product line engineering manages variability by conducting a thorough domain analysis upfront during the planning phases. However, upfront, heavyweight planning approaches are not well-aligned with the values of minimalistic practices like XP where bottom-up, incremental development is common. In this paper, we introduce a bottom-up, test-driven approach to introduce variability to systems by reactively refactoring existing code. We support our approach with an eclipse plug-in to automate the refactoring process. We evaluate our approach by a case study to determine the feasibility and practicality of the approach.

Exploring Spiral Defect Chaos in Generalized Swift-Hohenberg Models with Mean Flow

description: We explore the phenomenon of spiral defect chaos in two types of generalized Swift-Hohenberg model equations that include the effects of long-range drift velocity or mean flow. We use spatially-extended domains and integrate the equations for very long times to study the pattern dynamics as the magnitude of the mean flow is varied. The magnitude of the mean flow is adjusted via a real and continuous parameter that accounts for the fluid boundary conditions on the horizontal surfaces in a convecting layer. For weak values of the mean flow we find that the patterns exhibit a slow coarsening to a state dominated by large and very slowly moving target defects. For strong enough mean flow we identify the existence of spatiotemporal chaos which is indicated by a positive leading order Lyapunov exponent. We compare the spatial features of the mean flow field with that of Rayleigh-Bénard convection and quantify their differences in the neighborhood of spiral defects.

description: We study complex work environments to enable innovative improvements. In this paper we report on a technique we have created to depict the complex work environments of operators in IT operations control centers, developed after a 3-day field study in a large operations center. Because of security issues and tight time constraints on the operators' work, this environment is not accessible to software teams. The technique is a Day-in-the-life scenario, which extends on the work of personas and scenarios. The scenario has two forms: a narrative, and a diagram. Our narrative captures typical daily events in the life of the operator and conveys the gist of their day in terms of attentional focus and tensions between and within their activities. The Day-in-the-life diagram uses the UML sequence diagram notation to depict the narrative visually, bringing important details of the day to the fore. These techniques especially capture the many activities of operators and the subsequent demands on an operators' attention.
Information Masking and Amplification: The Source Coding Setting

description: The complementary problems of masking and amplifying channel state information in the Gel'fand-Pinsker channel have recently been solved by Merhav and Shamai, and Kim et al., respectively. In this paper, we study a related source coding problem. Specifically, we consider the two-encoder source coding setting where one source is to be amplified, while the other source is to be masked. In general, there is a tension between these two objectives which is characterized by the amplification-masking tradeoff. In this paper, we give a single-letter description of this tradeoff. We apply this result, together with a recent theorem by Courtade and Weissman on multiterminal source coding, to solve a fundamental entropy characterization problem.

name: Park, Shelly
name: Maurer, Frank
Publisher: name: Springer
Year: 2009

description: This paper presents “ActiveStory Enhanced” as a tool that enables prototyping user interfaces and conducting usability tests in a way that is aligned with agile principles. The tool allows designers to sketch user interface prototypes as well as add basic interactions to provide navigation. Sketching can be done using a mouse or stylus on tablet PCs. Designers can then export the prototype to a web-based Wizard of Oz testing tool, allowing test participants to remotely walk through a UI while recording metrics such as mouse movements and time spent on pages. ASE improves on the original by providing some usability improvements, improved browser support, undo support, more control over the design and an improved pen and paper metaphor.
A Test-Driven Approach for Extracting Libraries of Reusable Components from Existing Applications

description: In agile approaches such as Extreme Programming, time is not spent on making sure that system components can be reused in similar systems. Therefore, there is a need to investigate whether reuse can be achieved by extracting reusable assets from existing applications. This paper presents an approach that relies on refactoring and testing practices for extracting reusable assets from existing applications. The approach creates reusable APIs in a bottom-up fashion, on demand when a new application might benefit from component in an existing application. The extraction process is guided and supported by the usage examples and the testing scenarios in the existing application and the new one. The paper presents a case study, where the approach was used to extract components from the user interface of an existing application, wrap these components in an API, and use this API in the existing and new applications.

description: Merek merupakan tanda dan ciri-ciri yang melekat kepada barang dan jasa. Sebagai suatu bagian dari kekayaan intelektual, pemilik dari merek dagang mendapatkan hak eksklusif untuk melindungi merek dagangnya. Pelindungan yang diberikan terhadap merek dagang perlu dan layak untuk diimbangi dengan penggunaan asas itikad yang baik didalamnya. Pemerintah telah melindungi merek sebagai bagian dari kekayaan intelektual berdasarkan Undang-Undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2016, meskipun tantangan tetap ada seperti adanya tindak perundungan merek dagang. Perundungan merek dagang sudah cukup umum terjadi di Indonesia, namun belum ada pengaturan yang jelas untuk memberikan pelindungan kepada pegiat usaha dalam menghindari terjadinya tindak perundungan merek dagang. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah menggunakan pendekatan secara yuridis normatif dengan penggunaan studi dokumen atau bahan pustaka yang menggunakan data sekunder yang berupa bahan hukum primer, bahan hukum sekunder, dan bahan hukum tersier. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa berlakunya Undang-Undang Merek di Indonesia belum cukup melindungi pemilik merek dagang dari adanya praktik perundungan merek dagang, baik untuk pengusaha besar maupun terutama UMKM. Selain itu, hukum positif yang berlaku di Indonesia masih perlu mengatur secara lebih jelas terkait tindak perundungan merek dagang, dimulai dari kriteria dan indikator yang rasional serta implementasi asas itikad baik dalam pelindungan merek dagang.

description: This report presents groundwater level information collected during Geoscience Australia’s Musgrave Palaeovalley Project. The Musgrave Palaeovalley Project was conducted as part of Exploring for the Future (EFTF), an Australian Government funded geoscience data and information acquisition program. The eight-year, $225 million program aims to deliver new geoscience data and knowledge to inform decision-making by government, community, and industry on the sustainable development of Australia's mineral, energy, and groundwater resources.Groundwater level data was collected during two hydrogeochemical surveys undertaken in March and May 2023 based around the remote communities of Warburton, Kaltukatjara, Wanarn, Blackstone and Jameson in Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Sixteen bores were measured for their groundwater levels. The results are contained herein and within the attached CSV file.
A no-singularity scenario in loop quantum gravity

description: Canonical methods allow the derivation of effective gravitational actions from the behavior of space-time deformations reflecting general covariance. With quantum effects, the deformations and correspondingly the effective actions change, revealing dynamical implications of quantum corrections. A new systematic way of expanding these actions is introduced showing as a first result that inverse-triad corrections of loop quantum gravity simplify the asymptotic dynamics near a spacelike collapse singularity. By generic quantum effects, the singularity is removed.

description: We review several related investigations of the effects of the quantum stress tensor of a conformal field in inflationary cosmology. Particular attention will be paid to the effects of quantum stress tensor fluctuations as a source of density and tensor perturbations in inflationary models. These effects can possibly depend upon the total expansion factor during inflation, and hence be much larger than one might otherwise expect. They have the potential to contribute a non-scale invariant and non-Gaussian component to the primordial spectrum of perturbations, and might be observable.

Common pool resources and state intervention : why, when and how
Creators: name: Tedder, Sinclair John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The objective of this dissertation is to understand why, when and how a state or other agent should intervene in a common pool social-ecological system. The answers to these questions provide the building blocks of an intervention framework to assist policy analysts identify institutional failure related to the appropriation of a common pool resource and design appropriate institutional change. The dissertation rejects the use of institutional paradigms such as centralization or decentralization and follows a problem based approach to institutional change. The Institutional Analysis and Development framework provides the research’s methodological structure. The common pool resource intervention framework is developed in three parts. The first building block is developed by answering the ‘why’ and ‘when’ questions through a review of common pool resource and institutional literature. The result is an institutional failure model to assess the risk of resource degradation and identify its sources. The second building block is devised through a review of institutional change literature and the role of the state within that change. The outcome is a typology of state intervention modes that guides the intensity of intervention, if intervention is necessary. Finally, to understand how to intervene, the dissertation undertakes a content analysis of 16 case studies of institutional change within common pool resource social-ecological systems. The outcome is the third component of the framework: a set of intervention properties providing a structure and method of intervention. Chapter 7 provides a test case using the commercial harvest of salal in British Columbia. The intervention framework is intended to bridge theoretical literature with the practical requirements of resource managers. The research and test of the intervention framework shows that a problem-based approach is a useful method to respond to common pool resource dilemmas. By avoiding the top-down application of institutional paradigms as panaceas, the method can avoid scale-mismatch when resource degradation is threatened and unnecessary intrusion when intervention is unwarranted. The results contribute to institutional theory by revealing properties of social change and providing links between institutional forms in time.
