[3] The study used the World3 computer model to simulate the consequence of interactions between the Earth and human systems.
One account stated that Clarke's laws were developed after the editor of his works in French started numbering the author's assertions.

The definition of limit given here does not depend on how (or whether) f is defined at p. Bartle [9] refers to this as a deleted limit, because it excludes the value of f at p. The corresponding non-deleted limit does depend on the value of f at p, if p is in the domain of f. Let : be a real-valued function.
In Lacanianism, a limit-experience dissociates the subject from the experience that it exists in and identifies with, leading to a confrontation with the Real. [1] The concept first appears in the work of Karl Jaspers and later, in the work of the French philosopher Georges Bataille ; it subsequently became associated with French philosophers ...
Article 1 of the convention defined the term shelf in terms of exploitability rather than relying upon the geological definition.
