This paper dissents from Cotterill's argument that the food system of the 21st Century is more likely to converge towards a US manufacturer-led model than a UK retailerled model. By outlining critical features of the ten-year experience of leading UK food retailer, J. Sainsbury PLC, in the US, it sh

Optical/packet convergence is the process that merges optical transport infrastructure and data networking capabilities. In this paper, we discuss the process, its drivers, and the impact of this convergence on network management systems and overall network operations. We identify the business probl

We consider the local behavior of critical points of the functional Here, W is a double-well potential and U is a regular domain in R n , n ≥ 2. Assuming that {u ε }ε>0 is stable for n = 2 and locally energy-minimizing for n = 3, we show that the level sets of solutions converge in an average sense

## Abstract The unconventional behavior of equilibrium ratios and convergence pressures is illustrated for close‐boiling systems with activity coefficients exceeding 1 throughout the two‐phase region. Also presented is a correlation to predict convergence pressure, or the critical locus, of nonidea
