Jei JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ISSUES Vol. XXXVII No. 2 June 2003 Cognitive and Cultural Embeddedness: Combining Institutional Economics and Economic Sociology David Dequech A minority of economists and a relatively larger contingent of scholars in other social sci- ences have attempted to show that the neoclassical theory of economic behavior has seri- ous limitations and to develop alternative approaches.
Peak-to-peak amplitude. Peak to peak redirects here. For the school, see Peak to Peak Charter School. Peak-to-peak amplitude is the change between peak (highest amplitude value) and trough (lowest amplitude value, which can be negative). With appropriate circuitry, peak-to-peak amplitudes of electric oscillations can be measured by meters or by viewing the waveform on an oscilloscope. Peak-to-peak is a straightforward measurement on an oscilloscope, the peaks of the waveform being easily identified and measured against the graticule.
Peak oil refers to the point in time when the maximum rate of global petroleum extraction is reached, after which the rate of oil production enters terminal decline. The concept is based on the observed production rates of individual oil wells, and the combined production rate of a field of related oil wells.ptimistic estimations of peak production forecast the global decline will begin by 2020 or later, and assume major investments in alternatives will occur before the oil crisis begins, without requiring major changes in the lifestyle of heavily oil-consuming nations.
