The Olduvai Theory of Industrial Civilization The transient-pulse theory 1. Pre Industrial Phase [c. 3 000 000 BC to 1765] A - Tool making (c. 3 000 000 BC); B - Fire used (c. 1 000 000 BC); C - Neolithic agricultural revolution (c. 8 000 BC); D - Watts steam engine of 1765 starting the Industrial Phase (1930-2025) 2. Industrial Phase [1930 to 2025, estimated] E - Per capita energy-use 37% of peak value; F - Peak energy-use; G - Present energy-use;H - Per capita energy-use 37% of peak value 3.

AND A SAUDI SAYING “My father rode a camel. I drive a car. My son flies a jet-plane. His son shall ride a camel!”
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT • Sustainable Development: to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs • Strategy Mix: • efficiency – enhanced productivity / resource • consistency – enhanced economies embedded in the natural cycles • sufficiency – new concept of prosperity / satisfaction / material wealth • Management rules: • the use of renewable natural resources must not exceed their regeneration rates • the use of non-renewable natural resources must not exceed the rate of substituting their respective functions • the emissions of pollutants must not exceed nature’s capability to adapt
THE CONCEPT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT • The concept of noosphere (“nous” – mind, “sphere” – the Earth’s cover) V. Vernadsky, Sorbonne, 1922 • “Noosphere - the modern stage of the biosphere development (environment) connected with the active role of the Homo sapiens” Edward Le Roy, 1927 г. • The theory connecting natural sciences (biospherology) with social science. Pierre de Chardin, 1928 • Transition from One-Dimensional Development to its Harmonization with Respect to Three (Four) constituents: • {Economic; Ecological; Social} The beginning of the process - 1970s. • {Economic; Ecological; Social; Institutional} 1996, Commission on Sust. Dev.,United Nations.
THE CONCEPT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT “System coordination of economic, ecological and human development in such a way that from one generation to the other the quality and safety of life should not decrease, the environmental conditions should not worsen and the social progress should meet the needs of every person” Vladimir Vernadsky, 1947
DIMENSIONS & SCALES • Multidimensions: • Economical; • Ecological; • Social & Institutional. • Multicriteria: • Economical: Growth competitiveness index, Economic freedom index; • Ecological: Environmental sustainability index; • Social & Institutional: Quality of life index, Human development index, Knowledge society index.
DIMENSIONS & SCALES • Multiscales: • Energy system; • Local cluster of end-users • Urban / Rural agglomeration; • Sub-region; • Country; • Region.
CLASSICAL APPROACH IN MODELLING • General Laws of Thermodynamics & Particular Conditions • Process Decomposition • Global (lumped) & Local (distributed) Process Parameters
MULTI-DIMENSIONAL MODELING Multi-dimensional models or „multi-scale” as well as the integrated multi-phenomenological models or „multi- physics” have been developed in time, covering today a large number of applications including the materials science, the nano/microelectronics, the ecological reconstruction, the deactivation of the atomic armament and biotechnologies. The multi-dimensional modeling approaches (MMD) can be grouped in the following generic categories: - MMD with the transfer of the parameters – which integrates two or more models associated to different dimensional and/or temporal scales and the resulted parameters based on a model are used as input data for the other models; - MMD with simultaneously solved multi-dimensional models (in the way used in Concurrent Engineering) – which integrates more mutual influenced models which leads to the necessity of simultaneous simulations with mutual data exchange protocols; - MMD unitary integrated – consisting of the use of a mathematical device that includes terms associated to different dimensional and/or temporal scales in a unitary configuration.
