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. Peak oil, an event based on M. King Hubbert's theory, is the point in time when the maximum rate of extraction of petroleum is reached, after which it is expected to enter terminal decline. Peak oil theory is based on the observed rise, peak, fall, and depletion of aggregate production rate in oil fields over time. It is often confused with oil depletion; however, whereas depletion refers to a period of falling reserves and supply, peak oil refers to peak, before terminal depletion occurs.
