Some experts believe that Japan needs to maintain a diverse energy mix and also diversify the ways it secures imported fuel. A logical course for Japan would be to invest more in research and development on efficiency in renewable and non-traditional energy sources, said Robert Dujarric, a faculty member at Temple's Japan Campus. "Energy is a challenge for Japan but it is also an enormous opportunity" to develop a path for "thriving in a lower fossil fuel environment."

It is only in the last few years that the law has begun to recognize what science has long known: that adolescent brain development takes more time than previously thought.

Through the new field of organizational genetics, Temple Fox School of Business Professor Youngjin Yoo and colleagues are studying the unique aspects of digital technology that cause its development to look less like intentional design and more like natural evolution. "Just as modern theories of evolution showed connections between seemingly disparate biological species, so are we seeking to identify digital objects’ building blocks, or genotypes, to bring clarity to the evolution of business processes and technological innovations," he said.
