Simply put, small world play refers to a specific type of play for young children, using resources representing an environment and characters on a small scale. Kundu S, Chattopadhyay S (2014).

Gonçalves agreed, saying that, compared to agribusiness, small-scale farmers are both more efficient and more environmentally friendly. He described a network of more than 3,000 organic farmers in Brazil called the Ecovida Agroecology Network, which exchanges products across regions within the country and is, according to Gonçalves, an ‘inspirational’ example of how small-scale farming can combine incomes for farmers with environmental services and food production. A small-world network of neurons can exhibit short-term memory. A computer model developed by Sara Solla [38] [39] had two stable states, a property (called bistability) thought to be important in memory storage. An activating pulse generated self-sustaining loops of communication activity among the neurons. A second pulse ended this activity. The pulses switched the system between stable states: flow (recording a "memory"), and stasis (holding it). Small world neuronal networks have also been used as models to understand seizures.

Nuscale’s system is also integral, meaning the fuel, steam and generator will all be in one vessel. “This reduces the risk of accidents because there are less pipes to break,” says Reyes. The technology also uses the core’s heat to drive the coolant flow, eliminating the need for coolant pumps and moving parts that could fail. Each reactor will be self-contained, with multiple reactors sharing a cooling pool.

Chinese support for SMRs

This is the universal standard for smallholder farms, but of course, two hectares is a somewhat arbitrary cut-off. SMR development is proceeding in Western countries with a lot of private investment, including small companies. The involvement of these new investors indicates a profound shift taking place from government-led and -funded nuclear R&D to that led by the private sector and people with strong entrepreneurial goals, often linked to a social purpose. That purpose is often deployment of affordable clean energy, without carbon dioxide emissions.

Bibcode: 1999PhRvL..82.3180B. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.82.3180. S2CID 119398712.A small-world network is a graph characterized by a high clustering coefficient and low distances. On an example of social network, high clustering implies the high probability that two friends of one person are friends themselves. The low distances, on the other hand, mean that there is a short chain of social connections between any two people (this effect is known as six degrees of separation). [1] Specifically, a small-world network is defined to be a network where the typical distance L between two randomly chosen nodes (the number of steps required) grows proportionally to the logarithm of the number of nodes N in the network, that is: [2] L ∝ log ⁡ N {\displaystyle L\propto \log N} New ways to provide food portions in smaller sizes to stimulate reduction of food consumption and reduction of food waste Ponten SC, Bartolomei F, Stam CJ (April 2007).

But SMR opponents maintain that no matter the size, nuclear power has unresolved cost and safety concerns. To realise savings through mass manufacturing, there would need to be a standardised SMR design, critics say; currently, there are dozens. And SMRs would also have to be built in large quantities. But for a company to invest in making reactors and their components, it would need a reliable market, and many private investors are still wary of the new technology. Andrew Storer, chief executive of the Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Center, which forecasts markets for nuclear power manufacturers, says that as far as supply chain companies go, “We’re advising people, ‘Don’t invest yet.’”
