A workable approach to food safety requires methods of detecting unsafe food, methods that still weren't obvious in the 1850s, 30 years after Accum's first report.
This requires methods of sensing and information-gathering, robust feedback loops, such as community meetings or monitoring systems that collect and layer together data to give a more accurate and dynamic picture of the city's strengths, assets, liabilities and vulnerabilities.
Designing stealth technologies for modern warships requires methods for signatures reduction (radar, infrared, etc).
The extraction of tacit knowledge requires methods that are based on stories.
Achieving the vision of LOP requires methods to ease the creation and the reuse of DSLs.
The development of flexible neural probes requires methods for reliable and controlled insertion into the brain.
Decision-making for nature-friendly land use in farming landscapes requires methods and indicators for assessing effects on biodiversity.
The genetic algorithm requires methods derived from the principles of biological evolution to produce a new generation from the initial generation.
Imaging the interaction between different combustion species under turbulent flame conditions requires methods that both are extremely fast and provide means to spectrally separate different signals.
Furthermore, reconstruction of the geometry of bright loops requires methods more advanced than the NLFFF (Aschwanden et al. 2014; Malanushenko et al. 2014).
Sustainable development requires methods and tools to measure and compare the environmental impacts of human activities for various products (goods and services).
