Identifying optimal technological portfolios for European power generation towards climate change mitigation: A robust portfolio analysis approach
(Elsevier, 2019)
Here, an integrative approach is proposed to link integrated assessment modelling results from the GCAM model with a novel portfolio analysis framework. This framework comprises a bi-objective optimisation model, Monte ...
Introducing the H2020 AQUACROSS project: Knowledge, Assessment, and Management for AQUAtic Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services aCROSS EU policies
(Elsevier, 2019)
The AQUACROSS project was an unprecedented effort to unify policy concepts, knowledge, and management of freshwater, coastal, and marine ecosystems to support the cost-effective achievement of the targets set by the EU ...
Imidazolium-based co-poly(ionic liquid) membranes for CO2/N2 separation
(ACS, 2019-01-04)
The development of efficient carbon dioxide capture and separation technologies is at the fore front of the priorities in the climate change policies. Poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) have been emerging as extremely promising ...
Building Risk into the Mitigation/Adaptation Decisions simulated by Integrated Assessment Models
(Springer Nature, 2019)
This paper proposes an operationally simple and easily generalizable methodology to incorporate climate change damage uncertainty into Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs). First uncertainty is transformed into a risk measure ...
Determining discount rates for the evaluation of natural assets in land-use planning: An application of the Equivalency Principle
(Elsevier, 2019)
One of the most pressing issues when making decisions over long-term environmental problems is deciding on an appropriate discount rate. This can be a highly technical discussion. While some argue in favour of market rates, ...
Homelessness and self-rated health: evidence from a national survey of homeless people in Spain
(BMC, 2019-08-10)
Background: Internationally, acute homelessness is commonly associated with complex health and social care needs. While homelessness can be understood as an outcome of structural housing exclusion requiring housing led ...
Progress toward Equitably Managed Protected Areas in Aichi Target 11: A Global Survey
(Oxford University Press, 2019-03)
The Convention on Biological Diversity Aichi Target 11 requires its 193 signatory parties to incorporate social equity into protected area (PA) management by 2020. However, there is limited evidence of progress toward this ...
Non-invasive diagnosis of viability in seeds and lichens by infrared thermography under controlled environmental conditions
(BMC, 2019-12)
Background: Non-invasive procedures for the diagnosis of viability of plant or fungal tissues would be valuable for scientific, industrial and biomonitoring purposes. Previous studies showed that infrared thermography (IRT) ...
Graphene as Vehicle for Ultrafast Lithium Ion Capacitor Development Based on Recycled Olive Pit Derived Carbons
(Electrochemical Society, 2019-08-21)
Herein we report a series of lithium ion capacitors (LICs) with extraordinary energy-to-power ratios based on olive pit recycled carbons and supported on graphene as a conducting matrix. LICs typically present limited ...
Unprecedented Multicomponent Organocatalytic Synthesis of Propargylic Esters via CO2 Activation
(Wiley‐VCH, 2019-02-19)
An efficient and straightforward organocatalytic method for the
direct, multicomponent carboxylation of terminal alkynes with
CO2 and organochlorides, towards propargylic esters, is reported
for the first time. ...
