The sustainable management of land and fisheries resources using multicriteria techniques: A meta-analysis
(Land, 2020)
In recent years modern societies have attached a multifunctional requirement to the use of renewable resources, making their optimal sustainable management more complex. In the last decades, in many cases, this complexity ...
Combined effects of life-history traits and human impact on extinction risk of freshwater megafauna.
(CONSERVATION BIOLOGY, 2020)
Megafauna species are intrinsically vulnerable to human impact. Freshwater megafauna (i.e., freshwater animals ≥30 kg, including fishes, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians) are subject to intensive and increasing threats. ...
Measurements of branching fractions and asymmetry parameters of Xi(0)(c) -> Lambda(K)over-bar*(0), Xi(0)(c) -> Sigma(0)(K)over-bar*(0), and Xi(0)(c) -> Sigma(+) K*(-) decays at Belle
(Springer, 2021-06-28)
Using a data sample of 980 fb(-1) collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e(+) e(-) collider, we study the processes of Xi(0)(c) -> Lambda(K) over bar*(0), Xi(0)(c) -> Sigma(0)(K) over bar*(0), and ...
Air Pollution, Residential Greenness and Metabolic Dysfunction during Early Pregnancy in the INfancia y Medio Ambiente (INMA) Cohort
(MDPI, 2021-09-04)
Despite extensive study, the role of air pollution in gestational diabetes remains unclear, and there is limited evidence of the beneficial impact of residential greenness on metabolic dysfunction during pregnancy. We used ...
Producing Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids: A Review of Sustainable Sources and Future Trends for the EPA and DHA Market
(MDPI, 2020-11-16)
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (Omega-3 PUFA) are recognized as being essential compounds for human nutrition and health. The human body generates only low levels of Omega-3 PUFA. Conventional sources of Omega-3 PUFA ...
Measurement of Differential Branching Fractions of Inclusive B→Xuℓ+νℓ Decays
(American Physical Society, 2021-12-22)
The first measurements of differential branching fractions of inclusive semileptonic BX_{u}ℓ^{+}nu_{ℓ} decays are performed using the full Belle data set of 711fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity at the upsilon(4S) resonance ...
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 ...
Natural insurance as condition for market insurance: Climate change adaptation in agriculture
(Elsevier, 2020)
This paper focuses on the potential use of insurance as a climate change adaptation mechanism in agriculture. We analyse the attractiveness of a climate risk insurance scheme and the choices farmers face between adaptation ...
Nanocomposite Scaffolds for Monitoring of Drug Diffusion in Three-Dimensional Cell Environments by Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
(American Chemical Society, 2021-10-27)
[EN]Monitoring dynamic processes in complex cellular environments requires the integration of uniformly distributed detectors within such three-dimensional (3D) networks, to an extent that the sensor could provide real-time ...
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, ...
