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, ...
Operationalizing risk-based cumulative effect assessments in the marine environment
(SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, 2020)
Ecosystem-based management requires an assessment of the cumulative effects of human pressures and environmental change. The operationalization and integration of cumulative effects assessments (CEA) into decision-making ...
UV-Selective Optically Transparent Zn(O,S)-Based Solar Cells
(Wiley, 2020-11)
This work reports experimental evidence of a photovoltaic effect in transparent UV-selective Zn(O,S)-based heterojunctions. Zn(O,S) has a strong interest for the development of UV-selective solar cells with high transparency ...
Advanced Research Trends in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
(Royal Society Of Chemistry, 2021-03-10)
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are an efficient photovoltaic technology for powering electronic applications such as wireless sensors with indoor light. Their low cost and abundant materials, as well as their capability ...
Production of Docosahexaenoic Acid and Odd-Chain Fatty Acids by Microalgae Schizochytrium limacinum Grown on Waste-Derived Volatile Fatty Acids
(MDPI, 2022-04-14)
Heterotrophic microalgae are recognized as a source of bioactive compounds. However, there are still some drawbacks for their use at an industrial scale associated with the high cost of glucose, the main carbon source in ...
Study of ¯B0→D+h−(h=K/π) decays at Belle
(American Physical Society, 2022)
[EN] We present a measurement of the branching fractions of the Cabibbo favored (B) over bar (0) -> D+pi(-) and the Cabibbo suppressed (B) over bar (0) -> D+K- decays. We find B((B) over bar (0) -> D+pi(-)) = (2.48 +/- ...
Unparalleled selectivity and electronic structure of heterometallic [LnLn′Ln] molecules as 3-qubit quantum gates
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022)
[EN] Heterometallic lanthanide [LnLn'] coordination complexes that are accessible thermodynamically are very scarce because the metals of this series have very similar chemical behaviour. Trinuclear systems of this category ...
Three sides to every story: Gender perspectives in energy transition pathways in Canada, Kenya and Spain
(Elsevier, 2020)
Transitions toward a low-carbon future are not only technical and economical, but also deeply social and gendered. The gendered nature of energy transitions is often implicit and unexplored. As a corrective, this paper ...
