Which direction for sustainable development? A time series comparison of the impacts of redistributive versus market policies in Bolivia and South Korea

Sustainable Development, Volume 31, Issue 5, Page 3408-3427, October 2023., 2023
Abstract This article examines two major policy frameworks for achieving sustainable development: the market‐based ‘Green Economy’ approach (exemplified by South Korea), and the redistributive ‘Living Well’ approach (exemplified by Bolivia). We compare the two paradigms in qualitative terms using document analysis, and we assess quantitatively how they

Mass Gatherings, Health, and Well‐Being: From Risk Mitigation to Health Promotion

Social Issues and Policy Review, Volume 15, Issue 1, Page 114-145, January 2021., 2021
Abstract Mass gatherings are routinely viewed as posing risks to physical health. However, social psychological research shows mass gathering participation can also bring benefits to psychological well‐being. We describe how both sets of outcomes can be understood as arising from the distinctive forms of behavior that may be found when people—even ...

Determination of Rate Constants and Reaction Orders of Vanadium‐Ion Kinetics on Carbon Fiber Electrodes.

ChemElectroChem, Volume 7, Issue 21, Page 4314-4325, November 2, 2020., 2020
Beyond porosity: The electrodes of vanadium redox‐flow batteries are usually carbon felt materials, whose porous structure makes detailed investigations of the vanadium‐ion kinetics difficult. Studies on single carbon‐fiber electrodes from commercial carbon felt materials can contribute to a better understanding of the electrode processes.

New considerations for PM, Black Carbon and particle number concentration for air quality monitoring across different European cities [PDF]

, 2011
In many large cities of Europe standard air quality limit values of particulate matter (PM) are exceeded. Emissions from road traffic and biomass burning are frequently reported to be the major causes. As a consequence of these exceedances a large number

The effects of CO2, climate and land-use on terrestrial carbon balance, 1920-1992: An analysis with four process-based ecosystem models [PDF]

, 2001
The concurrent effects of increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration, climate variability, and cropland establishment and abandonment on terrestrial carbon storage between 1920 and 1992 were assessed using a standard simulation protocol with four process ...

Homes as machines: Exploring expert and public imaginaries of low carbon housing futures in the United Kingdom [PDF]

, 2017
Low carbon housing policies embody visions of the future that shape and constrain current choices between different technological pathways. These socio-technical imaginaries include expectations around new ways of living and interacting with technology ...

Optimal Control of Diesel Engines: Numerical Methods, Applications, and Experimental Validation

Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
In response to the increasingly stringent emission regulations and a demand for ever lower fuel consumption, diesel engines have become complex systems. The exploitation of any leftover potential during transient operation is crucial. However, even an experienced calibration engineer cannot conceive all the dynamic cross couplings between the many ...

The effect of butanol isomers on the formation of carbon particulate matter in fuel-rich premixed ethylene flames [PDF]

, 2019
The effect of the butanol isomers on carbon particulate matter formation was studied by substituting up to 20% of the total carbon of ethylene, fed to premixed flames with different equivalence ratios, with the four butanol isomers.

Partitioned Quasi‐Newton Approximation for Direct Collocation Methods and Its Application to the Fuel‐Optimal Control of a Diesel Engine

Journal of Applied Mathematics, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
The numerical solution of optimal control problems by direct collocation is a widely used approach. Quasi‐Newton approximations of the Hessian of the Lagrangian of the resulting nonlinear program are also common practice. We illustrate that the transcribed problem is separable with respect to the primal variables and propose the application of dense ...

Life Cycle Costs and Life Cycle Assessment for the Harvesting, Conversion, and the Use of Switchgrass to Produce Electricity

International Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
This paper considers both LCA and LCC of the pyrolysis of switchgrass to use as an energy source in a conventional power plant. The process consists of cultivation, harvesting, transportation, storage, pyrolysis, transportation, and power generation.
