Mechanisms of De‐icing by Surface Rayleigh and Plate Lamb Acoustic Waves
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Ice accretion impacts daily life, renewable energy generation, maintenance, and security in industries and aeronautics. Acoustic waves (AW) are a promising method for ice removal, although de‐icing mechanisms require further investigation to optimize energy efficiency.

A Simple Linear Algebraic Approach to Capture the Dynamics of the Circular Flow of Income [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 This article has one single purpose: introduce a new and simple, yet highly insightful approach to capture, fully and quantitatively, the dynamics of the circular flow of income in economies. The proposed approach relies mostly on basic linear algebraic concepts and has deep implications for the disciplines of economics, physics and econophysics.

Sustainability and the circular economy
, 2022 No Sustainability is a triad including techno-economic efficiency, compatibility with the “Planetary Boundaries”, and equity - enabling a decent quality of life for all. Circular Economy models often focus only on closing material flows in order to increase economic activity or market share. This overlooks the equity dimension.

Circularity of Thermodynamical Material Networks: Indicators, Examples, and Algorithms [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The transition towards a circular economy has gained importance over the last years since the traditional linear take-make-dispose paradigm is not sustainable in the long term. Recently, thermodynamical material networks (TMNs) [1] have been proposed as an approach to design material flows based on the idea that any supply chain can be seen as a set of

Mushroom cultivation in the circular economy [PDF]
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2018 Commercial mushrooms are produced on lignocellulose such as straw, saw dust, and wood chips. As such, mushroom-forming fungi convert low-quality waste streams into high-quality food. Spent mushroom substrate (SMS) is usually considered a waste product. This review discusses the applications of SMS to promote the transition to a circular economy.
