Consumer Preferences Determine Resilience of Ecological-Economic Systems
, 2011 We perform a model analysis to study the origins of limited resilience in coupled ecological-economic systems. We demonstrate that under open access to ecosystems for profit-maximizing harvesting forms, the resilience properties of the system are ...

Economic Resilience and the Dynamics of Capital Stock
SSRN Electronic JournalAbstract The role of capital in measuring resilience is investigated. Focusing on the current short-run and potential long-run growth paths of the economic system, we propose new indexes to separately measure adaptability and resistance to shocks, which are the essence of a system’s resilience.

Climate Change is Rewriting the Hydroclimatic Operating Envelope of Mines
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Climate change is shown to shift the hydroclimatic operating envelope of mines: 16.2% of represented mine locations have already changed Köppen subtype, rising to 42.5% by late century under SSP5‐8.5. Divergent water trajectories are filtered through geology, infrastructure and lifecycle stage, indicating that adaptation requires monitored, scenario ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.We develop bio‐based, star‐branched polyamides from itaconic acid and cadaverine with tunable lower critical solution temperature (LCST) transitions for dynamic solar modulation. Specific metal ion coordination with pyrrolidone moieties drives precise phase transitions via calcium‐induced salting‐in and sodium‐induced salting‐out mechanisms. Formulated

Toward Rational Design of Aqueous Battery Membranes Beyond the Selectivity‐Conductivity Trade‐Off
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This review examines sulfonated membranes for redox flow batteries. It focuses on proton transport mechanism, membrane design, performance limits, optimization strategies, and the pathway from molecular design to membrane manufacturing. ABSTRACT Electrochemical energy‐storage systems increasingly require membranes that can simultaneously deliver fast ...

European local authorities’ financial resilience in the face of austerity: a comparison across Austria, Italy and England [PDF]
, 2014 European local authorities have been particularly stricken by the current context of decline and cutback management, and represent an ideal place where to study how governments respond to shocks affecting their financial conditions and management.
