ABSTRACT Sustainable development (SD) was introduced in 1987 by the Brundtland Commission report. This leads to the induction of the circular economy (CE). Within these two frameworks, biogas technology plays a crucial role in facilitating the transformation of organic waste into energy and organic fertilizer without producing non‐recyclable waste ...

Synthesizing Archetypes of Social‐Ecological Systems: Identifying Common Building Blocks
ABSTRACT A growing number of studies apply the social‐ecological systems (SES) framework with its standardized set of variables to examine place‐based environmental governance. Yet, due to the wide diversity of social‐ecological systems, a general theory about how variables interact—and systems can be governed—lacks empirical support. Despite many case

Compared to experimental data of thermophysical properties of NFs, semi‐empirical models cannot estimate FOM correctly. For all working fluids, applying a converging channel instead of the canonical case was inefficient. Diverging channel was always favored compared to the canonical case. For less effective NFs, both lowering the reference velocity and
