Poverty Targeting, Resource Degradation and Heterogeneous Endowments A Micro-Simulation Analysis of a Less Favored Ethiopian Village [PDF]
Persistent and widespread poverty in less favored areas (LFAs) is attributed to fragile natural resources and poor markets. Limited assets may keep households outside the reach of poverty policies targeted at LFAs.

Energy policy in transition: evidence from energy supply and demand in the UK [PDF]
, 2013 Whilst much of Europe is turning to supplier obligations in order to compel energy companies to deliver energy efficiency improvements, the UK, after 18 years of using such schemes, will from 2013 have a financing scheme as the central delivery mechanism,

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Cermets (60 vol.% AISI 316L stainless steel, 40 vol.% recycled MgO), intended for use in aluminum electrolysis, were pre‐oxidized in three furnaces with different heating technologies and subjected to a cryolite corrosion test. The different atmospheres influenced the formation of oxide layers, which in turn affected corrosion resistance and ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Phase‐field simulations coupled with dislocation‐density‐based crystal plasticity modeling reproduce γ′ rafting behavior in single‐crystal Ni‐based superalloys under varied loading conditions. The model captures both macroscopic creep and microscopic morphology evolution, with results matching high‐temperature creep experiments.

Fuel Poverty: a Matter of Household Resources or a Matter of Dwelling Efficiency? ESRI Research Bulletin 2015/2/3 [PDF]
, 2015 The concept of fuel poverty refers to the inability to afford adequate heat (and other energy services) in the home. There is increasing concern with fuel poverty, because of rising energy prices in recent years and because the recession has left many ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Copper‐based composites enhanced with carbon feature convenient mechanical properties and favorable electric conductivity. Processing via deformation and thermomechanical treatments can introduce advantageous microstructures further enhancing their performance. Herein, copper–graphene powder‐based composites are directly consolidated via rotary swaging

A Lightweight Procedural Layer for Hybrid Experimental–Computational Workflows in Materials Science
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.We unveil a prototype hybrid‐workflow framework that fuses automatedcomputation with hands‐on experiments. Built atop pyiron, a lightweight, parameterized layer translates procedure descriptions into executable manual steps, syncing instrument settings, human interventions, and data capture in real‐time today.
