Ecosystem engineering, environmental decay and environmental states of landscapes [PDF]
Oikos, 2012 Although environmental modification by ecosystem engineers influences species distributions and abundances and ecological process rates, general determinants of the environmental states of engineered landscapes are not well understood. Here we develop a general, spatially implicit model of engineered landscapes that includes parameters driving engineer

Engineering proteins for environmental applications [PDF]
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 1994 Recently, significant new insight has been obtained into the structure and catalytic mechanism of enzymes that convert environmental pollutants. Recent advances in protein engineering make it possible to use this information for improving the catalytic performance of such enzymes to achieve increased stability and expanded substrate range.

Progress and opportunities in modelling environmentally assisted cracking [PDF]
RILEM Technical Letters (2021), 2021 Environmentally assisted cracking phenomena are widespread across the transport, defence, energy and construction sectors. However, predicting environmentally assisted fractures is a highly cross-disciplinary endeavour that requires resolving the multiple material-environment interactions taking place. In this manuscript, an overview is given of recent

Exploring the Environmental Benefits of In-Process Isolation for Software Resilience [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Memory-related errors remain an important cause of software vulnerabilities. While mitigation techniques such as using memory-safe languages are promising solutions, these do not address software resilience and availability. In this paper, we propose a solution to build resilience against memory attacks into software, which contributes to environmental
