Environmental pollution as engine of industrialization [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation, 2018
Abstract This paper analyzes the dynamics of a small open economy with two sectors (a farming sector and an industrial one), heterogeneous agents (workers and entrepreneurs) and free inter-sectoral labor mobility. Labor productivity in the first sector is negatively affected by environmental pollution generated by both sectors, whereas in the second ...

Ecosystem engineering, environmental decay and environmental states of landscapes [PDF]

open access: yesOikos, 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]

open access: yesCurrent 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.

Assessing capacity to deploy direct air capture technology at the country level – an expert and information entropy comparative analysis

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Communications, 2023
An ever-dwindling carbon budget, resulting in temperature rise of 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels projected between 2030–2035, has generated a necessity to explore climate mitigation technologies such as direct air capture (DAC).
