Dealing with change and uncertainty within the regulatory frameworks for flood defense infrastructure in selected European countries

Ecology and Society, 2016
Whereas existing literature on the interactions among law, adaptive governance, and resilience in the water sector often focuses on quality or supply issues, this paper addresses adaptation in national water laws in relation to increasing flood risks. In

Emerging Materials and Future Strategies for Solid Oxide Electrochemical Cells

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Solid oxide electrochemical cells operate under strongly coupled electrochemical and thermodynamic conditions, where performance is constrained by interactions among crystal structure, defect chemistry, and interfacial evolution. This review, based on a structure‐defect‐property‐durability framework, reveals the roles of lattice symmetry and defect ...

Main‐Chain Ion‐Pair Polybenzimidazole Membranes Enabling Reduced‐Temperature HT‐PEMFC Operation (Down to 120°C)

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Embedding imidazolium‐biphosphate ion pairs directly into the polybenzimidazole main chain simultaneously stabilizes phosphoric acid and preserves continuous proton transport pathways. Strong ion‐pair and hydrogen‐bond interactions suppress acid leaching while maintaining high conductivity, enabling stable and durable high‐temperature fuel cell ...

Assessing Household Welfare in Response to Rising Food Prices in The Gambia

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how rising food prices affected household welfare in The Gambia using nationally representative data from the 2015/16 Integrated Household Survey (IHS‐3). The analysis reflects household consumption behavior and market conditions prevailing during that period and provides a structural benchmark for understanding ...
