Will COVID-19 support the transition to a more sustainable fashion industry?
Sustainability: Science, Practice, & Policy, 2020 In this policy brief, we examine the impact of COVID-19 on sustainability initiatives in the fashion industry. We ask whether COVID-19 is likely to support the transition to a more sustainable fashion industry.

A Just Transition: Why Transitioning Workers into a New Clean Energy Economy Should Be at the Center of Climate Change Policies [PDF]
, 2017 With a hostile federal administration, states must take up the fight against climate change. Shortly after the United States withdrew from the Paris Climate Accord, governors from several states announced efforts to meet the targets.

Phenomenological improvement of the linear-$\sigma$ model in the large-N_c limit
, 2011 The linear-$\sigma$ model has been widely used to describe the chiral phase transition. Numerically, the critical temperature $T_{c}$ of the chiral phase transition is in agreement with other effective theories of QCD. However, in the large-$N_{c}$ limit

A strategic niche management approach for shaping bio-based economy in Europe [PDF]
, 2018 The goal of this paper is to investigate the transition towards a bio-based economy as part of a broader sustainable transition in Europe. To analyse the challenges and opportunities associated with the bio-based economy, we applied the Strategic Niche ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Continuous Neel to Bloch Transition as Thickness Increases: Statics and Dynamics
, 2008 We analyze the properties of Neel and Bloch domain walls as a function of film thickness h, for systems where, in addition to exchange, the dipole-dipole interaction must be included.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Unearthing the reality of ‘Zombie energy systems’ in Africa’s energy transition
Environmental Research: EnergyAfrica’s energy transition is unique and complicated by—among other things—the pervasive presence of ‘Zombie Energy Systems’ (ZES). These are outdated, inefficient, and environmentally harmful energy systems that persist despite being obsolete (e.g.

Renewable and Sustainable Energy TransitionCoal regions are particularly vulnerable to the plans to reduce regional pollution and move towards a climate-neutral economy. The European Union therefore supports the transition away from coal in those regions that are socio-economically most affected ...
