Selected Reliable Indicators of Sustainable Land Management (SLM) in the European Union
Visegrad Journal on Bioeconomy and Sustainable Development, 2017 The concept of sustainability and the feasibility options have been discussed in specialized literature sources for about three decades only. Sustainable development has several definitions; it is defined both in narrow and wider sense. The definition of

Explicit Solutions for Optimal Resource Extraction Problems under Regime Switching Lévy Models [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 This paper studies the problem of optimally extracting nonrenewable natural resources. Taking into account the fact that the market values of the main natural resources i.e. oil, natural gas, copper,..., etc, fluctuate randomly following global and seasonal macroeconomic parameters, the prices of natural resources are modeled using Markov switching L ...

Multi‐Scaled Cellulosic Nanonetworks from Tunicates
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Microbial and plant nanonetworks of cellulose have enabled a wide range of high‐performance yet sustainable materials. Herein, a third class of cellulosic nanonetworks is showcased by exploiting the only animal tissue‐producing cellulose nanofibers, i.e., ascidians. An ultrastructure including spherical cells and a microvasculature with diameters of 50–
