Analyzing rebound effects [PDF]
Are efficiency improvements in the use of natural resources the key for sustainable development, are they the solution to environmental problems, or will second round effects - so-called rebound effects - compensate or even overcompensate potential ...

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Firms' international revenues help diversify revenue sources and reduce reliance on home markets, yet remain hard to grow given complex regulations, cultural differences and fierce competition. Grounded in the resource‐based view, we argue that social sustainability is a valuable, rare, inimitable and non‐substitutable resource that promotes ...

The Curriculum Journal, EarlyView.AbstractInterdisciplinary teaching and learning in the humanities (Humanities ITL) has gained prominence in recent decades. Yet to date, empirical research has largely emphasised its benefits and affordances, with far fewer studies examining the challenges it poses.

Acoustic‐driven surface cleaning with millimeter‐sized bubbles at translational resonance
Droplet, EarlyView.Time‐lapse visualization comparing bubble trajectories. The top panel (0 Hz) shows a bubble's linear path under no acoustic forcing, while the bottom panel (50 Hz) demonstrates the oscillatory motion induced by acoustic waves at a resonance mode. This mechanism holds promising potential for applications such as surface cleaning.

Re-Identifying the Rebound – What About Asymmetry? [PDF]
Rebound eff ects measure the behaviorally induced off set in the reduction of energy consumption following effi ciency improvements. Using panel estimation methods and household travel diary data collected in Germany between 1997 and 2009, this study ...

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.This review summarizes a descriptor‐guided framework for linking theoretical calculations, in situ/operando characterization, synthesis regulation, and application screening in functional materials. Emphasis is placed on dynamic structure–property relationships that enable low‐cost material design with enhanced activity, stability, and environmental ...

RETHINKING ECONOMY-WIDE REBOUND MEASURES: AN UNBIASED PROPOSAL [PDF]
In spite of having been first introduced in the last half of the ninetieth century, the debate about the possible rebound effects from energy efficiency improvements is still an open question in the economic literature.
