Rebound Effects from Increased Efficiency in the Use of Energy by UK Households* [PDF]
In this paper, we use CGE modelling techniques to identify the impact on energy use of an improvement in energy efficiency in the household sector. The main findings are that 1) when the price of energy is measured in natural units, the increase in ...

Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The acoustic emission (AE) technique has proven to be an effective method for detecting individual wire breaks in prestressed concrete structures affected by stress corrosion cracking (SCC). However, despite its widespread application, the quantitative assessment of AE monitoring reliability and optimal sensor placement remains unresolved ...

The Reflexive Turn in Systems Engineering: A Disciplinary Response to Complexity
Systems Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Future of Systems Engineering (FuSE) programme has called for the discipline to evolve as a transdiscipline capable of engaging complex eco‐socio‐technical challenges. Yet the pace of that evolution has been slower than the arguments for it would predict. This article examines why.

Career Sustainability Profiles of Self‐Initiated Expatriates and Associated Person‐Related Factors
Thunderbird International Business Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The increasingly volatile global working environment poses particular challenges for self‐initiated expatriates (SIEs), who often lack formal organizational support and must manage their careers independently. However, research on SIEs has largely focused on single international experiences or specific stages of the expatriation cycle, thereby
