Social Sustainability in Circular Bioeconomy Business Models: Insights From Argentina
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Research on circular bioeconomy business models (CBEBM) has largely prioritised environmental and economic aspects, leaving out the social pillar. To address this gap, this paper analyses to what extent and in what ways social sustainability is integrated into CBEBM, based on 12 cases from northern Argentina, a region with high potential for ...

Universal Reconfiguration of (Hyper-)cubic Robots
, 2011 We study a simple reconfigurable robot model which has not been previously examined: cubic robots comprised of three-dimensional cubic modules which can slide across each other and rotate about each others' edges.

Toward a Sustainability Standard for Cultural Organizations: Borrowing From Tourism
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cultural organizations are increasingly engaging with sustainability, yet they lack a sector‐specific standard to guide and institutionalize efforts as long‐term strategies. This study reviews research papers on sustainability standards in the tourism sector, a field with greater experience with such tools, and horizontally borrows insights ...

Self‐Reconfiguring Modular Robotic Boats
Abstract Self-reconfigurable aquatic robots offer promising potential for a wide range of marine applica-tions, including building temporary infrastructure, environmental monitoring, and on-demand transportation. However, achieving autonomous water-based self-reconfiguration, even in two di-mensions on the water surface, remains challenging ...

Small, EarlyView.Heating and cooling energy demand account for nearly half of the global energy consumption. SH and RC offer sustainable, zero‐energy strategies, but single‐mode devices lack adaptability. 3D dual‐mode devices, exploiting axial, flipping, and bending deformations, provide reversible switching with dynamic or passive control, representing a promising ...
