Social learning for resilience in social–ecological systems [PDF]

Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 2017
Fostering of social learning is generally considered an important governance instrument to build resilience in social-ecological systems. Empirical studies addressing the contribution of social learning to resilience are scarce however, and do not provide direct evidence but infer this contribution from the impacts of social learning on system ...

Micropillar‐Engineered Hybrid Adhesive Patch for Surface‐Conformable and Directional Adhesion

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work presents a surface‐conformable hybrid adhesive integrating height‐optimized hexagonal micropillars with open‐rectangular cuts. The micropillars enhance rough‐surface contact and microscale crack arrest, while the cuts guide and reverse interfacial cracks for strong and directional adhesion. The multiscale architecture achieves robust pull‐off

Life Sustains Life 1. Value: Social and Ecological [PDF]

I would like to address the question of social and ecological value by bringing two approaches to this question into conversation with one another and show their connections. The two approaches are those of Jonathan Schell and Akeel Bilgrami.

Modeling and simulating hierarchies using an agent-based approach [PDF]

, 2005
The notion of complex system covers many different meanings. Socio-economical and ecological systems are typically kind of 'organized complex systems', defined as a middle number of heterogeneous components interacting in an intricate manner and ...

Ash dieback and hydrology affect tree growth patterns under climate change in European floodplain forests

Scientific Reports
Floodplain forests are currently undergoing substantial reorganization processes due to the combined effects of management-induced altered hydrological conditions, climate change and novel invasive pathogens.

Unreclaimed mines are key habitats for pioneer specialists: A case study on natterjack toad (Epidalea calamita) microhabitat occupancy

Global Ecology and Conservation
Post-mining areas are populated by many taxa and are particularly important for pioneer species whose primary habitats, such as dynamic floodplains, have largely been degraded. For such species, habitats must be optimally managed beyond the end of mining

Dual‐Functional Ingestible Passive Capsules for High‐Throughput Intestinal Sampling with Sealed Containment and Targeted Drug Delivery

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
To address challenges in high‐throughput intestinal sampling with sealed containment and target drug delivery, we developed a dual‐functional ingestible passive capsule with a dual‐triggered control system based on pH‐response and mechanical actuation.
