Water Security through Cooperation

GAIA - Ecological Perspectives for Science and Society, 2014
Water crosses political boarders and cuts through differing socio-economic sectors. Therefore, cooperation is essential for achieving water security. But how is effective water governance characterized? Integrated water resource management rests on measures that involve stakeholders from the public, private and civil societal sectors.

A Geometrically Transient Platform for Bioelectronic Implants

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Minimally invasive bioelectronic implants often compromise performance for smaller sizes. To resolve this optimization dilemma, a wireless bioelectronic implant with a transient geometry is introduced (MiFi). The origami‐inspired device miniaturizes up to sixfold for syringe insertion and autonomously unfolds post‐implantation.

Water (in) security – modern security paradigm

Journal of Geography, Politics and Society, 2019
Water. In the existence and activities of each individual it is water that (un) consciously essentially defines them. Therefore, water is called the source of life, but nowadays we know it under the new concept: blue gold. The reason for such a modern understanding of the role of water lies in the increasing limitations of access to sufficient ...
