Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Hedging by using weather derivatives in winter ski tourism [PDF]
Ekonomika Poljoprivrede (1979), 2018 Tourism, as one of the main driving forces of economic development, is exposed to many risks. Besides frequent fluctuations in foreign currency exchange, prices of fuel and transportation, the tourism industry has become more sensitive to weather ...

Weather Risk Management in Energy Sector: The Polish Case
Energies, 2020 The energy sector is perceived as one of the most exposed sectors to the consequences of weather risk both directly (damages of its infrastructure) and indirectly (frictions to the energy supply−demand balance).

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This article demonstrates the successful qualification of a copper–tungsten composite for laser powder bed fusion. The resulting components exhibited high density, high thermal conductivity, and reduced thermal expansion. Heat sinks with complex geometries were successfully manufactured, clearly showcasing the material's potential for additive ...

A Primer on Weather Derivatives
, 2009 We give a short introduction to weather derivatives. We discuss what they are made for. We describe the markets on which they are exchanged, and how they are used to promote agricultural risk transfer in developing countries via the World Bank program. We also treat some specific issues such as basis risk, pricing and design.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.In this experimental study, the mechanical properties of additively manufactured Ti‐6Al‐4V lattice structures of different geometries are characterized using compression, four point bending and fatigue testing. While TPMS designs show superior fatigue resistance, SplitP and Honeycomb lattice structures combine high stiffness and strength. The resulting

Stochastic Modeling of Wind Derivatives in Energy Markets
Risks, 2018 We model the logarithm of the spot price of electricity with a normal inverse Gaussian (NIG) process and the wind speed and wind power production with two Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes.

Inflammatory Response‐Inspired Thermochromic Shield for Pneumatic Structures
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A thermochromic shield for pneumatic structures is developed, using anhydrous sodium acetate powder and thermochromic pigment‐included solution. In this shield composed of three layers, the exothermic and thermochromic reactions, followed by the mixture of both components, occur promptly with an incident of penetrating damage as a sign of initial ...

The possibility of drought risk reduction in corn production [PDF]
Ratarstvo i Povrtarstvo, 2016 Weather derivatives are contemporary instruments for insurance risk of drought in agricultural production. Corn production is particularly sensitive to this risk, and the amount of the yield of this crop is in significant correlation with the July-August
