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

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.
