The black box of power in polycentric environmental governance
Publication ID: pub.1117367644
Keywords: Environmental Governance; Global; Polycentric Governance; Power
Failure to address unsustainable global change is often attributed to failures in conventional environmental governance. Polycentric environmental governance—the popular alternative—involves many centres of authority interacting coherently for a common governance goal. Yet, longitudinal analysis reveals many polycentric systems are struggling to cope with the growing impacts, pace, and scope of social and environmental change. Analytic […]
Effects of slag substitution on physical and mechanical properties of fly ash-based alkali activated binders (AABs)
Publication ID: pub.1114222784
Keywords: Alkali Activated Cement; Fly Ash; Granulated Blast-furnace Slag; Microstructure; Mixture Proportioning; UK
Neat fly ash-based alkali activated binders require high activator dosages and high temperature curing in order to develop satisfactory mechanical properties. Blending ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) with fly ash can give medium to high strengths without the need for high temperature oven curing. An extensive investigation was carried out for understanding the effects […]
Evolution of the Toarcian (Early Jurassic) carbon-cycle and global climatic controls on local sedimentary processes (Cardigan Bay Basin, UK)
Publication ID: pub.1100248145
Keywords: Carbon-isotope Stratigraphy; Cardigan Bay Basin; Global Weathering Rates; Gravity-flow Deposits; Oceanic Anoxic Event (OAE); Siderite; Toarcian (Early Jurassic); UK; Wales
The late Early Jurassic Toarcian Stage represents the warmest interval of the Jurassic Period, with an abrupt rise in global temperatures of up to ∼7 °C in mid-latitudes at the onset of the early Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (T-OAE; ∼183 Ma). The T-OAE, which has been extensively studied in marine and continental successions from both hemispheres, […]
Investigating the feasibility of supply chain-centric business models in 3D chocolate printing: A simulation study
Publication ID: pub.1037480023
Keywords: Business Model Innovation; Case Study; Simulation; Supply Chain Management; UK; 3D Chocolate Printing
3D chocolate printing provides the technology for manufacturing chocolates layer-by-layer, thus offering customers enhanced product value and personalized consumption experience. As business models in the chocolate industry are closely associated with the profitability of the supply chain constituents, it seems appropriate to investigate the financial viability of these supply-chain centric business models prior to their […]
Methods and approaches to modelling the Anthropocene
Publication ID: pub.1002951971
Keywords: Complex System Models; Emergence; Feedbacks; Global; Scenarios; Simulation; Socio-ecological Systems
The ‘Anthropocene’ concept provides a conceptual framework that encapsulates the current global situation in which society has an ever-greater dominating influence on Earth System functioning. Simulation models used to understand earth system dynamics provide early warning, scenario analysis and evaluation of environmental management and policies. This paper aims to assess the extent to which current […]
