Sustainability Reporting in the Mining Sector: Exploring Its Symbolic Nature
(SAGE Publications, 2017-04)
Sustainability reporting (SR) has become a well-entrenched practice in themining sector. Failure to adequately live up to societal expectations is nowconsidered a significant threat to the viability of the industry. There ...
Synchronization of chemical noise-sustained structures in asymmetrically coupled differential-flow reactors
(American Physical Society, 2013-12)
The differential-flow-induced chemical instability is investigated in the context of two coupled reactors with cubic autocatalytic kinetics (the Gray-Scott model). Previous results for master-slave arrangement [Izús, Deza, ...
Seeking unconventional alliances and bridging innovations in spaces for transformative change: the seed sector and agricultural sustainability in Argentina
(Resilience Alliance, 2018-07)
Experimental spaces for learning about and nurturing processes of social-ecological transformation are of increasing interest; a reflection, in part, of a more interventionist approach to sustainability research and funding. ...
Self-Sustained Micromechanical Oscillator with Linear Feedback
(American Physical Society, 2016-07)
Autonomous oscillators, such as clocks and lasers, produce periodic signals without any external frequency reference. In order to sustain stable periodic motion, there needs to be an external energy supply as well as ...
PVP-Pd nanoparticles as efficient catalyst for nitroarene reduction under mild conditions in aqueous media
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-11-22)
The catalytic activity of PVP-Pd nanoparticles synthesized by electrochemical methods was explored in nitroaromatic hydrogenation reaction. In this transformation, the colloidal nanocatalyst proved to have outstanding ...
Dual purpose of ligninolytic- basidiomycetes: mycoremediation of bioethanol distillation vinasse coupled to sustainable bio-based compounds production
(Published by Elsevier on behalf of The British Mycological Society, 2020-03)
Agro-industrial wastes consist of various agriculture and food industry residues produced worldwide at an estimated rate of a thousand million tons per year. Vinasse is the main wastewater resulting from sugarcane bioethanol ...
Effects of time-delayed feedback on the properties of self-sustained oscillators
(American Physical Society, 2016-10-18)
Most self-sustained oscillations in biological systems and in technical applications are based on a feedback loop, and it is usually important to know how they will react when an external oscillatory force is applied. Here ...
IMBER - Research for marine sustainability: Synthesis and the way forward
(Elsevier, 2015-12)
The Integrated Marine Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Research (IMBER) project aims at developing a comprehensive understanding of and accurate predictive capacity of ocean responses to accelerating global change and the ...
Co-design with aligned and non-aligned knowledge partners: Implications for research and coproduction of sustainable food systems
(Elsevier, 2016-06)
We discuss two different strategies to initiate a process of identifying a focused sustainability challenge, and co-defining and co-designing alternative pathways to more sustainable food systems.One strategy was based on ...
Lithium recovery from brines: A vital raw material for green energies with a potential environmental impact in its mining and processing
(Elsevier, 2018-10)
The electrification of our world is driving a strong increase in demand for lithium. Energy storage is paramount in electric and hybrid vehicles, in green but intermittent energy sources, and in smart grids in general. ...
