AI-driven Prices for Externalities and Sustainability in Production Markets

Boi Faltings, Aris Filos Ratsikas, Panayiotis Danassis

Traditional competitive markets do not account for negative externalities; indirect costs that some participants impose on others, such as the cost of over-appropriating a common-pool resource (which diminishes future stock, and thus harvest, for everyone) ...

Les Cahiers de l'Ibois 3 / Ibois Notebook 3

Petras Vestartas, Sandra Vuilleumier

Before the twentieth century and concrete modernity, it was stone that embodied the “well built”. Could sustainable wood one day replace concrete as the archetypal material? Will it find a place on the scale of values that gives archi- tecture its referenc ...

Increasing Cellular Network Energy Efficiency for Railway Corridors

Andreas Peter Burg, Ruben Merz, Adrian Schumacher

Modern trains act as Faraday cages making it challenging to provide high cellular data capacities to passengers. A solution is the deployment of linear cells along railway tracks, forming a cellular corridor. To provide a sufficiently high data capacity, m ...

Turning crowds into communities: The collectives of online citizen science

Jérôme Baudry

Over the past two decades, a number of digital platforms have been developed with the aim of engaging citizens in scientific research projects. The success of these platforms depends in no small part on their ability to attract and retain participants, tur ...

Contrasting Leaf Trait Responses of Conifer and Broadleaved Seedlings to Altered Resource Availability Are Linked to Resource Strategies

Christoph Bachofen, Yan Li Zhang

(1) Understanding tree seedling responses to water, nutrient, and light availability is crucial to precisely predict potential shifts in composition and structure of forest communities under future climatic conditions. (2) We exposed seedlings of widesprea ...

An energetic view of stress: Focus on mitochondria

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

Energy is required to sustain life and enable stress adaptation. At the cellular level, energy is largely derived from mitochondria – unique multifunctional organelles with their own genome. Four main elements connect mitochondria to stress: 1) Energy is r ...

Two sides of the same coin: A population genetics perspective on lethal mutagenesis and mutational meltdown

Jeffrey David Jensen, Claudia Bank, Sebastian Matuszewski, Nicky Louise Ormond

The extinction of RNA virus populations upon application of a mutagenic drug is frequently referred to as evidence for the existence of an error threshold, above which the population cannot sustain the mutational load. To explain the extinction process aft ...

Data-Interpretation methodologies for Non-Linear Earthquake Response Predictions of Damaged Structures

Ian Smith, Pierino Lestuzzi, Yves Sylvain Gilles Reuland

Seismic exposure of buildings presents difficult engineering challenges. The principles of seismic design involve structures that sustain damage and still protect inhabitants. Precise and accurate knowledge of the residual capacity of damaged structures is ...
