The levers for a sustainable food system
Our food system is not performing well for public health, social justice and environmental pollution. How would a better food system look like?
Expected effects of a global transformation of agricultural pest management
Policy goals to reduce risks from agricultural pesticides have been set on global, national, and regional levels. But potential effects of a transformation are unclear. We provide a global assessment of the expected effects of a global transformation of agricultural pest management.
Delivering Light on Topical Collection “Discover Advances in the Design and Synthesis of Nano- Optics and Applications”
Recently it was reported High bright mono-coloured light delivery by confined laser dyes within single and dimeric silicon photonics nanoplatforms for Bio-FRET speciation assays. It was shown how Nanophotonics could provide us new Nanotools made of Light for Biophotonics!
Introducing a useful tool
Review of the Xarsed web app, a web app based on the Python programming language and aimed at facilitating the design process of home power plants
Did the Paris Climate Agreement Work?
The Paris Climate Agreement was agreed by most of the world’s nations in 2015. It aimed to keep global average temperature increase over pre-industrial levels by 2100 to well below 2C. Using probabilistic climate forecasts based on Bayesian hierarchical models, we analyse what has happened since.
A first approach to unravel the jellyfish diversity and ecology from Kribi coastal region (Cameroon, Gulf of Guinea)
Given jellyfish blooms associated huge socio-economic, environmental and health issues, sufficient information regarding their taxonomy, population dynamics, food web roles, and composition, are relevant to design sustainable conservation measures.
