We developed new methods for parameter estimation-in-context and, with the help of 125 authors, built AmP (Add-my-Pet) database Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) models, parameters and referenced underlying data animals, where each species constitutes one entry. The combination DEB covers all aspects energetics throughout full organism's life cycle, from start embryo development to death by aging. species-specific values capture biodiversity can now, first time, be compared between animals...
The advent of megaprojects is exacerbating the need for a comprehensive tool decision making. Financial resources are scarce and cost-benefit analysis (CBA) can help makers select most efficient allocation these resources. This paper addresses CBA as an evaluation its major weaknesses. We conclude that treatment residual value (RV) inadequate needs further research. RV represents infrastructure at end project lifetime asset generates over time. current methods calculating do not properly...
Global food systems contribute to climate change, the transgression of planetary boundaries and deforestation. An improved understanding environmental impacts different system futures is crucial for forging strategies sustainably nourish a growing world population. We here quantify greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions global scenarios within biophysically feasible "option space" in 2050 comprising all which biomass supply – calculated as function agricultural area yields sufficient cover demand...
Assessments of the global carbon (C) cycle typically rely on simplified models which consider large areas as homogeneous in terms response soils to land use or very broad classes. For example, "cropland" is modelled an aggregation distinct practices and individual crops over regions. Here, we process-based Rothamsted soil Carbon Model (RothC model), has a history being successfully applied at scale, calculate attainable SOC stocks C mineralization rates for each c. 17,000 regions...
The history of rail transport can offer valuable insights for future energy transitions due to its importance in promoting clean mobility. There is a complex interplay between the evolution railway network, fuel consumption, efficiency, service, and CO2 emissions that requires further exploration. We developed dataset covers use all stages transportation, as well length track, at world scale. To deal with missing data we utilized machine learning techniques first time historical...
Background It is widely accepted that the shift in case-fatality rate between waves during 1918 influenza pandemic was due to a genetic change virus. In animal models, infectious dose of A virus associated severity disease which lead us propose new hypothesis. We increase can be explained by dynamics and dose-dependent response mediated number simultaneous contacts susceptible person has with ones. Methods used compartment model seasonality, waning immunity Holling type II function, model,...
Studies of societal exergy use have the common aim tracing flow along society, and are used to gain insights into efficiency energy linkages economic growth. However, their methodological approaches vary greatly, with significant impacts on results. Therefore, we make a review past studies identify, synthesize discuss differences, contribute more consistent robust approach accounting. Issues that should be taken account when making options discussed key presented: (1) For mapping primary...
