Co-producing neighbourhood resilience

Producing translationally cold, ground-state CO molecules.

Carbon monoxide molecules in their electronic, vibrational, and rotational ground state are highly attractive for trapping experiments. The optical or ac electric traps that can be envisioned for these molecules will be very shallow, however, with depths in the sub-milliKelvin range. Here, we outline that the required samples of translationally cold CO (X(1)Σ(+), v'' = 0, N'' = 0) molecules can...

Modelling resilience of agro-ecosystems - the co-evolution of regimes

Understanding how natural resources co-evolve with management practices is fundamental to all questions concerning their sustainable management. In the search for new pathways of sustainable development we seek to understand how comparable initial conditions in agro-ecosystems lead to fundamentally different resource conditions. Agro-ecosystems are characterized by a high diversity, path depend...

Resilience Modelling Through Discrete Event and Continuous Time Co- Simulation

We propose an approach to discrete event and continuous time co-simulation that permits the analysis of alternative fault-tolerance strategies in formal models of embedded systems at early design stages. The approach is based on the use of a model-oriented specification language with a continuous time simulator modelling controlled processes. This permits the explicit modelling of faults and th...

Co-opetition & Investment for Resilience in Global Supply Chains

This paper considers the problem of disruption risk management in global supply chains. We consider a supply chain with two participants, who face interdependent losses resulting from supply chain disruptions such as terrorist strikes and natural hazards. The HarsanyiSelten-Nash bargaining framework is used to model the choice of supply chain participants of risk mitigation incentives. The barg...
