Studies of the association between wealth and fertility in industrial populations have a rich history in the evolutionary literature, and they have been used to argue both for and against a behavioral ecological approach to explaining human variability. We consider that there are strong arguments in favor of measuring fertility (and proxies thereof) in industrial populations, not least because ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) applications and digital technologies (DTs) are increasingly present in the daily lives of citizens, cities industries. These developments generate large amounts data enhance analytical capabilities that could benefit industrial ecology (IE) community sustainability research general. With this communication, we would like to address some opportunities, challenges, n...

Humans have a dual nature. We are subject to the same natural laws and forces as other species yet dominate global ecology and exhibit enormous variation in energy use, cultural diversity, and apparent social organization. We suggest scientists tackle these challenges with a macroecological approach-using comparative statistical techniques to identify deep patterns of variation in large dataset...

The concept of industrial ecology have been applied to local and regional sustainability goals and policies in many countries. To promote the growth of green industry and the formation of a “recycle-oriented society,” the Taiwanese government also launched an ecoindustrial parks project in 2002. This research examines stakeholder perceptions of the environmental science and technology park (EST...

Here, an implementation of entropy generation as a measure forresource consumption within the framework of LCA is proposed. Entropygeneration is chosen over other measures (such as exergy) mainly for conceptualreasons, and for reasons of scientific stringency and conciseness (see below).The implementation is facilitated via one of the widely used software tools(Umberto), whi...

To better understand and manage complex systems like ecosystems it is critical to know the relative contribution of the system components to the system function. Ecologists and social scientists have described a diversity of ways that individuals can be important; This paper makes two key contributions to this research area. First, it shows that throughflow (Tj), the total energy or matter ente...
