Gender and identity should be core concerns for energy researchers and policymakers, because they mediate access to resources, exposure to pollutants, and opportunities to participate in energy resource management, policy, and science. Accordingly, this article suggests four research agendas ripe for further development: eliminating indoor air pollution, strengthening community resource managem...

Abstract Through its potential to contribute mass suffering, economic disruption, and social unrest, climate change poses a security threat the constitutional identities of states (as democratic, autocratic, or hybrid regimes). This paper proposes conceptual framework mediated causality for climatic impacts on identity engages in novel theory-building one mediating vector change: post-fossil en...

In this note we prove under some general assumptions on elastic energy densities (namely, frame indifference, minimality at identity, non-degeneracy and existence of a quadratic expansion at identity) that homogenization and linearization commute at identity. This generalizes a recent result by S. Müller and the second author by dropping their assumption of periodicity. As a first application, ...

We study solutions of certain nonlinear Dirac-type equations on Riemann spin surfaces. We first improve an energy identity theorem for a sequence of such solutions with uniformly bounded energy in the case of a fixed domain. Then, we prove the corresponding energy identity in the case that the equations have constant coefficients and the domains possibly degenerate to a spin surface with only N...

wireless sensor networks (wsns) have many applications in the areas of commercial, military and environmental requirements. regarding the deployment of low cost sensor nodes with restricted energy resources, these networks face a lot of security challenges. a basic approach for preparing a secure wireless communication in wsns, is to propose an efficient cryptographic key management protocol be...
