Measurements and simulations of thermal neutron attenuation by printed circuit boards are compared. Attenuation coefficients in typical epoxy-resin/glass-fibre substrate material can be as high as 2 cm-1, corresponding to 27% attenuation by 1.6 mm of

Achieving an optimal nutrient balance is one of the main targets of sustainable agriculture. The aim of this study was to identify “hotspots” of agricultural nutrient imbalance. This was done by developing a modelling framework and using it to an

Strategies for achieving environmental sustainability of protein production vary regionally. In this study, a framework was applied that would quantify a region-specific contribution to global protein supply with a special focus on protein quality i.

Improved animal health can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity in livestock systems while increasing productivity. Integrated modelling of disease impacts on farm-scale emissions is important in identifying effective health strategies to
