The capability of forward osmosis based hybrid processes in adaptation to water scarcity and climate change Ghent University
This study aims to present the latest research trend of forward osmosis (FO) based hybrid processes, as well as other advanced technologies, to solve the emerging water security-related issues and improve current policy on safe water production and management. Advanced technologies could play a vital role in achieving the sustainable development goals, which were developed by UN-Water in 2015. In the light of this, membrane-based technologies, ...
Present and future water scarcity in Switzerland: Potential for alleviation through reservoirs and lakes Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In Alpine regions, future changes in glacier and snow cover are expected to change runoff regimes towards higher winter but lower summer discharge. The low summer discharge will coincide with the highest water demand for irrigation, and local and regional water shortages are expected to become more likely. One possible measure to adapt to these changes can be the extension of current uses of artificial reservoirs and natural lakes to the ...
The time for the future is now: CEO temporal focus and firms’ identification and interpretation of grand challenges – The example of water scarcity Vlerick Business School
This study examines whether Chief Executive Officer (CEO) temporal focus—the extent to which CEOs devote their attention to the past, present, and future—is related to firms' identification and interpretation of grand challenges. Using the exemplary grand challenge of water scarcity, we adapt mechanisms of the temporal focus literature to the particularities of grand challenges and propose that CEO temporal focus is related to whether firms ...

Data scarcity in modelling and simulation of a large-scale WWTP : stop sign or a challenge Ghent University
Towards a Narrative Aesthetic? The Scarcity of Stage Directions as (Text-)Theatrical Challenge in Plays by Crimp, Ravenhill and Stephens Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This article investigates the decrease of typographically identifiable stage directions in British drama since the 1990s. Taking the ongoing scholarly debate about the theatrical or literary status of stage directions as its point of departure, it explores and compares the shift from acting to storytelling that characterizes Martin Crimp’s Attempts on Her Life (1997), Mark Ravenhill’s pool (no water) (2006) and Simon Stephens’s Pornography ...
Breeding in a World of Scarcity Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Ghent University
This book includes papers presented at the 2015 meeting of the Fodder Crops and Amenity Grasses Section of Eucarpia. The theme of the meeting “Breeding in a world of scarcity” was elaborated in four sessions: (1) scarcity of natural resources, (2) scarcity of breeders, (3) scarcity of land and (4) scarcity of focus. Parts I to IV of this book correspond to these four sessions. Session 1 refers to the consequences of climate change, reduced ...
A spatially variable scarcity of floating microplastics in the eastern North Pacific Ocean Ghent University
Plastic waste accumulating in the global ocean is an increasingly threatening environmental issue. To date, the floating and thus most visible fraction of ocean plastic pollution has been mapped at global scale. Yet, large knowledge gaps exist in our current understanding of the transport and transformation processes of positively buoyant plastic debris at the sea surface. Observations at sea typically report an apparent scarcity of ...
