United we stand? Organizational groups and spinoff mortality in the context of academic entrepreneurship by Gotsopoulos, Aleksios, Pitsakis, Konstantinos

“…We borrow and expand the concept of density dependence from organizational ecology to theorize that a spinoff's propensity to fail is affected by the number of spinoffs active not only in the aggregate population but also within its parent university's portfolio. …”

Operation and control of PEM fuel cell system by Tan, Chun Xu.

“…Hence, the use of the fuel cell based power system for residential or industrial application is expected to be more prevalent in the near future due to improved power quality, reliability, portability and sustainability of the ecology system. However, integration of a variety of small-size distributed generators is changing the traditional structure of electric power distribution systems and affecting system dynamics, whose main source of power supply is the substation. …”

A risk assessment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in swimming pools : a review by Rice, Scott A., Akker, Ben van den, Pomati, Francesco, Roser, David

“…This review was undertaken to identify the current understanding of risk factors associated with pool operation with respect to P. aeruginosa. The ecology and factors that promote growth of P. aeruginosa in the pool environment are complex and dynamic and so we applied a systematic risk assessment approach to integrate existing data, with the aim to improve pool management and safety. …”

Diauxic lags explain unexpected coexistence in multi‐resource environments by Bloxham, Blox, Lee, Hyunseok, Gore, Jeff

“…How the coexistence of species is affected by the presence of multiple resources is a major question in microbial ecology. We experimentally demonstrate that differences in diauxic lags, which occur as species deplete their own environments and adapt their metabolisms, allow slow‐growing microbes to stably coexist with faster‐growing species in multi‐resource environments despite being excluded in single‐resource environments. …”
