Systems Thinking, Mental Representations, and Unintended Consequence Identification
… individuals' identification of potential consequences, and (2) How does ST interact with domain knowledge when individuals identify such consequences? I investigate these questions in domains involving redundant controls---multiple controls designed to prevent or mitigate the same negative …

Chemical communication and its ecological consequence in the Lysmata shrimp
Male crustaceans must find and identify receptive females to mate successfully. Mate recognition depends mainly on sex pheromones, which are detected by antennae and antennules. Distance (soluble)pheromone mediates mating behaviour of some decapod crustaceans. Contact pheromone (an insoluble …

The consequence of station blackout in a nuclear power plant
The main purpose of the nuclear power plant is to generate electricity and to supply it to the grid and its auxiliaries systems. Since nuclear safety overrides the production of electricity and therefore nuclear power plants are designed to protect the public and the environment from the radiation …

Sediment redistribution in the Uilkraals estuary as a consequence of human disturbance
The construction of bridge embankments and other physical obstacles in estuaries has often resulted in the redistribution of sediments, which ultimately leads to detrimental impacts in these environments. The aim of this study is to investigate how the sediment distribution and dynamics within a …
