Energy analysis and EMERGY analysis—a comparison
139
TL;DR: A comparison between energy analysis and energy analysis is presented in this article, where the authors present a consistent comparison of EA and EMA applied to the same system, and show that EMA is more subject to criticism, and more likely to fail in its putative policy uses.

Finding sustainability indicators for information system assessment
Tobias Nyström,Moyen Mohammad Mustaquim +1 more
- 22 Sep 2015
TL;DR: This paper has identified sustainability indicators for IS using previous theoretical frameworks where universal design and its advance concept were used and a framework of IS sustainability indicators were proposed in the form of a design space arrangement, which could play significant roles in assessing sustainability for IS.

TL;DR: Chen et al. as discussed by the authors used an emergy-based four angle model application to depict the variations of urban metabolic profile (energy and money) based on the changes experienced across the economic sectors over the years.

Emergy Analysis and Ecological Spillover as Tools to Quantify Ecological Compensation in Xuchang City, Qingyi River Basin, China
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used ecological spillover (the amount of local ecosystem services not used in the region and thus flows to downstream areas) and emergy analysis to determine the amount of eco-compensation that the city of Xuchang should pay to the upstream city of Xinzheng from 2010 to 2014.

A rigourous mathematical framework for computing a sustainability ratio: The emergy
Olivier Le Corre,Laurent Truffet +1 more
TL;DR: The Track Summing method of Tennenbaum as mentioned in this paper was developed precisely for interconnected networks with feedbacks and splits of emergy and it is partially parallelizable, but it is not well suited to account for the co-product problem which induces the idempotent operator max.

Self-Organization, Transformity, and Information
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define the transformity (energy of one type required per unit of another) as an energy scaling factor for the hierarchies of the universe including information.

Measures of ecosystem structure and function derived from analysis of flows.
TL;DR: Three simple ecosystem models are examined to demonstrate the utility of measures derived from the application of economic input-output analysis to ecosystem compartment models in explaining ecological phenomena.

Systems ecology : an introduction
TL;DR: In this article, an integrated theoretical and applied introduction to systems ecology that uses energy diagrammatic language to explain basic concepts of systems, modelling, and simulation is presented, while at the same time dealing with the issues of organization, entropy, information, complexity, diversity, frequency, and power.

The structure of ecosystems
TL;DR: Input-output theory is developed for an ecosystem in terms of production and respiration energy flows and the structure is determined for two examples and a perturbation technique for the energy flow is suggested.
