Abstract: Advanced materials for electrocatalytic water splitting applications have been sought-after considering both environmental and economic requirements. However, the traditional materials design concept limits the exploration of high-performance catalysts. The born of a materials design concept based on multiple elements, high-entropy materials, provides a promising path to break the shackles of compositional design in materials science. A number of high-entropy materials were reported to show remarkable properties for electrocatalytic water splitting applications. High-entropy materials were widely confirmed to be one kind of the best electrocatalysts for water splitting applications. Due to the synergy of multiple metal components, they show excellent catalytic activity. Several nontraditional methods were developed and reported to prepare high-performance high-entropy materials. This review article presents the recent progress on high-entropy materials for electrocatalytic water splitting applications. Moreover, it presents the research interests and future prospects in this field.2021-01-01T00:00:00ZCommunity attitudes towards marine parks in South AustraliaHaensch, J.Wheeler, S.A.McWhinnie, S.F.https://hdl.handle.net/2440/1403162024-01-08T02:20:56Z2022-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Community attitudes towards marine parks in South Australia

Abstract: Marine protected areas are a common conservation management tool to protect marine ecosystems around the world. It has been found that while technical considerations regarding location and size are important for assessing a marine protected area’s effectiveness, the attitudes that communities hold towards marine protected areas can be equally important. Using seven years of public surveys in South Australia from 2012 to 2019, this study explores what potential differences exist across space and time in community attitudes towards marine parks. Overall, probit regression modelling results indicate that opposition to marine parks in South Australia has fallen over time, and that opposition was highest in regional areas. In addition, familiarity with marine parks and associating parks in general with conservation protection influenced people’s positive attitudes towards marine parks. Sociodemographic characteristics of gender, age and education were also important.2022-01-01T00:00:00ZTechnology Heterogeneity and Poverty Traps: A Latent Class Approach to Technology Gap Drivers of Chronic PovertyHill, D.McWhinnie, S.F.Kumar, S.Gregg, D.https://hdl.handle.net/2440/1403072024-01-08T01:18:44Z2023-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Technology Heterogeneity and Poverty Traps: A Latent Class Approach to Technology Gap Drivers of Chronic Poverty

Abstract: The analysis of household wealth dynamic remains an important methodology in the identification of poverty traps. To overcome measurement issues in survey data, livelihoods-based approaches of the dynamics of poverty are typically examined using panel regressions of a livelihoods regression on household assets and other socio-economic factors over time. In this paper, we characterise the livelihoods regression as a ‘livelihoods technology’, and use a latent class-technology approach to account for heterogeneity in how households generate a livelihood. We use a detailed dataset from rural India covering 213 households across 2001–2014, and control for selection issues through a Heckman Selection model. Our results are the first in the wealth dynamics literature to show that substantial heterogeneity exists in the technologies with which households generate their livelihoods. Importantly, we show that accounting for heterogeneity in household livelihoods ‘technologies’ more readily identifies different equilibria in wealth levels and provides previously foregone information on who is poor and why they remain poor.2023-01-01T00:00:00ZGenetic distance, cultural differences, and the formation of regional trade agreementsHeid, B.Lu, W.https://hdl.handle.net/2440/1401892024-01-23T04:18:31Z2021-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Genetic distance, cultural differences, and the formation of regional trade agreements

Abstract: Genetic distance between countries’ populations has been shown to proxy crosscountry diferences in cultures and preferences. In an unbalanced panel of 133 countries from 1970 to 2012, the study fnds that higher genetic distance between two countries decreases their probability of having a trade agreement, even when controlling for geographic distance and other controls. The impact of cultural differences proxied by genetic distance is persistent over time and economically signifcant: While increasing the geographic distance between two countries by 1% decreases the probability of a regional trade agreement by 0.11% points, increasing their genetic distance by 1% decreases the probability by 0.06% points.2021-01-01T00:00:00Z
