This article discusses the results of transmission electron microscopy ~TEM!-based characterization of strontium-doped lead zirconate titanate ~PSZT! thin films. The thin films were deposited by radio frequency magnetron sputtering at 3008C on gold-coated silicon substrates, which used a 15 nm titanium adhesion layer between the 150 nm thick gold film and ~100! silicon. The TEM analysis was carried out using a combination of high-resolution imaging, energy filtered imaging, energy dispersive X-ray ~EDX! analysis, and hollow cone illumination. At the interface between the PSZT films and gold, an amorphous silicon-rich layer ~about 4 nm thick! was observed, with the film composition …

Participatory modeling is increasingly recognised as an effective way to assist collective decision-making processes in the domain of natural resource management. This paper introduces a framework for evaluating projects that have adopted a participatory modeling approach. This framework – known as the ‘Protocol of Canberra’ – was developed through a collaboration between French and Australian researchers engaged in participatory modeling and evaluation research. The framework seeks to assess the extent to which different participatory modeling practices reinforce or divert from the theoretical assumptions they are built upon. The paper discusses the application of the framework in three case-studies, two from …
