Today, millions of users rely on the Internet to do business and to access a wide variety of services. Examples include e-commerce, banking transactions, B2B interactions, multi-player games, blogs, and social networks. Trust in these services is a prerequisite to achieve the full economic potential of information communications technology (ICT). Security economics explore the opportunities of security investments by transforming security from a cost to an asset. This chapter describes SecInvest, a security investment support framework that helps security economists explore such opportunities. SecInvest derives a security solution fitness score that can be used to compare alternative solutions and decide whether to invest in security or take the associated risk. The framework considers various cost variables, investment budget and priorities, laws and regulations, risk level, a priori security status, and other decision variables when deriving the fitness score.

Gas Selectivity

Control of pore window size is the standard approach for tuning gas selectivity in porous solids. Here, we present the first example where this is translated into a molecular porous liquid formed from organic cage molecules. Reduction of the cage window size by chemical synthesis switches the selectivity from Xe-selective to CH<sub>4</sub>-selective, which is understood using <sup>129</sup>Xe, <sup>1</sup>H, and pulsed-field gradient NMR spectroscopy.

The standard approach to measuring livestock ownership in pastoralist communities relies on an assumption of uniformity that does not reflect the diverse concepts of ownership held by pastoralists themselves. In Namibia's Koakaveld Region, Himba and Herero pastoralist communities have a rich vocabulary for categorising the origins, usage rights and cultural valence of their cattle. Drawing on both authors' experience overseeing a large-scale rangeland management programme evaluation in Namibia's Northern Communal Areas – and one author's experience growing up in and keeping cattle in a Himba pastoralist community – we show how the standard approach to measuring cattle ownership undermines accurate estimates of livestock wealth, off-take and inequality, and obfuscates pastoralist's strategies for turning ecological variability to their advantage. We conclude with lessons about how multi-dimensional data collection methods improve upon the standard approach to livestock ownership measurements.
