Criteria to Organise a Transition Lab to Stimulate the Transition Towards a Circular Economy
Globally the dominant economy is linear, which is connected to most environmental problems. A sustainable alternative is a circular economy. To move towards a circular economy, there needs to be focus on the economic, environmental, and social dimension.

E$^3$-UAV: An Edge-based Energy-Efficient Object Detection System for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles [PDF]
Motivated by the advances in deep learning techniques, the application of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-based object detection has proliferated across a range of fields, including vehicle counting, fire detection, and city monitoring. While most existing research studies only a subset of the challenges inherent to UAV-based object detection, there are ...

Factors modulating 99mTc‐MAA planar lung dosimetry for 90Y radioembolization
Abstract Purpose To investigate the accuracy and biases of predicted lung shunt fraction (LSF) and lung dose (LD) calculations via 99mTc‐macro‐aggregated albumin (99mTc‐MAA) planar imaging for treatment planning of 90Y‐microsphere radioembolization.

Abstract Positron emission tomography with x‐ray computed tomography (PET/CT) is increasingly being utilized for radiation treatment planning (RTP). Accurate delivery of RT therefore depends on quality PET/CT data. This study covers quality control (QC) procedures required for PET/CT for diagnostic imaging and incremental QC required for RTP.

Life Cycle Thinking for Sustainable Consumption and Production towards a Circular Economy [PDF]
The current model of a linear economy with end-of-pipe waste treatment is not sustainable. Cleaner production helps reduce resource use and emissions, but is still not an optimal solution without considering a life cycle perspective.

Bounded Rationality and Animal Spirits: A Fluctuation-Response Approach to Slutsky Matrices [PDF]
The Slutsky equation, central in consumer choice theory, is derived from the usual hypotheses underlying most standard models in Economics, such as full rationality, homogeneity, and absence of interactions. We present a statistical physics framework that allows us to relax such assumptions.

Towards Energy Consumption and Carbon Footprint Testing for AI-driven IoT Services [PDF]
Energy consumption and carbon emissions are expected to be crucial factors for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Both the scale and the geo-distribution keep increasing, while Artificial Intelligence (AI) further penetrates the "edge" in order to satisfy the need for highly-responsive and intelligent services.
