Plastic leakage of packaging in Life Cycle Assessment – a theoretical framework [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2022 The proposed theoretical framework explores how packaging could be assessed from gate-to-grave including the probability to become litter. A growing number of studies have confirmed the omnipresence of plastic pollution.

Improving Building Acoustics [PDF]
Journal of Applied Engineering Sciences, 2021 Abstract One of the most significant aspects which need to be analysed in the case of a building consists in finding that the sound level perceived by listeners is a proper one (Daniela-Roxana Tămaş-Gavrea et all., 2012). Their inconsistent spreading can develop problems in audition which can be solved only by putting in work a number of
