Can Environmental Markets Pay for More Sustainable Farm Dams? A Cost–Benefit Analysis

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farm dams are widespread artificial waterbodies that play a critical role in agricultural water security. Enhancing these systems through sustainable interventions such as fencing, hardened access points, and revegetation can improve water quality and deliver carbon and biodiversity co‐benefits.

Achieve Sustainability by Easing Population to 4 Billion by 2200

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The past century of massive increases in human population and resource use has seen many undesirable environmental effects, ranging from biodiversity loss to climate change. But a research gap exists, as the ultimate causes are often not described with precision or mentioned at all.

Contribution of Institutional Research in the Southern African Development Community Region Towards Sustainable Development Goals: A Bibliometric Review Using SciVal

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regional alignment of research towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is key to achieving the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The countries in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region share many challenges, and by focusing on SDG‐related research collectively, they could be better positioned ...

A Novel Approach to Energy Management in Electric Steelworks

open access: yessteel research international, EarlyView.
Feed‐forward neural networks are exploited to estimate electric energy consumptions of the electric arc furnace and ladle furnace processes. The models are used to optimize production schedule so that more energy intensive grades are produced when the cost of energy is lower.

Decreasing the Environmental Impact of the Electric Steelmaking Route Through Advanced Modelling Techniques

open access: yessteel research international, EarlyView.
Ensemble models are adopted to estimate the sterile content of scraps arriving to the scrap yard. Feed‐forward neural networks are exploited to estimate steel composition and temperature after Ladle furnace. The models are validated on data from two steelworks very satisfactory results and are inherently transferable to other steelworks, as they are ...
