Environmental Assessment of Buildings – A Suggestion
Slovak Journal of Civil Engineering, 2020 This article proposes to contribute to the discussion on environmental product declarations for buildings. Using a simple life-cycle analysis of a low-energy detached house and CO2-equivalent emissions as a comparative unit, the case study presented ...

Embodied Energy Analysis: A Sustainable Construction Design Assessment Tool [PDF]
, 2009 Embodied energy analysis can be used as a construction design assessment tool in a sustainable matrix for a building. Its implementation however remains challenging mainly because of data measurement errors.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Nanosecond infrared laser (NIRL) low‐volume sampling combined with shotgun lipidomics uncovers distinct lipidome alterations in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) of the palatine tonsil. Several lipid species consistently differentiate tumor from healthy tissue, highlighting their potential as diagnostic markers.

Embodied Energy and CO2 Emissions of Widely Used Building Materials: The Ethiopian Context
Buildings, 2019 Buildings use a wide range of construction materials, and the manufacturing of each material consumes energy and emits CO2. Several studies have already been conducted to evaluate the embodied energy and the related CO2 emissions of building materials ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Subsidizing energy saving capital accumulation: a real option approach [PDF]
Some environmental policies, like tax credit, have tried to induce the acquisition of energy efficient units and the replacement of old energy inefficient vintages. However, they have faced the energy paradox that is a slow diffusion of new vintages.

An Empirical Charge Transfer Potential with Correct Dissociation Limits
, 2003 The empirical valence bond (EVB) method [J. Chem. Phys. 52, 1262 (1970)] has always embodied charge transfer processes. The mechanism of that behavior is examined here and recast for use as a new empirical potential energy surface for large-scale ...

Effectiveness of design codes for life cycle energy optimisation [PDF]
, 2017 The built environment is materially inefficient, with structural material wastage in the order of 50% being common. As operational energy consumption in buildings falls, due to continued tightening of regulations and improvements in the efficiency of ...
