Design for Disassembly to Recover Embodied Energy [PDF]
, 1999 The embodied energy in building materials and components represents a major part of the total energy requirement of any building. When a building is demolished, most of the materials are discarded, and along with them the embodied energy is lost.

Multi-Objective Optimization of a Building's Embodied Energy, Operational Energy, and Embodied Water [PDF]
, 2023 Buildings account for approximately 40% of annual energy consumption and 16% of annual water withdrawals globally over their life cycle. Moreover, most building designs consider only the operational energy use of buildings during their life cycle ...

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience reduced physical function, fatigue, poor sleep quality, and impaired health‐related quality of life. Intradialytic exercise has been proposed as a non‐pharmacological strategy to improve these outcomes.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Research on virtual water-embodied energy consumption and efficiency accounting in Liaoning
Environmental Challenges, 2022 Due to the extensive development model of ''focusing on development with high investment'' for a long time, the resources input of industry in Liaoning is seriously mismatched with economic output, resulting in serious waste of resources. In view of this,
