Ecological life cycle analysis (LCA) on the example of materials used in warehouse buildings [PDF]
Archives of Civil EngineeringConstruction cannot be called as an environment friendly process, hence many solutions are being developed to define the negative interactions of the buildings, determine the extent of environmental impact and find alternatives to improve design ...

No way out? The double-bind in seeking global prosperity alongside mitigated climate change [PDF]
, 2012 In a prior study, I introduced a simple economic growth model designed to be consistent with general thermodynamic laws. Unlike traditional economic models, civilization is viewed only as a well-mixed global whole with no distinction made between ...

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.We demonstrate here the transformation of NBR (Nitrile butadiene rubber) including post‐consumer waste sourced from nitrile gloves and o‐rings into polyamines and polyols via ruthenium catalyzed hydrogenation. ABSTRACT We report here two new approaches for the chemical recycling/upcycling of nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) to make either polyamines or ...

Life cycle analysis of road construction and use [PDF]
, 2019 Both the construction and use of roads have a range of environmental impacts; therefore, it is important to assess the sources of their burdens to adopt correct mitigation policies.

Low-GWP refrigerants for medium and high-pressure applications [PDF]
International Journal of Refrigeration, 2017 The merits of an alternative refrigerant are established based on many attributes including environmental acceptance, chemical stability in the refrigeration system, low toxicity, flammability, efficiency and volumetric capacity. In an earlier work, these criteria were used to screen a comprehensive database to search for refrigerants with low global ...

A Global Meta-Analysis on the Impact of Management Practices on Net Global Warming Potential and Greenhouse Gas Intensity from Cropland Soils. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Management practices, such as tillage, crop rotation, and N fertilization, may affect net global warming potential (GWP) and greenhouse gas intensity (GHGI), but their global impact on cropland soils under different soil and climatic conditions need ...

Impact of Combine Harvester Technological Operations on Global Warming Potential
Applied Sciences, 2021 The agricultural machinery is making a considerable negative contribution to the acceleration of global warming. In this study, we analyzed the impact of combine harvesters (CHs) on the global warming potential (GWP) by evaluating the telematics data ...

Fictitious time wave packet dynamics: I. Nondispersive wave packets in the quantum Coulomb problem
, 2009 Nondispersive wave packets in a fictitious time variable are calculated analytically for the field-free hydrogen atom. As is well known by means of the Kustaanheimo-Stiefel transformation the Coulomb problem can be converted into that of a four ...
