Coupling GIS with Stormwater Modelling for the Location Prioritization and Hydrological Simulation of Permeable Pavements in Urban Catchments [PDF]

, 2016
Permeable Pavement Systems (PPS) are an alternative to conventional paving systems that allow water to filter through their layers instead of running off them. They are structural source control Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS), which can contribute to

Empowering citizens to spontaneously report suspected adverse drug reaction: Systematic literature review of interventions and their impact

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
This systematic literature review aimed to identify and characterize existing interventions designed to empower citizens to spontaneously report adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and to determine which interventions have been shown to be the most effective internationally. The research question was structured using the PICO framework.

RECTANGULAR CONCRETE BLOCKS FOR INTERLOCKING PAVING: USE OF SPENT FOUNDRY SAND AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR NATURAL SAND

MIX Sustentável
Spent foundry sand (SFS) is a solid waste generated in large quantities by the foundry industry. The use of the SFS as a substitute for natural sand is a more sustainable solution to address disposal issues. In this study, rectangular concrete blocks were developed for use in paving with total replacement of natural sand by SFS contaminated with ...

Mechanisms Of Fracturing In Structures Built From Topologically Interlocked Blocks [PDF]

, 2004
Failure of materials is in many cases associated with initiation and subsequent propagation of macroscopic fractures. Consequently, in order to increase the strength, one needs to inhibit either crack initiation or propagation.

The EU's Strategy for Sustainability: A Landmark Turn With the European Green Deal?

European Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While the European Green Deal (EGD) has been widely recognized as a milestone in the EU's sustainability strategy, scholars disagree on the nature of the policy change it represents. Critics highlight its limited social and environmental ambitions, despite its portrayal as a “man on the moon” moment.
