Sectorial Investigation of Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment in the Context of Case Studies

Gazi Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Dergisi
The emergence of the concept of sustainability has brought with it the challenge of measuring this concept. Over the years, methods have been developed to assess the environmental impacts of sustainability using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), evaluate its ...

Models for Sustainability

BioResources, 2016
As one of the major methodologies used in the modeling of sustainability, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is widely used to evaluate the environmental impacts of emerging technologies and to enhance decision making towards sustainable development.

Life Cycle Thinking for Sustainable Consumption and Production towards a Circular Economy [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2020
The current model of a linear economy with end-of-pipe waste treatment is not sustainable. Cleaner production helps reduce resource use and emissions, but is still not an optimal solution without considering a life cycle perspective.

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

The Approach of Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment of Biorefineries

, 2016
A key driver for the necessary sustainable development is the implementation of the BioEconomy, which is based on renewable resources to satisfy its energy and material demand of our society. The broad spectrum of biomass resources offers great opportunities for a comprehensive product portfolio to satisfy the different needs of a BioEconomy.

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Life cycle assessment of the sustainability of bridges: methodology, literature review and knowledge gaps

Frontiers in Built Environment
Analysing the entire project life cycle is a new trend in sustainability assessment in the construction sector. Research on sustainability issues in the construction sector started with issues related to buildings, while research for other structures ...

Optimizing the Life Cycle of Physical Assets through an Integrated Life Cycle Assessment Method

Energies, 2021
The purpose of this study was to apply new methods of econometric models to the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of physical assets, by integrating investments such as maintenance, technology, sustainability, and technological upgrades, and to propose a means

Cell geometry and membrane protein crowding constrain Escherichia coli growth rate, overflow metabolism, respiration, and maintenance energy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

Insights into the entire building life cycle assessment (LCA): existing trends, challenges and prospective framework

Journal of Environmental Engineering and Landscape Management
Building sustainability assessment increasingly demands life cycle coverage that captures environmental burdens and trade-offs beyond operational energy, including embodied impacts and end of life (EoL) outcomes under circular economy (CE) pathways ...
