Annual Review of Materials Research, 2022
Attempts to track material flows and the calculation of efficiency for material systems go hand in hand. Questions of where materials come from, where materials go to, and how much material is lost along the way are embedded in human societies. This article reviews material flows, their analysis, and progress toward material efficiency. We focus first

Material efficiency: A white paper
Resources, Conservation and Recycling, 2011For most materials used to provide buildings, infrastructure, equipment and products, global stocks are still sufficient to meet anticipated demand, but the environmental impacts of materials production and processing, particularly those related to energy, are rapidly becoming critical.

Energy Efficient Construction Materials
Key Engineering Materials, 2016History itself is the evident that from the years together the people moves to the region where they can satisfy their needs and wants with fewer efforts and more opportunities. This thought lead to accumulation of people in some areas resulting in urbanization.

Efficient Material Breach of Contract
Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization, 2017In an environment in which sellers can reduce the probability of defective delivery through cooperative investment, and in which enforcement of default remedies for breach of contract is imperfect, an optimal performance standard grants buyers the option to reject goods for some but not all defects, in other words, when the delivery is sufficiently ...

Efficient Data Cube Materialization
2020In the field of business intelligence, we require the analysis of multidimensional data with the need for it being fast and interactive. Data warehousing and OLAP approaches have been developed for this purpose in which the data is viewed in the form of a multidimensional data cube which allows interactive analysis of the data in various levels of ...

Material Efficiency – Providing Material Services with Less Material
Philosophical transactions. Series A, Mathematical, physical, and engineering sciences, 2013Material efficiency, as discussed in this Meeting Issue, entails the pursuit of the technical strategies, business models, consumer preferences and policy instruments that would lead to a substantial reduction in the production of high-volume energy-intensive materials required to deliver human well-being.

Silicon nanowires as efficient thermoelectric materials
Nature, 2008Thermoelectric materials interconvert thermal gradients and electric fields for power generation or for refrigeration. Thermoelectrics currently find only niche applications because of their limited efficiency, which is measured by the dimensionless parameter ZT-a function of the Seebeck coefficient or thermoelectric power, and of the electrical and ...
