Antifreeze life cycle assessment, II: Mathematical modeling

Food Polymeric Packaging Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

  Food packaging is used to maintain the safety and quality of food during distribution and storage and to protect them from adverse internal and external conditions, such as water vapor, spoilage due to microorganisms, moisture, light, and dust. In this regard, lots of research studies have been done to increase shelf life, safety, and quality to create suitable physico...

Integration of Life Cycle Assessment Into Agent-Based Modeling

ing the World As already mentioned, the WorldMarket of the agent-based model is actually a portal to an LCI database. This integration means that we can simulate a system in which we have a “lens” of complex dynamic behavior where agents interact with a static definition of the world. One Davis et al., Integration of LCA Into Agent-Based Modeling 321 R E S E A R C H A N D A N A LYS I S can furt...

Multiscale Life-Cycle Assessment

A streamlined life-cycle assessment (SLCA) is typically performed at the scale of the completed product. One could also, however, perform SLCAs on components or subsystems (moving down in scale) or on all a corporation’s products (moving up in scale). By analogy with biological ecology, it seems likely that analyses at different scales would ask different questions and reveal different insights...

Comparative Life Cycle Assessment

Life Cycle Assessment for Buildings

The work presents the results of some case studies oriented toward the investigation of the potential of Life Cycle Assessment evaluations in the area of environmental impacts related to the life cycle of buildings. In particular, the aspects connected with the performance behavior of building components (and of the entire building organisms) are dealt, in relation to users’ needs which are cha...
