Carbon emission reduction potentials through thinned wood in Japan

Decomposition and Analysis of Driving Forces of GHG Emissions and Emission Reduction Potentials in Iran

Climate change cannot control unless by reduction of GHG emissions to secure level, therefore it is important to identify driving forces and possible scenarios based on targets. In this research, the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index decomposition approach in combination with Extended Kaya Identity (EKI) are applied to investigate five factors could affect emissions during 1971-2012 in Iran. Thes...

Towards Carbon Emission Reduction Using ICT

The impact of global warming is now showing its ability to disturb human and other forms of life on the earth. Environmental pollution and how it can be minimised is a global issue for discussion. There is an increase in promoting human activities that are environmental friendly through the “green” initiatives. Green computing is how the computing profession is responding to concern for minimis...

Energy Policies for Carbon Dioxide Emission Reduction

Carbon Dynamics in Wood Products

The carbon (C) reservoir of wood products in Finnish construction and civil engineering was estimated by three inventories including the years 1980, 1990 and 1995. The inventory method is mainly based on the statistics of Finnish building stock. The use of different construction materials in different parts of buildings is estimated for each building type. Information collected through building...

Adaptive nulling in thinned planar arrays through Genetic Algorithms

The nulling of interferences or jammers impinging on a planar antenna array is addressed by means of an efficient adaptive control strategy based on a Genetic Algorithm. Each element of the array is uniformly weighted and the nulling feature is yielded by controlling a set of radiofrequency switches that connect or disconnect the elements from the beam forming network. Under the assumption that...
