Industrial ecology : Reflections on a colloquium ( environmental technologies / dematerialization / decarbonization )
Industrial ecology is the network of all industrial processes as they may interact with each other and live off each other, not only in the economic sense, but also in the sense of direct use of each other's material and energy wastes and products. This paper, which reflects upon the papers and discussions at the National Academy ofSciences Colloquium on Industrial Ecology on May 20-21, 1991, i...
متن کاملHuman Ecology: Industrial Ecology
Industrial Ecology aims to inform decision making about the environmental impacts of industrial production processes by tracking and analyzing resource use and flows of industrial products, consumer products and wastes. Quantifying the patterns of use of materials and energy in different societies is one area of research in Industrial Ecology. An extensive literature is devoted in particular to...
متن کاملDarkness visible: reflections on underground ecology
1 Soil science and ecology have developed independently, making it difficult for ecologists to contribute to urgent current debates on the destruction of the global soil resource and its key role in the global carbon cycle. Soils are believed to be exceptionally biodiverse parts of ecosystems, a view confirmed by recent data from the UK Soil Biodiversity Programme at Sourhope, Scotland, where h...
متن کاملMechanical & Industrial Engineering Colloquium : Me 794 001
Recent advancements in robotics and clinical neuroscience have rendered possible the use of robots as therapeutic aids for physical rehabilitation. Implementation of robotics is particularly appealing in motor retraining cases, due to the intensive and repetitive nature of the exercises. The application of robotic technology to rehabilitation also presents new avenues in rehabilitation that wer...
متن کاملIndustrial ecology: a philosophical introduction.
By analogy with natural ecosystems, an industrial ecology system, in addition to minimizing waste production in processes, would maximize the economical use of waste materials and of products at the ends of their lives as inputs to other processes and industries. This possibility can be made real only if a number of potential problems can be solved. These include the design of wastes along with...
