Phosphorus Recovery: New Approaches to Extending the Life Cycle

Using the Life-Cycle Paradigm to Support Factory Planning Approaches

In order to fulfill all challenges related to design, management, evaluation and reconfiguration of new or existing facilities, the development of a new, integrated and holistic factory framework is required. In this context, a new requirements model is proposed in the context of the innovative framework called Virtual Factory Framework. Using this approach in factory planning it is expected to...

Review Paper: Approaches to Post-disaster Environmental Recovery

Background: Environment and its ecosystems are affected by various natural and man-made disasters. The environmental management in disasters tries to protect ecosystems, sustain development, reduce disaster risk, and adapt to or decrease the impact of climate change. This study aimed to investigate the impact of disasters on the environment and methods of reducing these effects....

Life cycle approaches to sustainable consumption: a critical review.

The 2002 World Summit for Sustainable Development in Johannesburg called for a comprehensive set of programs focusing on sustainable consumption and production. According to world leaders, these programs should rely on life cycle assessment (LCA) to promote sustainable patterns of production and consumption. Cleaner production is a well-established activity, and it uses LCA. UNEP, the European ...

Extending the p-cycle concept to path segment protection for span and node failure recovery

This work introduces a significant extension to the method of -cycles for network protection. The main advance is the generalization of the -cycle concept to protect path segments of contiguous working flow, not only spans that lie on the cycle or directly straddle the -cycle. This effectively extends the -cycle technique to include path protection or protection of any flow segment along a path...
