The Queensland food eco-efficiency project: reducing risk and improving competitiveness

Improving access and equity in reducing cardiovascular risk: the Queensland Health model.

OBJECTIVES To measure changes in cardiovascular risk factors among patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and/or type 2 diabetes enrolled in a centralised statewide coaching program delivered by telephone and mail-out in the public health sector in Queensland. DESIGN A population-based audit of cardiovascular risk factor data collected prospectively as part of The COACH (Coaching Patients...

Eco-Efficiency of Regions: Toward Reducing Total Material Input

The concept of eco-efficiency is here presented as a valuable contribution to a sustainable regional development in the European Union. Eco-efficiency and dematerialization strategies are more and more established at the business level where practical and easily understandable methods and management tools have been developed and applied in the past years and decades. On this (micro) level, case...

The efficiency and eco-efficiency of manufacturing

In this paper, we review the efficiency of both manufacturing processes and systems over recent decades and compare nano-materials technologies in this context. To a first approximation, nano-materials processes appear to be about as efficient as semi-conductor processes. That is, their second law efficiencies are of the order 10, while conventional processes are of order 10. However, many of t...
