page 1 The ADVOCATE Project The ADVOCATE Project (Advancing Sustainable In Situ Remediation for Contaminated Land and Groundwater) is now under way. This Marie Curie Initial Training Network is an exciting collaboration between leading European institutions, providing advanced training to young researchers in this field. The network aims to develop innovative in-situ approaches for the sustaina...

Developing a sustainable energy system is an enormous challenge. Despite many reports that suggest otherwise the main challenge does not seem to be of a technical nature: with proven technologies it is possible to design an energy system that produces only a fraction of the emissions (CO2 as well as pollutants) of the current system (IPPC, 2001). Rather than a lack of good technical solutions t...

Today, “Sustainable production” has attracted a great deal of interest by academic researchers and practitioners due to the raising environmental and social concerns. Sustainable EPQ model has been developed as a result of this interest and also necessity. This paper develops a novel sustainable EPQ (SEPQ) model under partial backordering consideration. The model converts all emission variation...

Three new species are described from Iran: Cortodera kukinae Danilevsky et Skrylnik, sp. n. (Tehran province), Dorcadion (Cribridorcadion) olegpaki and Phytoecia (Musaria) plyushchi (Gilan province). The illustrated redescription of (C.) cingulatum Ganglbauer, 1884 is given. New synonyms proposed: D. = ursulaheinzi Bernhauer, 2015, syn. invicinum Pic, 1902, stat. resurr. considered as a distinc...

Energy plays a crucial role in the sustainable development of modern nations. Today, hydrogen is considered most promising alternative fuel as it can be generated from clean and green sources. Moreover, an efficient energy carrier because burning only generates water byproduct. Currently, natural gas. However, produced using other methods, i.e., physicochemical, thermal, biological. The biologi...
