The Mid-eastern Inner Mongolia of China, a typical agro-pastoral transitional zone, has undergone rapid agricultural land use changes including land reclamation and cropland abandonment in past decades due to growing population and food demand, climatic variability, and land use policy such as the "Grain for Green" Project (GFG Project). It is significant to the regional ecology and sustainabil...

a r t i c l e i n f o Land has been reclaimed along the coastal areas in many parts of the world to meet the growing demand for houses and other land use. Over 15 km 2 of land has been reclaimed around the Shekou peninsula, Shenzhen, China. Land reclamation may have significant influences on groundwater systems but this problem has not been adequately studied. Using FEFLOW (Diersch, 2005), a th...

Coal resource is the main primary energy in our country, while Shanxi Province is the most important province in resource. Therefore Shanxi is an energy base for our country and has a great significance in energy strategy. However because of the heavy development of the coal resource, the ecological environment is worsening and the farmland is reducing continuously in Shanxi Province. How to re...

With rising consumer demands, society is tapping into wastewater as an innovative source to recycle depleting resources. Novel reclamation technologies have been recently explored for this purpose, including several that optimize natural biological processes targeted reclamation. However, emerging field has a noticeable dearth of synthetic material are programmed capture, release, and specified...

This study reports on the use of a substrate-reclamation technology for a gallium nitride (GaN)-based lighting-emitting diode (LED) wafer. There are many ways to reclaim sapphire substrates of scrap LED wafers. Compared with a common substrate-reclamation method based on chemical mechanical polishing, this research technology exhibits simple process procedures, without impairing the surface mor...

Re-enchantment and Reclamation is a two-year research project, begun in 2006, involving four artists based at Lancaster University UK, who are collaborating with four artists from the UK and abroad. Through a programme of workshops and lectures the project aims to discover and develop methods in dance, film, and the sonic arts for re-enchanting and reclaiming the landscape of Morecambe Bay in t...

I t used to be said that the Chicago nieat packers utilized everything but the pig's grunt. Many o f our latter,jay environmentalists seem to feel that the sanie degree o f tfficiency can be applied to recovery and reuse o f our nalion's mountaim of solid wastes. N o doubt. we can recover considerably greater amounts than we are presently nianaging. but this approach to the solution o f the sol...

Unlike green sand, chemically bonded sand cannot be used again and again without reclamation because in this system, the mixed sand gets it`s strength through chemical reaction which is irreversible in nature. Each sand particle is coated with this reacted chemical, which behaves like an inert element after usage once. This inert coating also called “Dead” binder needs to be removed from the us...
