The European Green Deal strategy, prepared in 2019, involves a number of challenges for agriculture. These are broadly linked to need agriculture undertake actions order improve environmental and climate protection, which will require changes agricultural practices the currently observed industrialization processes that destabilizing ecosystems climate. In view diversity its impacts on environm...

OBJECTIVES This study presents the indicators and proxy variables for the quantitative assessment of green chemistry technologies and evaluates the relative importance of each assessment element by consulting experts from the fields of ecology, chemistry, safety, and public health. METHODS The results collected were subjected to an analytic hierarchy process to obtain the weights of the indic...

Environmental sustainability can be applied to software systems in two different understandings — either as green in software systems (greening of IT / green IT) or as green through software systems (greening by IT). Currently it is not clear how environmental sustainability can be systematically supported as an objective in requirements engineering for either of these two understandings. This ...

The incorporation of ecological objectives in the design of information systems has gained increasing attention by IS research in recent years. Nevertheless, from the perspective of IT Service Management (ITSM), comprehensive approaches are still warranting attention. The objective of this paper is therefore to develop a process for the management of ecology in ITSM. By using the method of refe...

Researches on green data centers have defined guidelines and end-to-end methodologies to increase energy efficiency. Most of these approaches require a disrupting reengineering of the infrastructure and significant upfront investments. Smaller data centers need to reach green objectives with a more incremental approach. The EnergIT project proposes a methodology and related tools that support t...

This paper presents a dual-objective facility programming model for a green supply chain network. The main objectives of the presented model are minimizing overall expenditure and negative environmental impacts of the supply chain. This study contributes to the existing literature by incorporating uncertainty in customer demand, suppliers, production, and casting capacity. An industrial case st...

Lean system consists of best common sense practices for optimum resource utilization. Green manufacturing focuses on practices which reduce negative impacts on the environment. Global market conditions forced organizations to adopt Green-Lean (GL) concepts in the last few years. This paper focuses on the significant lean practices impacting the environment. The lean practices act as driver for ...

OBJECTIVES Robotic gastrectomy has become increasingly popular in the treatment of gastric cancer, especially in Asian countries. The use of indocyanine green fluorescence has been reported in lymphatic mapping for gastric cancer in laparoscopic gastrectomy; however, there have been few reports regarding the use of indocyanine green in robotic gastrectomy. METHODS From January 2011 to March 2...

Objectives: Periodontal pathogens need acidic environments to proliferate in periodontium, and their growth is affected by the salivary flow rate and pH of the mouth. Alterations in flow and acidity of saliva have an important effect on oral diseases such as periodontitis. This study was designed to compare salivary pH and flow rate before and after using green tea, black tea and coffee in pati...

background & aim: in this study, is done during one-year research on blue–green and green algae for antimicrobial activity in mashhad suburb. aqueous, ether, and methanol extracts from 44 species blue – green algae and green algae were examined for antimicrobial properties against four bacteria (tow positive gram bacteria and tow negative gram bacteria) and tow fungous. material & meth...
