The use of food waste as feedstock in the manufacture high-value products is a promising avenue to contribute circular economy. Considering that majority environmental impacts are determined early phases product development, it crucial integrate life cycle assessment during these phases. This study integrates considerations development solid-state fermentation based on cultivation N. intermedia...

deep drawing of cylindrical shapes with high limiting drawing ratio (ldr) values is relatively difficult. annealing is a further operation, which in turn adds costs and consumes significantly time to the forming process. in the present work, cylindrical cups from brass sheet were made with only limited anneal during few steps, but having ldr of 9 that is about 2 times higher than previous works...

Malnutrition continues to be a key health problem in developing regions. The valorization of food waste appears as an ideal way to prevent malnutrition and improve people's access to food. Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) and caraway (Carum carvi L.) oilseeds are commonly used for cuisine and medicinal purposes. However, remaining cakes after oil extraction are usually underutilized. In order to asse...

Introduction: Bread making quality is affected by gluten genes and balance between their expressions. Hence, it is necessary for a comprehensive research to study and compare all gluten genes and their regulating elements simultaneously. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the molecular mechanism of bread quality in the level of coding genes and regulating elements via compa...

We examine the intertemporal allocation of the solid waste of cities within the United States to spatially distributed landfills and incinerators, taking into account that capacity at existing and potential landfills is scarce. Amendments have been proposed to restrict waste flows between states by means of quotas and surcharges. We assess the aggregate surplus loss (and its regional distributi...

A key challenge over the next decade for some national programmes and an important learning opportunity for many others will be the construction and operation of the first deep geological repositories for High Level Waste (HLW) and Spent Fuel (SF). As the orientation of work on disposal shifts from mainly research, development and demonstration to industrial implementation, waste management age...

In September 1987 an accident occurred with a cesium chloride (CsCl) teletherapy source taken from a cancer therapy institute in Goiânia, Brazil. Misuse of the abandoned source caused widespread contamination of radioactive material (about 50 TBq of Cs) in the town of Goiânia. Decontamination of affected areas did lead to about 3,500 m of solid radioactive wastes, which were disposed in two nea...

We examine the problem of the intertemporal allocation of the solid waste of cities within the United States to spatially distributed landfills and incinerators, taking into account that capacity at existing and potential landfills is scarce. Amendments to the Solid Waste Disposal Act have been proposed to restrict waste flows between states by means of quotas and surcharges. We assess the aggr...
