Social and material models consider hyperconsumption to be an unsustainable practice of consumer behavior that is responsible for the considerable damage inflicted upon planet. The primary objective this research study was develop validate a novel measurement scale assess (HB) from consumer’s point view. Based on literature theory, HB developed validated over three studies. first consisted item...

The cross efficiency evaluation is used to performance measurement of decision making units in data envelopment analysis concept. One of the most important shortcoming of this method is existing alternative optimal solution and therefore, the efficiency scores are not unique. We are going to summarize the pervious models proposed by researchers and suggest an alternative secondary goal approach...

This article is a philosopher's expanded review of two recent books on neurophysiology: Rodolfo Llinás's I of the Vortex and György Buszáki's Rhythms of the Brain. Researchers such as these are converging on a view of consciousness as originating in motility and as inherently temporal due to the brainwave oscillations that underlay it. Most current discussions of consciousness include implicit ...

“O morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in his bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug,” wrote Franz Kafka in The Metamorphosis. “He lay on his armorhard back and saw, as he lifted his head up a little, his brown, arched abdomen divided up into rigid bow-like sections. From this height the blanket, just about ready to slide off completely...

As a community, we (programmers, compiler writers, hardware architects, etc.) often take folklore, e.g. claims in programming guides, for granted. Inspired by Descartes’ methodic doubt, i.e. challenging the truth of one’s beliefs, we question this folklore. Thus, we have developed a tool suite to systematically test the memory ordering behaviour of multiand manycore chips and compared our obser...

The biological phosphorus removal is a microbial process widely used for removing phosphorus fromwastewater to avoid eutrophication of water bodies. The study was aimed to screen the efficient phosphatereducing isolates and used to remove phosphate from synthetic wastewater using batch scale process. Thethree most efficient phosphate reducers were isolated and screened from eu...

Climate change continues to affect the lives of individuals across world, creating a rise in demand for new technologies that can slow down impacts climate change. Shanghai, one largest cities has highest carbon emission levels. In recent years, research and development energy-efficient have gained more attention. The Shanghai Tower is pioneer green building design prominent example Shanghai’s ...
