By 'working with the willing', the National Industrial Symbiosis Programme (NISP) has successfully facilitated industrial symbiosis throughout the UK and, in the process, delivered significant economic and environmental benefits for both Programme members and the country as a whole. One of the keys to NISP's success is that, unlike failed attempts to plan and construct eco-industrial systems fr...

BACKGROUND Humans living near industrial point emissions can experience high levels of exposures to air pollutants. Map Ta Phut Industrial Estate in Thailand is the location of the largest steel, oil refinery, and petrochemical factory complexes in Southeast Asia. Air pollution is an important source of oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species, which interact with DNA and lipids, leading to...

Growths and clusters of minerals (magnetic electrostatic flocs micelles) in the sediment composition natural man-made reservoirs technological cycle mining metallurgical enterprises have been studied. Their influence on sedimentation differentiation substances efficiency ore separation industrial waste processing conditions beneficiation factories was determined.

The Self-Organizing Map has been successfully applied in numerous industrial applications. An important task in data analysis is finding and visualizing multiple dependencies in data. In this paper, we propose a method for visualizing the Self-Organizing Map by decomposing the feature dimensions into groups with high correlation or selections by domain experts. Using Gradient Visualization we p...

In this study we use economic input-output analysis to calculate the inequality footprint of nations. An inequality footprint shows the link that each country's domestic economic activity has to income distribution elsewhere in the world. To this end we use employment and household income accounts for 187 countries and an historical time series dating back to 1990. Our results show that in 2010...

Swelling layered clay minerals form an important sub-group of the phyllosilicate family. They are characterized by their ability to expand or contract in presence absence water. This property makes them useful for a variety applications, ranging from environmental technologies heterogeneous catalysis, and including pharmaceutical industrial applications. Solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (...

Transfer entropy (TE) is a model-free approach based on information theory to capture causality between variables, which has been used for the modeling and monitoring of, and fault diagnosis in, complex industrial processes. It is able to detect the causality between variables without assuming any underlying model, but it is computationally burdensome. To overcome this limitation, a hybrid meth...

Industries play a vital part in progress of human civilization. The process of industrialization leads to several detrimental effects on human health and environment with its toxic discharges. Among several developing countries, India is considered as a country having huge natural resources with emerging industrial avenues for satisfying the growing demands of ever-increasing population. As a r...
