Abstract To feed future populations on ever-scarcer natural resources, policy initiatives aim to decrease resource footprints of food consumption. While adopting healthier diets has shown great potential reduce footprints, current political primarily address strategies waste, with the target halving waste at retail and consumption levels by 2030. Using Germany as a case study, we compare resour...

A power transformer is one of the most responsible and expensive assets in systems networks. Failure a can lead not only to downtime entire electricity transmission path, but also danger personnel environment. One main reasons for failure deterioration insulation windings. The windings affected by many different factors, factors effect temperature due values currents flowing through exposed eff...

This document presents the Web Energy Archive (WEA) project led by the Green Code Lab. This tools aims at measuring the computer resource consumption (energy, memory...) of the loading of a website in a browser. Firstly, considering the measure of 500 websites, website behavior can be characterized in terms of environmental impact. In a second step, best practices (green patterns) can be recomm...

This article proposes an integrated framework for adaptive QoS provision in IEEE 802.16e broadband wireless access networks based on cross-layer design. On one hand, an efficient admission control (AC) algorithm is proposed along with a semi-reservation scheme to guarantee the connection-level QoS. First, to guarantee the service continuity for handoff connections and resource efficiency, our s...

Social concerns about the environment and global warming suggest that industries must focus on reducing energy consumption, due to its social impact and changing laws. Furthermore, the smart grid will bring time-dependent tariffs that pose new challenges to the optimisation of resource allocation. In this paper we address the problem of optimising energy consumption in manufacturing processes b...

Wireless sensor networks is an emerging technology that serves as environment monitors in many applications. Yet these miniatures suffer from constrained resources in terms of computation capabilities and energy resources. Limited energy resource in these nodes demands an efficient consumption of that resource either by developing the modules itself or by providing an efficient communication pr...
