Demosaicking and zooming are important for the quality of digital images in resource-constrained single chip devices such as wireless camera phones and vision-based pocket devices. The color artifacts introduced in the demosaicking process can be magnified in the subsequent zooming process and vice versa. This paper presents a joint demosaicking–zooming scheme by exploiting the fact that red/gr...

Green Information Technology (IT) adoption has been the focal point for Information System researchers in recent years. These studies have focused on identifying factors that influence individuals’ intention or actual behavior either positively or negatively. To the best of the researchers’ knowledge, no study has examined how persuasion can be used to influence Green IT practicing and if persu...

this paper takes a close look at the process of evolution of france’s spatial planning system. the rich background and solid approach of spatial planning in france, introduces this country as one of the pioneers of planning in various levels from local to urban and regional scales. the vision of this country during last decades especially in the field of spatial-physical development planning an...

In this study, an efficient and green process for the synthesis of dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones from aromatic benzaldehydes, ethyl acetoacetate and urea using Al-MCM-41 as heterogeneous catalyst and microreactor under solvent-free conditions has been developed. The advantages of this method are easy work-up procedure, regeneration of the catalyst, clean and neutral reaction conditions.

An one-pot method has been developed for the synthesis of azo dyes via sequential diazotization–diazo coupling of aromatic amines with coupling agents at room temperature in the presence of Bi(NO3)3. 5H2O. Short reaction times, high yields, a clean process, simple methodology, easy work-up and green ‎conditions are advantages of this protocol.‎

An efficient and green method for the synthesis of pyrano[3,2-c]chromene or pyrano[4,3-b]pyrone derivatives is described by using a three-component condensation process of malononitrile, aldehyde, and 4-hydroxycoumarine or 4-hydroxypyrone in [BMIm]BF4-LiCl as an ionic liquid.

To build the Green Production System is a practice of green development in China, which is an important way to transform the economic development mode and to complete ecological civilization construction. This study defined the meaning of Green Production System, constructed the green production evaluation index system and made empirical evaluations on green production situation of several adva...

Over the last decade, an increasing number of firms are undertaking actions to cut their environmental impact. As information technology and information systems have permeated most business activities, they offer an important opportunity to solve the ecological problems. Green information technology and information systems (ITIS) has become one of the latest considerations to reduce energy cons...

This paper reports on the practice of using two Green Information System (Green IS) solutions in a large organisation called Acadia. These Green IS solutions are the Unified Communications and Collaboration (UCC) system and a Sustainable Knowledge Management and Sharing (SKMS) system. The Green IS refers to specific information system artefacts that organisations create and/or apply to achieve ...

Green software engineering is a main software engineering process in the 21st century. In the previous era, software engineers concerned mainly with development of hardware or software without giving more importance to sustainability. There is no effort towards the technical, economical, environmental, social and individual aspects of the sustainability of the environment. In developed countrie...
