The dairy industry has been scrutinized for the environmental impact associated with rearing and maintaining cattle production. There are 3 possible opportunities to reduce emissions through genetic selection: (1) a direct methane trait, (2) reduction in replacements, (3) an increase productivity. Our aim was estimate independent effects of traits Australian National Breeding Objective on gross...

the goal of this study was to analysis the greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions of pasta production. data for this study was collected from durum wheat farms of three provinces of iran. data of soil properties, transportation and pasta factory stages were collected and analyzed, using simapro software, ecoinvent data base and global warming potential (gwp) 100 years method. epic model was used to cal...

       The protective effect of tomato extract and lycopene on acute doxorubicin-induced myocardial toxicity was evaluated in mice. Doxorubicin toxicity, induced by a single intraperitoneal injection (15 mg/kg), was revealed by elevated serum CPKMB and histopathological observations. Tomato extract (1.2 and 2.4 g/kg, i.p.) and lycopene (1.7 and 3.5 mg/kg, i.p.), prevented the rise in serum CPKM...

The interactive effects of CO2 elevation, N fertilization, and reduced irrigation regimes on fruit yield (FY) and quality in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) were investigated in a split-root pot experiment. The plants were grown in two separate climate-controlled greenhouse cells at atmospheric [CO2] of 400 and 800 ppm, respectively. In each cell, the plants were fertilized at either 100 or 20...

With the support of a life cycle assessment model, this study estimates carbon footprint (CF) smartphones and costs (LCC) for consumers in scenarios where different material efficiency strategies are implemented Europe. Results show that major contribution to CF is due extraction processing materials following manufacturing parts: 10.7 kg CO2,eq/year, when assuming biennial replacement cycle. P...

The environmental impacts associated with the intensification of agricultural practices have become an emerging issue, and new techniques are being developed to satisfy public demands. application fertilizers is a crucial step for agriculture practices. Building upon previous studies at Mediterranean basin, objective research presented herein was quantify greenhouse gas emissions four different...

abstract in order to assess the environmental impact of agricultural activity, the long-term sustainability should be considered. in order to achieve solutions to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions in the production of rainfed sunflower, this assessment was conducted in the north east of iran. four production methods, i.e. conventional tillage (ct), tow reduced tillages (rt1and rt2)...

Emission metrics aggregate climate impacts of greenhouse gases to common units such as CO2-equivalents (CO2-eq.). Examples include the global warming potential (GWP), the global temperature change potential (GTP) and the absolute sustained emission temperature (aSET). Despite the importance of biomass as a primary energy supplier in existing and future scenarios, emission metrics for CO2 from f...
