After the 2008 crisis, smart sustainable development of port areas/cities should be developed on the basis of specific principles: the synergy principle (between different actors/systems, in particular the socio-cultural and economic system), the creativity principle and the circularization principle. The Historic Urban landscape (HUL) approach becomes the guarantee that the transition toward t...

This paper presents a comprehensive review of current trends and opportunities for sustainable concrete construction, emphasizing the importance adopting eco-friendly practices to mitigate industry's environmental impact. Green concrete, supplementary cementitious materials, permeable cool use local materials are explored as technologies. Innovations like self-healing 3D-printed photocatalytic ...

Consider a rectangular art gallery divided into n rectangular rooms, such that any two rooms sharing a wall in common have a door connecting them. How many guards need to be stationed in the gallery so as to protect all of the rooms in our gallery? Notice that if a guard is stationed at a door, he will be able to guard two rooms. Our main aim in this paper is to show that Èn/2 ̆ guards are alway...

Integrating eco-design methods for circular Power Electronics Converters (PECs) based products in industry is crucial to endorse Sustainable Development Goals within planetary limits. However, eco-designing (PE) remains today on optimising the energy efficiency and power density of usage phase electronic designed. PE engineers design PECs by developing electrical equations topologies, with a we...

Results, and Innovations in Nutrition Globally (SPRING) project that use secondary analysis of Demographic and Health Survey data to determine barriers to distribution and consumption of iron–folic acid (IFA) through antenatal care systems in a range of countries. This brief describes key characteristics of and barriers to successful IFA supplementation in Senegal. SPRING NUTRITION TECHNICAL BRIEF

Climate change is strongly linked to human behavior and technologies, and many of the barriers to sustainable behavior are rather psychological than technological. More sustainable technologies and food products have been introduced to combat climate change, most often labeled with morally loaded labels such as “organic” or “environmentally friendly”. The purpose of this thesis was, first, to g...

The presence of regulatory requirements that physicians supervise nurse practitioner (NP) practice and of policies that affect insurance reimbursement policies create barriers that limit North Carolina NPs from practicing to the full extent of their licensure, education, and certification. This article reviews these barriers and offers policy recommendations to ensure that NPs are equal partner...
