Material efficiency (ME) strategies are pursued by governments and companies to reduce environmental emissions, improve supply chain resilience, enhance cost competitiveness. flow analysis (MFA) methods useful quantify raw material stocks flows assess the potential impacts of ME strategies. Although popularity MFA is increasing, there methodological limitations that hinder its use as a decision...

Important: Review Appendix A of [3] and make sure you understand it. The text below hits a few important topics from that material and adds a few more relevant items. Some of it will be covered in class but it is up to you to fill in the rest. Many of the things discussed here will be referred to during the semester.

The paper describes I-Promise, an expert system for configuration design of complex protective materials. Configuration problem of I-Promise is a part of conceptual design of complex protective materials; hence the context of conceptual design and configuration problems is briefly described before the detailed description of I-Promise, its problem domain, its design, and its application. Due to...

Cultural geography has a long and fruitful tradition of working at the intersections between performance art: in this piece we build upon by considering how artistic practice can shed light on housing crisis via focus quotidian practices design. Here, Anne Tallentire’s exhibition Material Distance, which took place 2022–23 John Hansard Gallery, Southampton, UK. A conceptual artist with moving i...

energy conservation in buildings plays a vital role for sustainable development of societies and nations. although, newer buildings in developing nations are being constructed using energy conservation approach, existing buildings have higher energy demand to meet the desired comfort. excessive energy demand for cooling the built environment is a major problem over most of the arid climatic zon...

Hydrothermal synthetic were studied for the preparation of coordination polymeric material basedon Ag (I) and 4, 4"-bipy. A polymeric compound [Ag (4, 4'-bipy)].NO3. (I), was prepared andstructurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1(91% yield) was isolatedfrom the reaction of AgNO3 with 4, 41bipy in 2:1 molar ratio. In compound I. each silver (I) islinked to two nit...
