Outcomes of Ecuador’s Rights of Nature for Nature’s Sakeby
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Abstract The rights of nature have been widely discussed at a philosophical level for a long time, but examples of its practical application are quite rare. Ecuador is the first country to incorporate this concept into its constitutional foundation and put the theory into practice. However, imple [...] 146 1771 |
Bibliometrics of Scientific Articles on Solid Waste Management in Shopping Malls (1999–2020)Abstract The presence of shopping malls causes a social, economic, and environmental impact. The bibliometric analysis is a valuable method used to dentify published research papers, and understand historic information published in scientific journals. This method can be used to carry out qualitative and qua [...] 146 1247 |
The Role of Land Use Planning in Urban Transport to Mitigate Climate Change: A Literature Reviewby
![]() ![]() Abstract With the growing urbanisation phenomenon, ambitious policy interventions are needed to limit transport-related greenhouse gas emissions in urban areas. Cities are a predominant source of pollution, with urban transport contributing significantly to emissions. To address climate change, decision-make [...] 211 2458 |
Health Risks from Supposedly Remediated US Hazardous-Waste Sites: An Early-Warning SignalAbstract Scientific data are almost nonexistent regarding the health-protectiveness of most hazardous-waste-site remediation. Given this data-gap, recently the World Health Organization (WHO) urged scientists to develop methods of “cost-efficient health surveillance” of toxics’ cleanups, includin [...] 138 1677 |
Review of the Carbon Management Strategies of Retail Industry in Energy Consumption and the Whole Value-Chain of the Product - A Case Study of Auchan HoldingAbstract Scientific data are almost nonexistent regarding the health-protectiveness of most hazardous-waste-site remediation. Given this data-gap, recently the World Health Organization (WHO) urged scientists to develop methods of “cost-efficient health surveillance” of toxics’ cleanups, includin [...] 240 2201 |
Modeling CO2 and N2 Permeation through Mixed Matrix Membranes Containing Oxygenated Carbon Nanotubes Dispersed in PolysulfoneAbstract Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) consist of a polymeric phase and a dispersed solid filler such as zeolites or carbon nanotubes. We prepared symmetric and asymmetric polysulfone-based MMMs containing functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT-O) for CO2/N2 [...] 166 1541 |
Assessment of Factors Affecting the Use of Drones in Map ProductionAbstract Multi-rotor and fixed-wing drones are extensively used to collect the data needed for producing large-scale topographic maps and plans. Several types of drone products are available, and the most important one for surveyors is an orthophoto. Flight planning, the quality of the control da [...] 134 2181 |
Open Access Short Communication Visceral Leishmaniasis and Disposal of Solid Waste in Minas Gerais, Brazilby
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Abstract Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a vector-borne disease that is caused by the protozoan Leishmania infantum and transmitted to humans and other mammals through the bites of infected female sandflies. VL has been prevalent in Minas Gerais, Brazil, since the 1940s. As the vector com [...] 150 2211 |
Investigation of Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion of Concrete in Sanitary Sewer Pipes and Manholes: Field Surveys and Laboratory Assessmentby
![]() ![]() Abstract Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of concrete in sanitary sewer pipe and manholes is the result of dilute sulfuric acid (H2SO4) dissolving the cement matrix. The acid is produced by a complex series of chemical and biochemical reactions. The o [...] 310 2636 |
Meeting the Net Zero Emissions Challenge – Alphabet’s Carbon Management Actions and OpportunitiesAbstract The first step in managing an entity’s carbon emissions involves measurement as ‘what gets measured gets managed’ and measurement lies at the heart of carbon management. The study of carbon management is important to all stakeholders as it enables calculation of emissions that can help d [...] 190 2386 |
