Abstract:

Sustainably managing vehicles at their end-of-life stage (ELVs) presents significant potential for resource recovery, effectively addressing resource scarcity through the closure of the material loop. While ELVs in countries like Morocco have traditionally been treated as waste rather than secondary resource material (SRM), they have the potential to reduce reliance on primary materials when used...

Abstract:

Global livestock production is a major driver of climate change. Lumping beef and pork together as red meat masks important differences in their carbon footprints, land uses, and social status. These two red meat choices in Canada were compared by using a meta-model of the Unified Livestock Industry and Crop Emissions Estimation System (ULICEES). ULICEES calculated fossil... More

Abstract:

In the context of climate change, countries in West Africa are faced with recurrent flooding with catastrophic consequences, that makes it imperative to have access to rainfall information on fine spatial and temporal scales for better monitoring and prediction of these phenomena, as could be provided by weather radars. Based on an extensive archive of... More

Abstract:

The study investigated the relationship between climatic variables and food security in households in the districts of Huancayo (Chongos Alto, Viques, Pucará, and Huancayo) during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with a sample of 272 households out of 36,453. Food security data were collected through questionnaires, and climatic variables (temperature, humidity,... More

Abstract:

Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) and three-dimensional excitation emission matrix fluorescence (3D-EEM) spectroscopies were conducted to investigate the structure and origin of dissolved organic matter (DOM) from soils around the Tuo river in Suzhou city in different season. The results showed that the characteristics of all samples, UV-Visible spectra were similar and the relative concentrations of DOM showed an overall increasing trend in the...

Abstract:

Pharmaceutical pollution is becoming an increasing threat to aquatic environments since inactive compounds do not break down, and the drug products are accumulated in living organisms. The ability of a drug to dissolve in water (i.e., LogS) is an important parameter for assessing a drug's environmental fate, biovailability, and toxicity. LogS is typically measured in... More

Abstract:

The rapidly growing seaweed farming contributes to food, feed, biofuel, and biochemicals, with Indonesia being the largest exporter of raw seaweed (53.35%) but low in carrageenan derivative products (4.49%). Sustainable farming supports SDG 13 and SDG 14 through emission reduction, marine ecosystem conservation, and increased biodiversity. However, its supply chain faces challenges in raw material... More
