Le batillage résulte du déferlement des vagues générées par le passage d’une embarcation. Les effets qui en résultent sur le milieu aquatique sont l’érosion des berges et la destruction des habitats. Sur le canton de Genève, une grande partie des déchets m ...
Phosphorus (P) is an essential, finite resource whose geological, economic, and geopolitical accessibility may become critical in the future. Because P losses from agriculture, sewage and waste have serious environmental impacts such as eutrophication, it ...
Construction and demolition (C&D) waste, being already the largest waste fraction in industrialized coun- tries, is expected to increase in the future. C&D waste recycling has been considered to be a valuable option not only for minimizing C&D waste stream ...
The quantities of e-waste are expected to increase sharply in Chile. The purpose of this paper is to provide a quantitative data basis on generated e-waste quantities. A material flow analysis was carried out assessing the generation of e-waste from comput ...
More than 100 million tonnes of municipal solid waste are incinerated worldwide every year1. However, little is known about the fate of nanomaterials during incineration, even though the presence of engineered nanoparticles in waste is expected to grow2. H ...
If nanotechnology proves to be successful for bulk applications, large quantities of nanocomposites are likely to end up in municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) plants. Various studies indicate that nanoobjects might be harmful to human health and the ...
Efficient utilization of available resources for a particular machine tool technology is an important aspect of sustainable manufacturing. The objective of this paper is to present a method for efficient resource process planning for a Wire EDM Machine Too ...
Industrial symbiosis describes the mutualistic interaction of dif- ferent industries for beneficial reuse of waste flows or energy cascading that results in a more resource-efficient production system and fewer adverse environmental impacts. Research shows ...
Many parallel applications exhibit unpredictable communication between threads, leading to contention for shared objects. The choice of contention management strategy impacts strongly the performance and scalability of these applications: spinning provides ...
The landfill of Colliare is situated on the left bank of the river « la Venoge », at the place of a former gravel pit in the municipality of Penthaz. It was exploited until 1995 and many different wastes were deposited in it, such as incineration slag of h ...
