Assisted colonization is a techno-fix.
In a recent Opinion article in Trends in Ecology & Evolution, Ricciardi and Simberloff [1] argue that species translocations are not a viable conservation strategy to deal with threats such as climate change, because conservation biologists lack sufficient understanding of the associated risks. We agree with the basic tenet of their argument that the attention and credibility given to such sche...
متن کاملEco-Efficient Cloud Resource Monitoring and Analysis
This paper presents an approach for monitoring cloud computing resources by using customized monitoring metrics. In addition, based on the monitoring results, this approach includes a data mining analysis for making assumptions regarding consumed power of infrastructure and virtual machines (VMs) aiming at a reduced carbon footprint.
متن کاملA Simulation and Techno-Economic Optimization-Based Methodology to Design Multi-Product Lignocellulosic Biorefineries
In this paper we present a novel methodology for joint optimization of process technologies, strategic capacity design and process operations. An iterative methodology is suggested to simulate and optimize nonlinear conversion processes and utilize process yields thus obtained to optimize the long term capacity design of process plants. This methodology is applied to a multiproduct biomass refi...
متن کاملTechno-economic analysis and climate change impacts of sugarcane biorefineries considering different time horizons
BACKGROUND Ethanol production from lignocellulosic feedstocks (also known as 2nd generation or 2G ethanol process) presents a great potential for reducing both ethanol production costs and climate change impacts since agricultural residues and dedicated energy crops are used as feedstock. This study aimed at the quantification of the economic and environmental impacts considering the current an...
متن کاملComparative techno-economic assessment and LCA of selected integrated sugarcane-based biorefineries.
This work addresses the economic and environmental performance of integrated biorefineries based on sugarcane juice and residues. Four multiproduct scenarios were considered; two from sugar mills and the others from ethanol distilleries. They are integrated biorefineries producing first (1G) and second (2G) generation ethanol, sugar, molasses (for animal feed) and electricity in the context of ...
