Progressive cities worldwide have demonstrated political leadership by initiating meaningful strategies and actions to tackle climate change. However, the lack of knowledge concerning embodied greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of cities has hampered effective mitigation. We analyse trans-boundary GHG emission transfers between five Australian cities and their trading partners, with embodied emissi...

in order to evaluate the effect of different crop management practices on corn (zea mays l.) net primary productivity (npp) and relative carbon allocation coefficients, a field experiment was conducted based on a completely randomized block design with four replications in the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran during two growing season 2008-2009 and 2009-2010. ...

The development of carbon nanotube transmitter and receiver circuits operating with radio frequency (RF) allows current wireless technologies to function at nano-scale environments. This vision also enables a very large set of new applications such as coordinated disease detection, drug delivery, and biological and chemical attack defense. Especially, coordinated nanoscale data acquisition is o...

Low carbon city is the direction of the development of city in the future. Firstly, this paper constructed the comprehensive evaluation index system of the low carbon economy city that including six primary indexes and 12 secondary indexes by summarizing the recent research of low-carbon connotation and low-carbon evaluation index. These indexes are low-carbon economy, low-carbon energy, low-ca...

In this study a pseudo comprehensive carbon footprint model for fossil fuel power plants is presented. Parameters which their effects are considered in this study include: plant type, fuel type, fuel transmission type, internal consumption of the plant, degradation, site ambient condition, transmission and distribution losses. Investigating internal consumption, degradation and site ambient con...
