Energy efficiency is an important aspect of green computing. In order to achieve green computing in service discovery protocols for MANETs, it is essential for researchers to investigate energy efficiency mechanisms able to prevent collisions and interferences, which both represent a waste of channel bandwidth and energy. In this paper, we propose a service discovery protocol that applies a dat...

Nowadays, several RFID systems are commercially available for numerous applications such as control assess, transportation, supply chain, etc. However, RFID tags and sensors association could provide a lot of new solutions in order to develop notably green projects such as more efficient energy production chain, best control waste, recycling, and other environmental challenges. Furthermore, the...

Shredded green wastes were composted in windrows, at the Harewood Whin landfill, near the city of York, in West Yorkshire, UK. Landfill leachate were added twice during the second and fourth week of the process in two piles. One pile was turned once every week for eight weeks and the other was turned twice, during the same period. Each time approximately, 2 m3 of leachate was added, into each p...

The role of automation in sustainable development is not in doubt. Computerization in particular has permeated every facet of human endeavour, enhancing the provision of information for decision-making that reduces cost of operation, promotes productivity and socioeconomic prosperity and cohesion. Hence, a new field called information and communication technology for development (ICT4D) has eme...

The aim of this study is to explain individuals’ engagement in sustainable waste management behaviors (SWMBs) based on the application of protection motivation theory (PMT). SWMBs include waste avoidance, green purchasing, reuse and recycle, and waste disposal behaviors. Considering the amount of solid waste generation per capita per day during the past 10 years, the statistical records from th...

Implementation of green management in sport complexes can ensure the continuous arrangement and assessment of activities from the environmental perspective and will end up in control and prevention of contaminants. Enghelab sport complex (ESC) in Iran is selected for this study due to its size and long-term activities. Due to the comprehensive plan of the aforesaid sports complex, numerous cent...

Fast urbanization and serpentine uses of electronic gadgets during the last two decades has led to genesis of a whopper character of electronic wastes resulting in soil, water and environmental pollutions. Thus pollution administer along with environmental safety has become the greatest worry of environmental scientists and activists worldwide. Dumping of electronic wastes, lone of the by-produ...

In the transition from a fossil to a bio-based economy, it has become an important challenge to maximally recuperate and recycle valuable nutrients coming from manure and digestate processing. Membrane filtration is a suitable technology to separate valuable nutrients in easily transportable concentrates which could potentially be re-used as green fertilizers, in the meantime producing high qua...

Green waste (leaves, grass and shredded twigs) was composted for 5.5 months in a wooden composting bioreactor, of 1 m capacity, using both passive convective aeration, facilitated by the design of the bioreactor, and manual turning. Temperature was measured daily, while samples were analysed for moisture content, volatile solids, pH value and electrical conductivity, all of which showed a typic...

A typical supply chain is a materials and information network composed by supplier, manufactures, logistics agencies, distribution center, warehouse, retailer and consumer. It involves all enterprises and departments throughout the whole product life-cycle from the material gaining, production to semi-finished products or finished products, assembly, transportation, consumption till disposal. S...
