Due to the significant increase in IT-related power consumption and the resulting higher CO2 emissions, Green IT has gained considerable attention in industry and society in recent years. Green IT as an engineering paradigm defines the multi-faceted, global effort to reduce power consumption and the promotion of environmental sustainability. This encompasses the manufacturing and purchasing of ...

At present, a major concern regarding data centers is their extremely high energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. However, because of the over-provisioning of resources, the utilization of existing data centers is, in fact, remarkably low, leading to considerable energy waste. Therefore, over the past few years, many research efforts have been devoted to increasing efficiency for the ...

Epidemiological studies have demonstrated inconsistent associations between tea consumption and mortality of all cancers, CVD and all causes. To obtain quantitative overall estimates, we conducted a dose-response meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies. A literature search in PubMed and Embase up to April 2015 was conducted for all relevant papers published. Random-effects models were used ...

Although green products have been widely recognized as being environmentally-friendly, actual consumer adoption, purchases and consumption of green products have been disappointing. Instead, consumption of products which is causing harmful impacts on the environment is gaining further momentum. Such a phenomenon is detrimental to environmental sustainability and therefore requires immediate att...

The development of technology and industry in both developed developing countries contributes to improve human life for the better. However, it causes an increase energy consumption environmental damage which produces global warming. In Asia, according data ASEAN Center Energy (ACE), 48% warming is generated by buildings. This phenomenon very influential if occurs big cities. One ways respond t...

Despite positive aspects of energy consumption, their negative externalities i.e., environmental pollutions, are considerable. Green taxes, paid for products and services that are not environmentally friendly, are recommended as an efficient way of improving health indices. Since, Iran is among the countries with high per capita consumption of energy, pollution can be a kind of threat. In this ...

Energy is an important denominator for evaluating the development of any country. consumption, energy production and steps towards obtaining green are factors sustainable development. With advent forecasting technologies, these can be accessed earlier, planning path chalked out. Forecasting technologies pertaining to grey systems in spotlight due fact that they do not require many data points. ...

the purpose of this paper is to investigate causality relationship between emission of carbon dioxide, the level of national income and energy consumption in iran consumption of fuel fossil as an input of production or as a final consumption which produces significant amount of pollution such as green house gases in the world. c02 emission is the most important green – house gases which has the...
