Rising landfill costs have forced solid waste managers to consider waste streamreduction alternativessuch as household recycling. Explaining the factors which motivate households to recycle is important to regions where households must bear a large portion of the recycling cost because unit-based garbage disposal fees and curbside recycling are not feasible options. Empirical results indicate t...

This paper outlines current research on the performance of recycling processes and systems. Several aspects of performance are explored, including the separation performance and energy use of recycling processes. Descriptive terminology for separation performance is presented. The goal of this project is to develop a basic understanding of the factors affecting the separation and energy perform...

Recycling economy is a kind of economy that melts clean production and the comprehensive utilization of waste. Its nature is a kind of ecological economy. Ecological economy is a kind of economy of sustainable development. It emphasizes the co-adaptation and mutual promoting and coordination of recycling economy and ecological economy. By analyzing the difference and relation of recycling econo...

New charge-recycling structure and driving scheme for TFT-LCD source-driver IC application are proposed. The number of additional switches for the charge recycling is greatly reduced. An experimental prototype 6-bit source driver with five-level sevenphase charge recycling implemented in a 0.35-μm CMOS technology demonstrates that the quiescent current is only 3.1 mA, dynamic power saving is 75...

Introduction This fact sheet is part of a series highlighting different recyclable commodities. According to www.dictionary.com, a commodity is as “an article of trade or commerce; something of use, advantage, or value; any unprocessed or partially processed good.” When a product is recycled, the original commodity material becomes new products. The recyclable commodity fact sheet series is des...

Endocytosed cell surface membrane proteins rely on recycling pathways for their return to the plasma membrane. Although endosome-to-plasma membrane recycling is critical for many cellular processes, much of the required machinery is unknown. We discovered that yeast has a recycling route from endosomes to the cell surface that functions efficiently after inactivation of the sec7-1 allele of Sec...

In this paper, we present the JUCSE system, designed for the TempEval-3 shared task. The system extracts events and temporal information from natural text in English. We have participated in all the tasks of TempEval-3, namely Task A, Task B & Task C. We have primarily utilized the Conditional Random Field (CRF) based machine learning technique, for all the above tasks. Our system seems to perf...

There is an extensive literature on task modelling related to the design of computer systems. Task analysis and task modelling have been widely recognized as central components in human-centred approaches. The aim of this paper is to report on some results of a worldwide survey about actual practices of task descriptions languages (TDL) in SIGCHI community. Results suggest that academic TDL are...

Nutrient cycling is a ubiquitous feature of ecosystems at all scales, allowing productivity to rise beyond the limits set by external nutrient inputs. Nutrient cycling occurs as a side-effect of the metabolism of a diverse set of species that each performs a step in the recycling loop. Recycling loops can be large and involve many steps. At each step the possibility exists for ‘side-reactions’ ...
