since the last decades, hydroponic fodder production systems have been experienced in some parts of the world. during the germination process, the growth of embryo results in the rupture of the seed coat and emergence of a young plant which it reaches to about 20cm height in a week. apparently, the concept of putting one kilogram of seeds into a hydroponic system to obtaine several kilograms of...

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 ...

In response to the dominance of green capitalist discourses in Canada's environmental movement, in this paper, we argue that strategies to improve energy policy must also provide mechanisms to address social conflicts and social disparities. Environmental justice is proposed as an alternative to mainstream environmentalism, one that seeks to address systemic social and spatial exclusion encount...

The growing awareness towards energy efficient cellular networks has paved way for new technologies in designing green cellular networks. According to technical analysts, the base stations are the most energy intensive part of a typical cellular network. Saving power in base stations is therefore the primary focus in green cellular networks. The main goal of designing green base stations is for...

The objective of the GreenPAD project is to use green energy to power data-centers. As a part of this it is important to predict the Wind energy for efficient scheduling (executing jobs that require higher energy when there is more green energy available and vice-versa). For predicting the wind energy we first analyze the historical data to find a statistical model that gives relation between w...

The most challenging field of concern these days is energy conservation in various applications. Energy crisis led a way to green computing and green computing needs an efficient redesign of algorithms and mechanisms to meet the desired energy efficiency. Green IT is a study and practice which can reduce energy consumption significantly. In this paper various efficient energy saving Green IT me...

Energy efficient routing protocols can potentially reduce the amount of energy consumed in packet forwarding. However, existing literature lacks studies on improving green performance of geocast routings for the Internet of Vehicles. Therefore, this study proposes an energy efficient min delay (EEMD)-based geocast routing protocol to find optimal relay nodes by incorporating energy consumption ...

This paper describes in details a commercial green building that has been designed and constructed in Marsa Matrouh, Egypt. The balance between homebuilding and the sustainable environment has been taken into consideration in the design and construction of this building. The building consists of one floor with 3 m height and 2810 m2 area while the envelope area is 1400 m2. The building construc...
