Eco-industrial development projects are increasingly popular because of their ability to transform the traditional model of industrial parks into more sustainable forms of economic development. Still, few industrial parks worldwide have achieved the high degree of eco-transformation that characterizes eco-industrial parks (EIPs). Assessing the potential for eco-industrial development at the par...

Many environmental factors have been shown to adversely influence birth weight, and new insight has been gained into 'seasonal programming'. We studied a total of 23,064 infants. The mean birth weight varied across seasons. Logistic regression analysis was used to obtain the crude and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for dichotomous outcomes (e.g., macrosomia, low birth weight). There were significan...

The EIP definition proposed by the Indigo Development Team in 1993 has been widely accepted, which is “An eco-industrial park or estate is a community of manufacturing and service businesses located together on a common property” (Lowe, 2001). Cote & Hall (1995) suggested that an eco-industrial park, an industrial system could conserve natural and economic resources, reduce costs and debts incu...

Grey theory is an effective method to solve uncertainty problems with discrete data and incomplete information. This paper proposes an improved grey GM (1, 1) model, using a technique that combines residual modification with Markov chain model. Proposed Grey-Markov model, applied as a case study to annual output of Taiwan Hsinchu Industries Science Park, could clearly improve forecast accuracy ...

The widespread use of biogas and biomass fuels in facility agro-industrial parks has led to a significant increase their carbon emissions. A day-ahead optimal scheduling model for an integrated energy system (IES) is proposed, that considers the coupling power gas (P2G) reduce emissions during operation industrial park. proposed incorporates two evaluation indices economy by IES park, formulate...
