Abstract In general, for the last 150 years, linear economy dominates society. A model in which products are made from raw materials recovered environment, used, repaired, and finally disposed of landfills. The environmental impact gave rise to concept circular economy. This paper aims provide a literature overview that presents ways lighting can participate economy, define role effect specific...

Abstract Circular Economy (CE) is gaining traction among academics and stakeholders; however, there no unified framework on how to assess it. This paper proposes a that composed of two segments. The first segment includes circular processes based the value retention stages products systems different levels. second comprises impacts measuring goals CE concerning environmental performance, econom...

SUMMARY: Construction projects involve a large number of both direct stakeholders (clients, professional teams, contractors, etc.) and indirect stakeholders (local authorities, residents, workers, etc.). Current methods of communicating building design information can lead to several types of difficulties (e.g. incomplete understanding of the planned construction, functional inefficiencies, ina...

BACKGROUND Trans-splicing strategies for mRNA repair involve engineered transcripts designed to anneal target mRNAs in order to interfere with their natural splicing, giving rise to mRNA chimeras where endogenous mutated exons have been replaced by exogenous replacement sequences. A number of trans-splicing molecules have already been proposed for replacing either the 5' or the 3' part of trans...

Noisy labels damage the performance of deep networks. For robust learning, a prominent two-stage pipeline alternates between eliminating possible incorrect and semi-supervised training. However, discarding part noisy could result in loss information, especially when corruption has dependency on data, e.g., class-dependent or instance-dependent. Moreover, from training dynamics representative me...

Abstract Global resource consumption is steadily rising. One option for stopping this upward trend to reduce material in general. With economics built growth, not a practical path pursue. Another recently explored alternative the paradigm shift from linear economy circular economy. The most common concept among practitioners and academics comprises 6R's: Reuse, Repair, Refurbish, Remanufacture,...

Due to the recent restrictions of breeding distance, it has been difficult create new livestock industries or refurbish farms. However, farmers who try reduce odor need relax distance. Therefore, in this study, we carried out a survey on restriction distance according Local Government Ordinance and present situation reduction facilities used farmers. As result survey, recommendation enactment r...

Currently, considering the rising concern in climate change, there is a clear necessity for technologies that can prolong useful life of products through ability to repair, re-manufacture and refurbish. As such, additive manufacturing has been subject research due its design resource consumption capabilities. However, lack more detailed information regarding environmental performances, especial...

Using batteries after their first life in an Electric Vehicle (EV) represents opportunity to reduce the environmental impact and increase economic benefits before recycling battery. Many different second applications have been proposed, each with multiple criteria that be taken into consideration when deciding most suitable course of action. In this article, a battery assessment procedure is pr...

Two key benefits of building retention and adaptation, over demolition new build are identified in the academic literature as: conservation heritage, reductions embodied greenhouse gas emissions from construction materials. A four-year research project, including expert interviews, focus groups three detailed case studies, developed extensive data on how these considered decisions to demolish o...
