Supercapacitor technology is an extremely timely area of research with fierce international competition to develop cost-effective, environmentally friendlier EC electrode materials that have real world application. Herein, nitrogen-doped carbons with large specific surface area, optimized micropore structure and surface chemistry have been prepared by means of an environmentally sound hydrother...

The purpose of this paper is to examine and compare the contributions environmental innovation public sector private sector, respectively, their determinants. We analyze development over time triadic patents, classified as technological innovations, for six major patenting countries from 1990 2014. This done using a factor decomposition analysis framework. at both country aggregate level, set s...

Nanoparticles (NPs) are playing an important role in addressing various environmental constraints by giving ingenious and successful resolutions. Heavy metal (HM) stress has gained significant importance the last few years because of its speedy incorporation into agricultural sectors. Due to exclusive physiochemical properties, NPs can be effectively applied for mitigation strategies. highly ef...

A brief history of the restructured electricity industry in eastern and southern Australia The Special Premiers’ Conference in July 1991 agreed to “establish a National Grid Management Council [NGMC] to encourage and coordinate the most efficient, economic and environmentally sound development of the electricity industry in eastern and southern Australia having regard for key national and State...

The efficacies of colicins E1 and N against Escherichia coli strains responsible for postweaning diarrhea and edema disease, two of the most prevalent disease problems for pigs in the United States, were determined in vitro. These proteins may provide an environmentally sound means for the prevention of these infections in swine.

The production of antifungal substances by bacteria has long been recognized and this knowledge is entering practical life through the use of bacterial antagonists to protect crops against their fungal enemies. Recently, it has become clear that in addition to diffusible substances, bacteria emit a wide range of volatile compounds into the atmosphere. Over the last ten years, evidence has accum...

A simple and efficient methodology for the nucleophilic aromatic substitution of nitrogen-containing fused heterocycles with interesting biological activities has been developed in an environmentally sound manner using polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) as the solvent, leading to the expected compounds in excellent yields in only five minutes.

• excavating and removing all contaminated soil and disposing of the soil in an environmentally sound manner; • covering the site with a blanket of uncontaminated soil and installing a runoff control and drainage system to limit the potential contamination of surface water or groundwater; • other in-situ treatment methods that involve complex physical and/or chemical neutralization or extractio...

This paper seeks to design food supply chain structures that can provide food security for every person in the world while supporting long-term environmental sustainability. In particular, we provide alternatives to the current food supply chain structure and analyze their potential for providing food security, in terms of productive capacity and long-term environmental sustainability. Given th...
