A correction to Figure 2 is given below, with the x-axis description being added. Figure 2. (a) Cradle-to-grave climate footprint of biocidal T-shirts and a regular T-shirt (100 washings). Error bars show the upper bound of the 95% confidence interval for the results (Monte Carlo Analysis of the inventory, see also SI S8; commercialized = comm.). (b) Sensitivity analysis of the use phase. The p...

with the publication of the brundtland report carried the sustainability discussion into governments and businesses worldwide, much effort has gone into clarifying the meaning of the sustainability concept. to make the concept measurable and applied city sustainable idea, some new method was needed. so the method named ecological footprint has been presented.the ecological footprint method that...

To better understand the biology of extinct animals, experimentation with extant animals and innovative numerical approaches have grown in recent years. This research project uses principles of soil mechanics and a neoichnological field experiment with an African elephant to derive a novel concept for calculating the mass (i.e., the weight) of an animal from its footprints. We used the elephant...

Global change is becoming increasingly evident, and human activities are also causing severe damage to natural resources and the environment. Therefore, it is increasingly important to study regional sustainability in order to guide human decisions and actions. The ecological footprint is a useful indicator with which to quantify the pressures imposed by humans on natural resources and regional...

Several methods for regional environmental sustainability assessment have been proposed by the scientific community in the last few years, including two interesting resource-use based tools: Emergy Evaluation (Emergy) and Ecological Footprint Analysis (Footprint). Emergy Evaluation assesses all resources used, directly and indirectly, to support a region economy. Ecological Footprint Analysis e...

O the past two decades, a rapid expansion of footprintstyle indicators has been observed by academics, companies, governmental bodies, and nongovernmental organizations, particularly in the arena of environmental and sustainability discourses. Although footprints nowadays have reached worldwide popularity, a dedicated footprint research community is far from being established. The ambiguous rel...

T cell receptor (TCR) recognition of peptide-MHC (pMHC) is central to the cellular immune response. A large database of TCR-pMHC structures is needed to reveal general structural principles, such as whether the repertoire of TCR/MHC docking modes is dictated by a "recognition code" between conserved elements of the TCR and MHC genes. Although approximately 17 cocrystal structures of unique TCR-...
