1. URBAN PRUNING WASTE: CARBON FOOTPRINT ASSOCIATED WITH ENERGY GENERATION AND PROSPECTS FOR CLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISMS
RESUMO A sociedade moderna passa por uma transição progressiva em direção a comportamentos ambientais menos prejudiciais, para promover a sustentabilidade. Este estudo avaliou a pegada de carbono associada a três formas de descarte aos resíduos de poda urbana: aterro sanitário (destino habitual), geração de eletricidade e geração de calor. O estud

2. Carbon emissions associated with two types of foundations: CP-II Portland cement-based composite vs. geopolymer concrete
ABSTRACT The cement industry is the second-largest single industrial emitter in the world and therefore has an important role to play in reducing the intensity of its carbon emissions: participation of the sector is important to contribute to the goal of the Paris Climate Change Agreement to limit global warming. One of the strategies for reducing the carbon

3. Avaliação comparativa da pegada de carbono de margarina e manteiga produzidas no Sul do Brasil
RESUMO A avaliação de ciclo de vida (ACV) é uma técnica de estimativa de impactos ambientais, como emissão de gases de efeito estufa (CO2eq), para geração de produto ou realização de processo. O objetivo deste estudo foi estabelecer a pegada de carbono para a produção da margarina e da manteiga com uso das normas ISO e PAS aplicadas a uma empresa

4. INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT INDEX (IEFI): MODEL DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION
ABSTRACT: Freshwater is a valuable resource worldwide given the growing demand of the global population. This study aimed to develop and validate an integrated assessment model by means of environmental footprint indices (water, ecological, and carbon), which measure the environmental sustainability of heterogeneous communities, people, and countries. An env

5. Carbon footprint assessment for a local branded pure milk product: a lifecycle based approach
Abstract This paper provides a simplified life cycle based assessment for a local branded pure milk product, to measure its related carbon footprint, including production of raw milk, dairy processing, transportation of milk product and disposal of packaging waste. The results show that the total carbon footprint of the pure milk is 1120g CO2/L. The producti

6. A glimpse of the future in animal nutrition science. 1. Past and future challenges
ABSTRACT If the world population continues to increase exponentially, wealth and education inequalities might become more pronounced in the developing world. Thus, offering affordable, high-quality protein food to people will become more important and daunting than ever. Past and future challenges will increasingly demand quicker and more innovative and effi

7. Establishment of the carbon label mechanism of coal chemical products based oncarbon footprint
ABSTRACT After redefining the carbon footprint and carbon label, the paper analyzesthe significance of the carbon labels under the background of the low carbon economy development, and establishes the concept of model of the carbon labels mechanism to chemical products. At the same time, the paper quantitatively studies carbon label data sourceof three kinds

8. Compressive strength, microstructure and hydration products of hybrid alkaline cements
Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) is the dominant binder in the construction industry with a global production that currently reaches a total of 3 Gt per year. As a consequence, the cement industry's contribution to the total worldwide CO2 emissions is of about 7% of the total emissions. Publications on the field of alkali-activated binders (also termed geopoly

11. Effector-Mediated Interaction of CbbRI and CbbRII Regulators with Target Sequences in Rhodobacter capsulatus
In Rhodobacter capsulatus, genes encoding enzymes of the Calvin-Benson-Bassham reductive pentose phosphate pathway are located in the cbbI and cbbII operons. Each operon contains a divergently transcribed LysR-type transcriptional activator (CbbRI and CbbRII) that regulates the expression of its cognate cbb promoter in response to an as yet unidentified effe

12. Regulation of Sialic Acid Catabolism by the DNA Binding Protein NanR in Escherichia coli
All Escherichia coli strains so far examined possess a chromosomally encoded nanATEK-yhcH operon for the catabolism of sialic acids. These unique nine-carbon sugars are synthesized primarily by higher eukaryotes and can be used as carbon, nitrogen, and energy sources by a variety of microbial pathogens or commensals. The gene nanR, located immediately upstre
