Abstract:

L'analyse du cycle de vie (ACV) est une méthode très utilisée pour l'évaluation environnementale d'un système anthropique. Les spécialistes ont souligné l'absence de dimension temporelle comme une limitation. Les procédés de la technosphère sont dynamiques, ce qui conduirait à un inventaire de cycle de vie (ICV) dépendant du temps. Les mécanismes environnementaux impliqués dans la génération des impacts ont des caractéristiques dynamiques variées déterminant une manifestation temporelle spécifiques des impacts. Cependant, l’impact du cycle de vie (EICV) actuelles considère des modèles en condi

Abstract:

<p> Life cycle assessment (LCA) can aid in quantifying the environmental impacts of whole buildings by evaluating materials, construction, operation and end of life phases with the goal of identifying areas of potential improvement. Since buildings have long useful lifetimes, and the use phase can have large environmental impacts, variations within the use phase can sometimes be greater than the total impacts of other phases. Additionally, buildings are operated within changing industrial and environmental systems; the simultaneous evaluation of these dynamic systems is recognized as a need in

Abstract:

The production and consumption of information and communication technology (ICT) products and services continue to grow worldwide. This trend is accompanied by a corresponding increase in electricity use by ICT, as well as direct environmental impacts of the technology. Yet a more complicated picture of ICT’s effects is emerging. Positive indirect effects on environmental sustainability can be seen in substitution and optimization (enabling effects), and negative indirect effects can be seen in additional demand due to efficiency improvements (rebound effects).

Maintenance is an extremely important issue in the industry. Testimony to this fact is that European companies spend about 140 billion euro per year on maintenance activities.

However, the environmental and economic benefits of automation technologies first need to be assessed.

By limiting the analysis to comparing the differences between design alternatives and accepting lower result precision, the effort and level of expertise required is significantly reduced.

Abstract:

Environmental sustainability issues are being considered across many construction sectors, emerging from global concerns on resource depletion and CO2 emissions. Whilst construction sectors are minimising the environmental impact of their activities and the associated CO2 and GHG emissions, not many of these environmental issues are factored into the early design stage of bridges to facilitate design choices. Consequently, environmental impacts of bridge maintenance activities are not factored into the bridge design process. Doing so can potentially reveal the overall environmental performance

Abstract:

This work analyzes the saving and consumption behavior of agents faced with the possibility of unemployment in a dynamic and stochastic life cycle model. The intertemporal optimization is based on Dynamic Programming with a backward recursion algorithm. The implemented uncertainty is not based on income shocks as it is done in traditional life cycle models but uses Markov probabilities where the probability for the next employment status of the agent depends on the current status. The utility function used is a CRRA function (constant relative risk aversion), combined with a CES function

Therefore, economical analysis of an asset should be done by considering the whole life cycle.

Abstract:

La présente thèse entend examiner les interactions présentes et futures entre l'industrie sidérurgique européenne et son environnement, avec pour objectifs principaux, l’amélioration de la prise de décision et l'élaboration de politiques industrielles en matière de durabilité et de circularité. La thèse contribue à l’émergence de propositions contribuant à façonner l'avenir de l'acier dans l’Union Européenne. L'industrie sidérurgique européenne est utilisée ici comme un cas d’école, visant à explorer les avantages potentiels pour l’économie circulaire et l’écologie industrielle, d’une intégrat

Abstract The objective of this thesis is to demonstrate a design to profit procedure and its implementation in industrial case environment. The procedure is demonstrated as a way to improve profits in a global company. The essential elements of the procedure are product business case calculations and profit consciousness of employees. This study utilizes a combination of product life cycle analysis, advanced costing methods and multidimensional data processing for the product business case calculations. The combination is necessary for solving the research task. The need of proactive

Abstract:

Environmentally conscious construction has received a significant amount of research attention during the last decades. Even though construction literature is rich in studies that emphasize the importance of environmental impact during the construction phase, most of the previous studies failed to combine environmental analysis with other project performance criteria in construction. This is mainly because most of the studies have overlooked the multi-objective nature of construction projects. In order to achieve environmentally conscious construction, multi-objectives and their relationships

Abstract:

The recognition of nature in the resolution of societal challenges has been growing in relevance. This recognition has been associated with the development of new concepts from science and policy such as natural capital, ecosystem services, green infrastructure, and more recently Nature-Based Solutions (NBS). NBS intends to address societal challenges in an effective and adaptive form providing economic, social, and environmental benefits. The overall aim of this PhD thesis is to develop an environmental and economic assessment of NBS for highly urbanised territories based on rationales and mo

Abstract:

Ce travail de thèse s'est intéressé aux effets de l'uranium appauvri (U) sur le poisson zèbre, Danio rerio. L'hypothèse de travail majeure est que les effets de l'U peuvent se traduire par des modifications du métabolisme. Par conséquent nous avons caractérisé la performance physiologique par le biais de la théorie des bilans d'énergie dynamique (DEB) car c'est la seule théorie qui quantifie simultanément l'ingestion, l'assimilation, la croissance, la reproduction, la maturation, la maintenance et le vieillisse¬ment au cours du cycle de vie entier à des niveaux de nourriture variable.

Abstract:

Using the case study of a six-floor residential building with 4254 m2 living area and its supply chains, service life and disposal in the Swedish context, a conventional life cycle assessment focused on Global Warming Potential was carried out. The assessment is incomplete because sections B1-B5 were not taken into consideration. A Time Adjusted Warming Potential was also calculated from the conventional results to address the dynamics in the long service life of wooden and concrete buildings. The results are 358 kg CO2 eq/m2 and 175 kg CO2 eq/m2 for concrete and wood, respectively. Of the alt

L'objectif de ces travaux de thèse était de caractériser la toxicité de l'uranium sur le métabolisme du poisson zèbre, Danio rerio. Puisque les effets de l'uranium se traduisent par des modifications de la performance du métabolisme, la question suivante se pose: que savons-nous du métabolisme du poisson zèbre témoin? Très peu de chose. En effet, nos connaissances à ce sujet sont assez limitées en dépit d'un grand nombre de travaux sur le développement de ce poisson. C'est pourquoi les trois premiers chapitres de ce manuscrit sont dédiés à la caractérisation du métabolisme témoin du Danio. J'a

Abstract:

Le reti logistiche agroalimentari sono sistemi complessi composti da molteplici attori. La natura del prodotto fa sì che le filiere debbano essere particolarmente attente alle condizioni ambientali di umidità, temperatura, e al tempo che la merce impiega per raggiungere la tavola. L’obiettivo della tesi è la progettazione di una piattaforma decisionale in LAbVIEW per il controllo e l’analisi di filiere agroalimentari basata su un modello entità-relazione. La piattaforma è stata progettata seguendo i principi della programmazione ad oggetti ed ha una visione allargata, ponendo all'interno dei
