Abstract:

A simple computer model is described that takes a novel approach to the problem of accounting for perceptual coherence among successive pure tones of changing frequency by using simple physiological principles that operate at a peripheral, rather than a central level. The model is able to reproduce a number of streaming phenomena found in the literature using the same parameter values. These are: (1) the build-up of streaming over time; (2) the temporal coherence and fission boundaries of human listeners; (3) the ambiguous region; and (4) the trill threshold. In addition, the principle of exci

Abstract:

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is an attractive waste treatment process in which both pollution control and energy recovery can be achieved. Source-segregated domestic food waste (FW) has a high organic content on a dry weight basis and is rich in lipids and proteins, indicating the potential for a good biogas yield with high methane content. Process instability, however, has often been reported in food waste digesters, which was mainly manifested by the accumulation of volatile fatty acids (VFA) and reduction of specific methane production. Trace element (TE) supplementation has been proved to be a

Abstract:

Hong Kong is a densely populated area located in the south-eastern coast of China. The volume of food waste generated surges with the substantial economic and population growth. In Hong Kong, there are currently 3,584 tonnes of food waste produced daily which are mainly disposed at landfills. The existing landfills, however, are expected to be full in the coming 5 years. The food waste problem is therefore urgent and significant. As a response, the Policy Address 2014 puts forward a package of waste management measures and calls for the implementation of “reduction first” approach. This study

Abstract:

Waste is formed during extraction, processing, and use of natural resources, at the stage of manufacturing and the use of final products. Thus the amount of products for which manufacturing expends a lot of energy and human work, results in waste after a single use (for example, canning containers, aluminum containers, various kinds of packing materials, polymeric materials, paper and etc.). On one side, waste is the main pollutant (annually hundred million tons of wastes are formed); on the other side waste frequently represents valuable products, potentially suitable for processing and secon

When evaluating and comparing household waste collection systems, various aspects are relevant to consider, e.g. environmental objectives, technical function, operating cost, types of recycling materials collected separately, property-close collection or drop-off system, economic incentives, information strategies, residential structure, social codes, etc. Data describing the actual waste flow is the basic input to evaluating the function of source-sorting programs.

Through studying the intersections of sanitation and segregation in Brooklyn, New York in the post-WWII era, this thesis reveals a web of willful white negligence that constructed a narrative that supports continued environmental injustices towards black Americans. As a result of housing discrimination, the lack of sanitation, and the political and social climate of the 1950s, black neighborhoods in Brooklyn became dirtier with abandoned garbage. Institutional anti-black racism not only permitted and supported the degradation of black neighborhoods, but also created an association between blac

The collection of source segregated household food waste is becoming increasingly popular, because of its potential to divert biodegradable materials from landfill, increase recycling rates and provide a contaminant-free feedstock for anaerobic digestion. Various types of kerbside household food waste collection systems are operating in the UK and in Europe; however, studies on the energy consumption of integrating source separated food waste with collection of other waste fractions are very limited.

Construction waste is considered a major contributor of solid wastes in municipal landfills. As per the Canadian construction industry, construction, renovation, and demolition (CRD) wastes constitute 27% of total municipal wastes disposed to landfills. Many researchers have stated that 75% of wastes generated by construction industries have residual value. They can be even recycled, salvaged, and/or reused. In such circumstances, construction wastes have to go for recycling, which is as costly and environmentally harmful as going for new material. Sustainable and practical solutions then have

Anaerobic digestion of source segregated domestic food waste (SS-DFW) offers a sustainable management route for reclaiming potential energy in the form of a fuel gas, and nutrients which can be recycled back to land. However, the biochemical characteristics of SS-DFW can lead to free ammonia nitrogen (FAN) concentrations that are inhibitory to the digestion process causing unstable operation and in some cases complete process failure, particularly in thermophilic systems.

Energy is an important requirement for population growth, technological progress and urbanisation. Worldwide energy demand has been projected to increase by 5-fold by 2100.

As a result multiple approaches for generating alternative energy are being explored globally.

Este projeto de pesquisa apresenta a análise da geração de resíduos sólidos no Porto de Santos, no estado de São Paulo, considerando a relevância da questão ambiental, focada na correta destinação destes resíduos para preservação dos recursos naturais associados ao desenvolvimento sustentável, como forma de mitigar e também prevenir a propagação de eventuais danos causados. Para tanto, é apresentado um levantamento de dados e um diagnóstico do atual sistema de gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos no Porto de Santos, como ainda são analisadas as principais legislações vigentes relacionadas ao estu

Abstract:

The focus of this work is to investigate the dissolution of MW25, a non-radioactive simulant of UK high-level nuclear waste borosilicate glass, and to predict its performance in the near field of a geological repository. A single-pass flow-through (SPFT) experimental system was used to measure the forward dissolution rates of MW25. Experiments were conducted in two parts. Experiment Part 1 considers the dissolution of the waste glass in deionised water at 40 and 90 oC and circum-neutral pH. Experiment Part 2 considers the dissolution of the waste glass in simulant groundwaters, with similar co

Abstract:

The main goal of the thesis was to prevent the generation of waste, byusing the spent coffee grounds (SCG) and date stones (DSAC) forproduction of activated carbon adsorbent for water treatment. Thesubstances for water removal were selected from those presentingpotential risk to aquatic environment according to the NORMAN list ofemerging substances and belong to the group of pesticides:carbendazim, linuron and isoproturon. SCG and DSAC adsorbents, asan eco-friendly and low-cost materials, showed high potential for theremoval of selected emerging pesticides.<br>Основни циљ тезе био је смaњeњe с

Abstract:

In this thesis, we will address a real life waste collection problem; Stockholm’s waste collection system and inherent vehicle routing problem, VRP. To do this we will first delve into some mathematical theory of Combinatorial Optimization and Heuristics to understand the fundamentals of the problem. Following with some pragmatic approaches recommended by experts within the Smart Cities context. Finally, the most important part of the work is the creation of a model of the actual collection system and two optimized versions. After completing the model of the system, we compare the current situ

Abstract:

Il presente progetto di dottorato di ricerca ha l'obiettivo di valorizzare i sottoprodotti cerealicoli, attraverso lo sviluppo di processi estrattivi green e di ipotesi applicative nell'industria cosmetica. Per il presente progetto sono stati inizialmente selezionati i cereali con il massimo interesse applicativo: grano duro, riso e mais. Gli acidi fenolici sono stati estratti con estrazione assistita tramite ultrasuoni, idrolisi alcalina, idrolisi enzimatica e tecniche ibride per massimizzare le rese estrattive e minimizzare l'impatto ambientale rispetto ad altre tecniche convenzionali.
