Product remanufacturing develops rapidly in recent decades due to intensified environmental legislations and economic concerns. Through remanufacturing, products/components that would otherwise head to land-fill or incineration will instead go through a set of value and material recapturing processes, including distribution, inspection, disassembly, cleaning, testing, repair, reassembly, redistribution, and remarketing or recycling. Remanufacturing allows for reusable components and recoverab...
This paper discusses two approaches of planning processes - 'Transactive Planning Process' and 'Incremental Planning Process' in resolving environmental planning issues. This is achieved by evaluating two case studies. The Don River watershed regeneration project case study and The Hillsborough County Solid Waste Site Selection Controversy project have been chosen such that they can clearly illustrate the differences in the planning processes of the two paradigms. The former case study uses t...
India stands on the verge of achieving its dream of being a world power today as her economy races ahead seemingly unstoppable. Though we have been able to achieve food security to feed our burgeoning population, the hunger of our economy is yet to be satiated. A growing economy demands energy & an uninterrupted supply of energy. Today in this world of competing economies, the conflict of securing means of energy within the rising economy of the world has the potential of being the spark need...
Red tide is a phenomenon that affects the water by coloring it red and cause a death of a marine organisms because of increasing the CO2 in the water. So, in this paper we will discuss the problem of red tide and how much it affects the marines and human life. Also, we will look at some possible ways in how we can reduce the effects. Then, we will focus on the red tide phenomena when it appears in UAE coasts, and how the UAE government reacts on it. Introduction: There are many organisms whic...
For centuries Bhutanese people have preserved their resources and lived in balance with nature leading a good protection towards environment. The relationship between the Bhutanese people and the environment has been forged over centuries with in moral and ecological boundaries. Because of its unique setting and relatively un-exploited environment, Bhutan probably possesses the greatest biological diversity. Even though there are some major environmental issues still arising. Ignored to devel...
Plastics have become an integral part of our day-to-day lives. From our household to our workplaces, they are everywhere. Plastics persist for a long time (>50 years) and do huge damage to the environment making them absolutely unsustainable. Their accumulation in our environment has become a cause of concern all over the world. A major portion of the plastic products fail to reach recycling centers because most of such products are thrown away and they end up landing in landfills, ocean, ...
The world in the last decades has witnessed great advancements in many fields and disciplines. The favor goes first to the industrial revolution in the nineteenth century, and to the advancement in many aspects of technology such as telecommunication technology, transportation, mechanical and electrical. These advancements have created new inventions, and relatively increased the living standards for human been; however, those advancements have some negative impact on the environment. The env...
A dielectric is a nonconducting substance, i.e. an insulator. The term was coined by William Whewell in response to a request from Michael Faraday.Although dielectric and insulator are generally considered synonymous, the term dielectric is more often used to describe materials where the dielectric polarization is important, such as the insulating material between the metallic plates of a capacitor, while insulator is more often used when the material is being used to prevent a current flow a...
The purpose of this study is to measure the adverse effects of toxic gases on environment i.e the impact of carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion activities on economic activity in order to evaluate the economic costs of policies designed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, Impacts of integration of production of black and green energy, petroleum use (gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel, residual,propane), greenhouse gas emissions associated with economic activities and emissions f...
1.Introduction The Baltic Sea, located in North Europe, has a bit more than 100.000 km² and it receives discharges of a population around 70 million inhabitants with a high level of industrial development, because of 15% of world industry production is located in that area. Before 1960 their waters were so clean, but after that the sea has been changed and now it's one of the most polluted seas in the world. There are some natural factors that contribute to that the Baltic Sea is one of the ...
