The paper focuses on the role of simulation within the RSB GHG Tool, which is a web-based decision support tool that assesses greenhouse gas emissions of biofuels according to the principles of the Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels. Using a questionnaire, each operator can specify his individual data and calculate the GHG emission for his production step. To derive the environmental flows required...
This paper attempts to highlight shortcomings in the concept of sustainability and ways to make the concept more workable by presenting the development of an Environmental Management Information System (EMIS) as a combination of discrete event simulation and ecological material flow analysis for production processes. The motivation behind the focus on simulation techniques on one hand and on production...
We propose a methodology to generate realistic victim profiles for medical disaster simulations based on victims from the VictimBase library. We apply these profiles in a medical disaster model where victim entities evolve in parallel through a medical response model and a victim pathway model. These models interact in correspondence with the time triggers and intervention triggers from VictimBase...
The conventional detectors operated in the integrating mode are insensitive to the energy spectral information since the detector output is proportional to the energy fluence integrated over the whole spectrum. Recently, photon counting detectors have been considered to be an alternative device. These detectors are able to measure the x-ray photon energy deposited by each event and reduce the noise...
Researching for the multi-ribbed compound wall. Testing the thermal conductivity of materials. For thisMulti-Ribbed Wall, giving the Computational Method of the heat transfer coefficient. And getting the insulation thicknes which meet the requirements of the housing in cold rural areas.
An ideal memristor with single-valued odd-symmetric charge-flux nonlinearity is extensively proposed for chaos-based applications. However, according to our boundary condition-based memristor model, the nonlinearity of a memristor nano-structure is in general multi-valued with strong dependence on input and initial conditions. Nevertheless, provided the model is augmented with suitable boundary conditions,...
This article making models is based on the supply chain management and set in the distribution of earthquake relief supplies. During earthquake disaster relief, it is important to send earthquake relief materials to the disaster area in as short a time as possible which depend on the material dispatching method. With Solving the problem of allocate and transport relief materials, it should be considered...
Construction projects are the foundation of the economy development. It is of importance to evaluate ecological niche of construction projects according to the characteristics of existence state and sustainable development capabilities of construction projects. The paper defines the concept of ecological niche of construction projects based on the theory of ecostate and ecorole of ecological niche,...
Advancements in computational techniques have provided the ability to utilize detailed models in surgical training systems. The development of more complicated procedures coupled with reduced training time for medical residents has driven the need for accurate reality-based medical simulators. Extensive research has been conducted in the area of modeling general deformation of biological tissue; however...
The square is the urban hot spot, not only the residential public life important place, but also being the superintendent's management issue. This article tries to introduce the energy concept. Take the most characteristic “Ximending” square of Taipei as the example. After photographing the pedestrian path, establishes the compression percentage, presents the carrying capacity by the immediate vision...
There are many reports about pre-deformation on microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy, but none about the CoCr alloy. This research proposed solutions to the compression and expansion test of the stents, and established an accurate test method to assess the mechanical properties of products, analyzed the pre-deformation on it and summarized the stress-strain characteristics of the...
The counterfeit and fake products have been rampant increasingly. It has not only affected the quality of people's lives and the stability of our society, but also hampers the development of our country's economy. How to deal with this phenomenon has became a concerning problem in the process of economic mechanism switch. This article has presented a discussion among kind of communities in market...
In the twenty-first century, with the continued environmental awareness and corporate social responsibility extended, it will be the inevitable choice for the industrial enterprises to take systematic development view and implement coordinated and balanced development of the economic — social — ecological aspects. Being both a process of the material metabolism and a social organization, industrial...
Based on ecological footprint and material flow analysis indicators, a model has been developed to reflect the aggregate environmental pressure and the carrying capacity of a regional economy. The model was applied to calculate the environmental pressure and carrying capacity of Shenyang in the period of 1991–2005. Results show that, of the total ecological footprint of Shenyang, 66%–80% came from...
In order to evaluate and select material of the ring-plate indexing mechanism, the analytic hierarchy process(AHP) is adopted to establish appraisal structure model, set up judge matrix and calculate AHP ordering of every part of mechanism. In the end the best option is gained.
An important question is how to determine if a person is exhibiting suicidal tendencies in behavior, speech, or writing. This paper demonstrates a method of analyzing written material to determine whether or not a person is suicidal. The method involves an analysis of word frequencies that are used in a fuzzy cognitive map. The fuzzy cognitive map determines if there are suicidal tendencies. The method...
By the ways and theory on agriculture ece-economic system, in the paper, Gonglian village agriculture ece-economic systems of Hengnan county in 2002 and 2004 were selected as examples, author counted the agricultural material input and output taking N, P, K as the index to meas ure the material flows in agriculture ece-economic system, and toke analysis on function into the degree of material devotion,...
Somatic embryos were induced from cotyledon explants cultured on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg·L−1 2,4-D. Morphological and protein changes were performed aiming at the developmental process of somatic embryogenesis of E. sativa. The observation revealed that the embryos pass through the characteristic globular, heart, torpedo, and cotyledon stages. The developmental process of the somatic embryo...
Water quality criteria and standard are derived mainly from acute toxicity data of chemicals, and acute toxicity data of chemicals are generally obtained from laboratory experiment. The nature water and experiment dilution water are different. The suspended articulate, humic acid and other factors in nature waters can change the concentrations of chemicals. In this paper, acute toxicity differences...
In recent years, the constant promotion of the urbanization resulted in one special type of land, i.e. urban wasteland. The rebuilding of landscape architecture in it can not only provide good public space for citizens' recreation but also witness the perfect image and historic development of the city. Most importantly, the ecological balance of wasteland can be restored. This paper analyses the causes...
