One of the most appropriate electricity production systems is solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), which are important because they are highly efficient, flexible to fuel, and have fewer environmental degradation effects. A new optimum technique has been provided for providing well-organized unknown parameters identification of the solid oxide fuel cell system. The main idea is to achieve the l...... hiện toàn bộ
Spatiotemporal Patterns of Ozone and Cardiovascular and Respiratory Disease Mortalities Due to Ozone in ShenzhenSustainability - Tập 9 Số 4 - Trang 559
Li Wang, Yu Bai, Fengying Zhang, Sheng Wang, Xiaojian Liu, Thomas Krafft
In order to explore the temporal-spatial patterns and possible health effects of ozone in Shenzhen, daily concentrations of ozone and the daily mortality caused by cardiovascular and respiratory diseases were collected. Using Geographic Information System (GIS) and SPSS, the spatial and temporal patterns of ozone in Shenzhen were illustrated. Using a generalized additive model (GAM), the a...... hiện toàn bộ
The Status, Obstacles and Policy Recommendations of Shale Gas Development in ChinaSustainability - Tập 7 Số 3 - Trang 2353-2372
Guanglin Pi, Xiucheng Dong, Cong Dong, Jie Guo, Zhengwei Ma
The Chinese government has introduced numerous policies and development plans to boost its shale gas industry in recent years. However, China’s shale gas exploration and development is still in the initial stage and has been confronted with many challenges. This paper systematically analyzes the current status of China’s shale gas industry from five aspects for the first time—resource situ...... hiện toàn bộ
More Than a Potential Hazard—Approaching Risks from a Social-Ecological PerspectiveSustainability - Tập 9 Số 7 - Trang 1039
Carolin Völker, Johanna Kramm, Heide Kerber, Engelbert Schramm, Martina Winker, Martín Zimmermann
Risks have been classically understood as a probability of damage or a potential hazard resulting in appropriate management strategies. However, research on environmental issues such as pollutants in the aquatic environment or the impacts of climate change have shown that classical management approaches do not sufficiently cover these interactions between society and nature. There have bee...... hiện toàn bộ
Exploring the Determinants of Hot Spring Tourism Customer Satisfaction: Causal Relationships Analysis Using ISMSustainability - Tập 11 Số 9 - Trang 2613
Chuanmin Mi, Yetian Chen, Chiung-Shu Cheng, Joselyne Lucky Uwanyirigira, Ching‐Torng Lin
To stand out in the hot spring tourism industry, customer satisfaction has become the crucial issue for competitiveness. A company cannot implement several customer satisfaction improvement practices altogether with limited resources. Researchers advocate that companies should evaluate the relationships among success factors and explore determinants for their improvement implementation. Ho...... hiện toàn bộ
Impact of Climate Change on Wine Tourism: An Approach through Social Media DataSustainability - Tập 13 Số 13 - Trang 7489
Veronica Alampi Sottini, Elena Barbierato, Iacopo Bernetti, Irene Capecchi
Wine tourism is one of the best opportunities for rural development, but because it is partially exposed to climatic conditions, it is a climate-vulnerable tourism activity. However, an understanding of the potential impacts of global climate change on this popular activity remains limited. This study proposes a new methodology that combines current daily gridded climate data from the E-OB...... hiện toàn bộ
Use of Incineration MSW Ash: A ReviewSustainability - Tập 2 Số 7 - Trang 1943-1968
Charles Hoi King Lam, A.W.M. Ip, J. P. Barford, Gordon McKay
This study reviews the characteristics of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) ashes, with a main focus on the chemical properties of the ashes. Furthermore, the possible treatment methods for the utilization of ash, namely, separation processes, solidification/stabilization and thermal processes, are also discussed. Seven types of MSWI ash utilization are reviewed, namely, cement and...... hiện toàn bộ
