Study on Dynamic Total Factor Carbon Emission Efficiency in China’s Urban AgglomerationsSustainability - Tập 12 Số 7 - Trang 2675
Fan Zhang, Gui Jin, Junlong Li, Chao Wang, Ning Xu
The scale effect of urbanization on improving carbon emission efficiency and
achieving low-carbon targets is an important topic in urban research. Using
dynamic panel data from 64 prefecture-level cities in four typical urban
agglomerations in China from 2006 to 2016, this paper constructed a stochastic
frontier analysis model to empirically measure the city-level total-factor
carbon emission effi... hiện toàn bộ
Adaptation to and Recovery from Global CatastropheSustainability - Tập 5 Số 4 - Trang 1461-1479
Timothy M. Maher, Seth D. Baum
Global catastrophes, such as nuclear war, pandemics and ecological collapse
threaten the sustainability of human civilization. To date, most work on global
catastrophes has focused on preventing the catastrophes, neglecting what happens
to any catastrophe survivors. To address this gap in the literature, this paper
discusses adaptation to and recovery from global catastrophe. The paper begins
by d... hiện toàn bộ
Considering Emission Treatment for Energy-Efficiency Improvement and Air Pollution Reduction in China’s Industrial SectorSustainability - Tập 10 Số 11 - Trang 4329
Xiangyu Teng, Liang Chun Lu, Yung‐ho Chiu
China has one of the most serious air quality conditions in the world, with the
main energy consumption and air pollution emissions coming from its industrial
sector. Since 2010, the Chinese government has strengthened the governance
requirements for industrial sector emissions. This study uses emission treatment
as a new input on the basis of past literature, and employs the dynamic SBM
model to ... hiện toàn bộ
Evaluating Land Use and Land Cover Change in the Gaborone Dam Catchment, Botswana, from 1984–2015 Using GIS and Remote SensingSustainability - Tập 11 Số 19 - Trang 5174
Botlhe Matlhodi, Piet Kenabatho, B.P. Parida, G. Joyce
Land use land cover (LULC) change is one of the major driving forces of global
environmental change in many developing countries. In this study, LULC changes
were evaluated in the Gaborone dam catchment in Botswana between 1984 and 2015.
The catchment is a major source of water supply to Gaborone city and its
surrounding areas. The study employed Remote Sensing and Geographical
Information System ... hiện toàn bộ
A Concise Review on Interlayer Bond Strength in 3D Concrete PrintingSustainability - Tập 13 Số 13 - Trang 7137
Adewumi John Babafemi, John Temitope Kolawole, Md Jihad Miah, Suvash Chandra Paul, Biranchi Panda
Interlayer bond strength is one of the key aspects of 3D concrete printing. It
is a well-established fact that, similar to other 3D printing process material
designs, process parameters and printing environment can significantly affect
the bond strength between layers of 3D printed concrete. The first section of
this review paper highlights the importance of bond strength, which can affect
the mec... hiện toàn bộ
Developed Design of Battle Royale Optimizer for the Optimum Identification of Solid Oxide Fuel CellSustainability - Tập 14 Số 16 - Trang 9882
Keyvan Karamnejadi Azar, Armin Kakouee, Morteza Mollajafari, Ali Majdi, Noradin Ghadimi, Mojtaba Ghadamyari
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 lowest am... 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

Understanding Pro-Environmental Behavior of Citizen Science: An Exploratory Study of the Bird Survey in Taoyuan’s Farm Ponds ProjectSustainability - Tập 13 Số 9 - Trang 5126
Shan-Hui Chao, Jin-Zhang Jiang, Kuan-Chu Wei, Eric Ng, Chia‐Hsuan Hsu, Yi-Te Chiang, Wei‐Ta Fang
This exploratory study aims to fill the gap by adopting Hirose’s two-phase
decision-making model with the theory of social networks to explore the
environmentally friendly attitudes and environmental behavioral intentions
toward pro-environmental behaviors of the citizen scientists who participated in
the Bird Survey in Taoyuan’s Farm Ponds Project. The Bird Survey in Taoyuan’s
Farm Ponds Project ... hiện toàn bộ
