Impact of household transitions on domestic energy consumption and its applicability to urban energy

Benachir MEDJDOUB, Moulay Larbi CHALAL

Frontiers of Engineering Management 2017, Volume 4, Issue 2, Pages 171-183 doi: 10.15302/J-FEM-2017029

Abstract: The household sector consumes roughly 30% of Earth’s energy resources and emits approximately 17% oftransitions on household energy consumption patterns.This helped in predicting future transition patterns for different household types for the next 10 toFurthermore, it enabled us to study the relationship between the predicted patterns and the householdThe findings indicate that the life cycle transitions of a household significantly influence its domestic

ENABLING CROP DIVERSIFICATION TO SUPPORT TRANSITIONS TOWARD MORE SUSTAINABLE EUROPEAN AGRIFOOD SYSTEMS

Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering 2021, Volume 8, Issue 3, Pages 474-480 doi: 10.15302/J-FASE-2021406

Abstract:

European cropping systems are often characterized by short rotations or even monocropping, leading to environmental issues such as soil degradation, water eutrophication, and air pollution including greenhouse gas emissions, that contribute to climate change and biodiversity loss. The use of diversification practices (i.e., intercropping, multiple cropping including cover cropping and rotation extension), may help enhance agrobiodiversity and deliver ecosystem services while developing new value chains. Despite its benefits, crop diversification is hindered by various technical, organizational, and institutional barriers along value chains (input industries, farms, trading and processing industries, retailers, and consumers) and within sociotechnical systems (policy, research, education, regulation and advisory). Six EU-funded research projects have joined forces to boost crop diversification by creating the European Crop Diversification Cluster (CDC). This Cluster aggregates research, innovation, commercial and citizen-focused partnerships to identify and remove barriers across the agrifood system and thus enables the uptake of diversification measures by all European value-chain stakeholders. The CDC will produce a typology of barriers, develop tools to accompany actors in their transition, harmonize the use of multicriteria assessment indicators, prepare policy recommendations and pave the way for a long-term network on crop diversification.

Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering 2014, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 79-88 doi: 10.1007/s11783-013-0516-1

Abstract: To understand the household CO emission level in China, as well as how much the neighborhoods’ socio-economicThe household CO emission includes sources of both in-home energy use and passenger transportation.The average CO emission per household is 7.66 t·a , including 6.87 t in-home operational emission andThe household CO emission by neighborhood categories is 10.97, 5.65, 6.49, 5.40 t·household ·a forHow to avoid the rapid household CO emission growth in the future would be a systematic issue.

Single-Molecule Methods for Characterizing Different DNA Higher-Order Structures Review

Yonglin Liu, Tianyuan Bian, Yan Liu, Zhimin Li, Yufeng Pei, Jie Song

Engineering 2023, Volume 24, Issue 5, Pages 277-292 doi: 10.1016/j.eng.2022.10.009

Abstract:

DNA is considered to be not only a carrier of the genetic information of life but also a highly programmable and self-assembled nanomaterial. Different DNA structures are related to their biological and chemical functions. Hence, understanding the physical and chemical properties of various DNA structures is of great importance in biology and nanochemistry. However, the bulk assay ignores the heterogeneity of DNA structures in solution. Single-molecule methods are powerful tools for observing the behavior of individual molecules and probing the high heterogeneity of free energy states. In this review, we introduce single-molecule methods, including single-molecule detection and manipulation methods, and discuss how these methods can be conducive to measuring the molecular properties of single-/double-stranded DNA (ss/dsDNA), DNA higher-order structures, and DNA nanostructures. We conclude by providing a new perspective on the combination of DNA nanotechnology and single-molecule methods to understand the biophysical properties of DNA and other bio-matter and soft matter.
