“…Air pollution with particulates, soot, carbon, aerosols, heavy metals, and so on is causing adverse effects on human health as well as the environment. …”

“…Artificial intelligence models require large quantities of specialized hardware, data, and energy to be trained and run, all of which produce carbon emissions and e-waste. These large hidden environmental costs require solutions that can harness AI’s potential while mitigating its climate impact. …”

“…Mechanical fasteners, so-called insert, offer the opportunity to allow for an inexpensive, detachable connection of thin-walled carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) parts to metal- or other plastic-based structures in the context of multi-material design. …”

“…As such, public procurement can offer a powerful tool for cities to boost local growth and advance their strategic priorities, ranging from innovation and inclusion to the transition to a low-carbon economy…”

“…Out of a commitment to reducing carbon dioxide emissions, Ireland’s Department of Education and Science has designed and constructed two low energy schools, in Tullamore, County Offaly, and Raheen, County Laois. …”

“…The authors present recent examples of UK school buildings that reduce carbon emissions and capitalise on renewable energy sources, and predict how schools will respond to energy needs in the future…”

“…This book covers alternative insect control strategies, such as the allelopathy phenomenon, tactics in integrated pest management of opportunistic generalist insect species, biological control of root pathogens, insect pest control by polyculture strategy, application of several integrated pest management programs, irrigation tactics and soil physical processes, and carbon stocks to manage weeds…”

“…This reprint is a collection of studies on antimicrobial nanodrugs; it includes four review papers on anti-biofilm therapy, carbon dot-based antimicrobial materials, and supramolecular assemblies for combating antibiotic resistance, as well as six research papers on antibiotic-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles, mesostructured spherical nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles, perfluorocarbon nanoemulsion, nano-polyoxometalates, and gold nanoprisms…”

“…Written by experts in the field, chapters cover such topics as green synthesis of nanofibers, electrospinning of carbon nanofibers, applications of ceramic nanofibers, transparent electrodes for flexible and stretchable electronics, nanoribbons, and much more…”
