COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE OWN EXPERIMENTAL TECHNIQUES OF PRODUCING THE FOAMED GLASS-CERAMIC by LUCIAN PĂUNESCU, MARIUS FLORIN DRĂGOESCU, SORIN MIRCEA AXINTE

“…The originality of the experiments consists in the use of electricity or microwave energy, unlike all techniques known worldwide consumers of fossil fuel. The product, obtained with low energy consumptions and very low pollutants emissions, has physical and mechanical characteristics of an insulating material, i.e. high porosity, low thermal conductivity and an adequate compressive strength. …”

Carbon Sequestration and Storage by Gainesville’s Urban Forest by Francisco Escobedo, Jennifer A. Seitz, Wayne Zipperer

“…In addition, decomposing trees and mulch, tree maintenance activities, and improperly placed trees that cause shading in winter can also result in emissions of CO2, so it is important for communities to reduce fossil fuel emissions and manage for and preserve large, healthy trees to maximize the amount of CO2 sequestered by an urban forest. …”

Colonial and Postcolonial Logistics by Giulia Scotto

“…In particular, it focuses on Zambia (Northern Rhodesia at time of British domination), a landlocked country located in the centre of Southern Africa, whose historical evolution, since it was conquered at the beginning of the twentieth century, is deeply intertwined with the discovery, extraction and export of copper and with the import of fossil fuel. In the first part, I introduce the concept of ‘colonial logistics’ intended as the modification and rationalisation of territories for military and political domination, and extraction and export of resources. …”
