Deterioration Models and Service Life Prediction of Vertical Assets of Urban Water Systems by M. Cabral, D. Loureiro, C. Amado, D. Covas

“…The results show that simple linear regression models of asset deterioration show a better predictive power than multiple regression models. Despite the higher data variability of multiple regression models, these models allow to include the random process of asset deterioration, through the calculation of the standard deviation. …”

Using ecological and life-history characteristics for projecting species' responses to climate change by Sven Pompe, Jan Hanspach, Franz W. Badeck, Stefan Klotz, Helge Bruelheide, Ingolf Kühn

“…First, we established relationships between modelled loss of occupied grid cells (‘range loss’, R²=0.29), or gain of currently unoccupied grid cells (‘range gain’, R²=0.30), for 195 plant species with distributional data under the A1FI climate change scenario up to 2080, and ecological and life history traits (life form, leaf persistence, ecological strategy, pollen vector, Ellenberg indicator values and characteristics derived from species’ ranges). …”

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the Production of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) in Colombia by Miguel A. Romero, Manuel A. Mayorga, Zully E. Gomez, Felipe Correa-Mahecha, Luz A. Suarez

“…Three types of residual biomass were selected via a multi-criteria analysis of energy indicators: Pinus Patula (PP), Empty Fruit Bunches of Palm Oil (EFBPO), and Used Cooking Oil (UCO), corresponding to the production routes of Alcohol to Jet (ATJ), gasification with Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FT), and Hydro-processed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA). Life cycle inventory (LCI) data were consolidated to quantify potential environmental impacts, identifying critical points in each route using the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) methodology. …”

Study of carbon-free radiation life support system in spring and autumn periods by V. I. Karagusov

“…The obtained experimental data are processed. In spring and autumn, it is more rational to replace radiation conditioning with ventilation, since at night the temperature difference between the radiation panel and the surrounding air is small.…”

Multiple criteria decision making with life cycle assessment for material selection of composites by A. S. Milani, C. Eskicioglu, K. Robles, K. Bujun, H. Hosseini-Nasab

“…Results suggest that simple MCDM models, including a signal-to-noise measure adapted to MCDM in the same case study, can be used to explore both trade-offs and design break-even points in large decision spaces as the decision maker’s perspective over environmental, material performance and cost attributes change during the design process. More advanced topics including the account of material data uncertainties are addressed.…”

Coping with stressful life disruptions due to long COVID: A qualitative study. by Marina B Wasilewski, Jaylyn Leighton, Logan Reis, Abirami Vijayakumar, Mahala English, Kris Sanchez, Sander L Hitzig, Michelle L A Nelson, Christine Sheppard, Lawrence Robinson, Rosalie Steinberg, Melody Nguyen, Mark Bayley, Nick Daneman, Charissa Levy, Susie Goulding, Chester Ho, Robert Simpson

“…A thematic codebook developed through inter-coder agreement processes was used to analyze the data.<h4>Findings</h4>Three key themes were identified: (1) Disruptions in people with Long COVID and caregivers' lives are characterized by a deviation from their perceived 'normalcy', (2) Disruptions lead to substantial stress, loss and grief (independence, agency, meaning, and purpose), and (3) People with Long COVID and caregivers cope with stressful disruptions by adapting their daily activities.…”
