Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Exoplanet has Smothering Stratosphere without WaterRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuIn some earlier works, the authors of the present study have shown that a modern ship should resemble a UFO, an accelerated particle jet propulsion with a particle accelerator on board the ship, accelerating to the very best big. The problem as an idea is clear and simple, but the current technologies we have in the field of fixed particle … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2018 · 6,995 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTowards the Efficiency of Municipal Solid Waste Management in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC): Case Study of LubumbashiMartin T. Mpinda, Olusegun K. Abass, Mujinya B. Bazirake et al.This paper provides an overview on the state of Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) in Lubumbashi, D.R Congo. To meet the recently proposed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), establishment of efficient waste management techniques and strategies geared towards monetizing waste in the framework of sustainable growth is inevitable. Solid waste categorization and collection in conjunction with recycle, reuse and revalue are … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 27 May 2016 · 10,151 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOverview of Certification Methodologies for Sustainable Constructions of Brazilian BuildingsVanessa Silva Pugliero, Lorenzo Campos Coiado, Lia Lorena Pimentel et al.The terms “sustainable” and “environmentally-friendly” have been used in the construction industry field as a marketing appeal. The methodology to judge in which level a building is sustainable in Brazil is incipient, without orientation and hardly ever there is a diffusion of these methods inside Brazilian territory. Almost all developed countries have their appropriate certification methodology for sustainable constructions. Some … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 25 May 2015 · 6,915 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE HIGH VOLUME REUSE OF HYBRID BIOMASS ASH AS A PRIMARY BINDER IN CEMENTLESS MORTAR BLOCKCheah Chee Ban, Noor Shazea Ahmad Nordin, Part Wei Ken et al.High Calcium Wood Ash (HCWA) and Pulverised Fuel Ash (PFA) are by-products from the wood biomass and coal energy production which are produced in large quantity with combined annual production of 500 million tonnes. This poses a serious problem for disposal of the waste material especially at places where land is scarce. The prescribed study was aimed to examine the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 29 May 2014 · 7,162 accessesView PDFCite
