Abstract:
... This article contains comments on the paper published by Govindan et al. (2013) where the authors devised a method for measuring the sustainability performance of suppliers. Economic, environmental and social factors considered important for triple-bottom-line are used to rank and select the suppliers. Fuzzy TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) is used as a metho ...

Abstract:
... The rise of urban populations has rendered cities in both developed and developing countries vulnerable to poor health and diseases that are associated with urban living conditions and environments. Therefore, there is a growing consensus that while personal factors are critical in determining health, the urban environment exacerbates or mitigates health outcomes, and as such the solution for impr ...

Abstract:
... On the occurrence of an environmental wind, the steady-state flame spread will go through a transitional process to a new steady state of the concurrent flame spread. However, such a transition between two steady states was rarely studied, despite that it often happens to many fire events. This paper presents an experimental study on the transitional flame-spread behavior over the horizontal PMMA ...

Abstract:
... The increasing prevalence of obesity in youth has contributed to the growing global burden of chronic diseases (e.g. diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and cancers), which has been largely accounted for by obesogenic behaviours and environments. Previous studies have focused on the influences on obesity of multidimensional environmental indicators, which have mixed effects, for example, built envir ...

Abstract:
... Courtship in Drosophila involves exchange of chemosensory, auditory, tactile and visual signals. Differences in courtship signals are strongly influenced by environmental factors, among which nutrition plays one of the more important roles. Through influence on development, morphology, physiology and behaviour, nutrition may affect both sexual selection and isolation. However, the impact of specif ...

Abstract:
... Candidatus Microthrix parvicella has been frequently detected as the dominant filamentous bacteria in bulking sludge and thus seriously affects the stable operation of activated sludge processes. The extremely low growth rate of Ca. M. parvicella and its sensitivity to environmental variations greatly limit the development of effective techniques to control filamentous bulking. Based on previous i ...

Abstract:
... Metapopulation structure emerges from the dispersal of individuals among spatially distinct patches across a low-quality matrix. While dispersing agents are typically modeled as functionally identical with limited, linear and non-directional dispersal, field studies argue for the incorporation of intraspecific trait variation, such as behavioral, into the modeling of dispersal. Individual personal ...
