Exergy analysis of a Stirling cycle by Wills, James Alexander

“…There is also significant interest in using Stirling engines in low to medium temperature solar thermal applications, and for waste heat recovery. To develop high-performance engines that are also economically viable, advanced mathematical models that accurately predict performance and give insight into the different loss mechanisms are required. …”

Quantifying land-based sources of plastic pollution in South Africa by Weideman, Eleanor A

“…Most studies to date predict the flux of litter from land to sea using global models based on a handful of field studies conducted mostly in developed, Northern Hemisphere countries; others use proxies such as per capita waste generation and proportion of mismanaged waste to predict litter loads entering the sea. …”

Fabrication and Characterization of Translucent Wood Composite Using Egyptian Hardwoods: Casuarina & Eucalyptus by Elia, Sherif

“…It is responsible for the consumption of vast amounts of resources and consequently generating massive quantities of waste. Also, as the building sector is responsible for consuming large portions of the world energy and electricity, such buildings' efficiency and sustainability must be considered. …”

Factors involved in the oligomerisation of the cyanide dihydratase from Bacillus pumilus C1 by Mulelu, Andani Errol

“…This enzyme is a good candidate for bioremediation of cyanide waste but the high alkaline pH of the cyanide waste water poses a problem in that it inactivates the wild type enzyme and therefore improvement of stability is required in order to synthesize an effective enzyme. …”

Disentangling entanglement in Cape fur seals for better management of plastic pollution impacts by Winroth, Forsberg Sara Trine

“…Key management interventions include education programmes targeting harbour employees and fishermen about the adverse impacts of marine litter, and implementing guidelines on appropriate waste disposal in the harbour. Putting up signage where seals commonly haul out highlighting the entanglement problem may also improve waste disposal habits. …”
