Nowadays cross-industry ranging challenges include the reduction of greenhouse gas emission and enabling a circular economy. However, the production of paper from waste paper is still a highly resource intensive task, especially in terms of energy consumption. While paper machines produce a lot of data, we have identified a lack of utilization of it and implement a concept using an operator assistance system and state-of-the-art machine learning techniques, e.g., classification, forecasting and alarm flood handling algorithms, to support daily operator tasks. Our main objective is to provide situation-specific knowledge to machine operators utilizing available data. We expect this will result in better adjusted parameters and therefore a lower footprint of the paper machines.

The induction of demand by increasing the efficiency of a production or consumption process is known as the rebound effect. Feedback loops in System Dynamics can be used to conceptualize the structure of this complex phenomenon and also for communicating model-based insights. In passenger transport, the rebound effect can be induced through increased cost efficiency (direct economic rebound) and/or increase in speed (time rebound). In this paper we review and compare two models on environmental effects of passenger transport—including a model on the role of information and communication technology. We highlight the feedback mechanisms used to deal with the rebound effect (price, efficiency, and time rebound).

Over the past years in Central and Eastern Europe, including Poland, it can be observed that there has been a considerable decrease in water consumption. This leads to high operational costs due to underutilised capacity of existing drinking water treatment plants (DWTP) or distribution systems. Under these conditions providing rational management of DWTP requires technical, economical and reliability analysis. The application of probability and statistical theories together with a decomposition method was the scientific basis of this paper. As a second step, Woodward’s LCCA model, together with the Activity Based Costing (ABC) model, were applied.

Newly developed materials such as engineered nanomaterials are produced in increasing amounts and applied in a growing number of products. Once released to the environment, they can pose a hazard to ecosystems and human health. To assess potential risks, the exposure of the material to humans and the environment has to be determined. For many materials such as engineered nanomaterials, a quantitative measurement of environmental concentrations is not feasible. Material flow models can be used to determine these concentrations indirectly by predicting material flows in the environment. Several modelling approaches can be applied to represent existing knowledge about the flows of materials into and between environmental media or compartments and to consider the uncertainty and variability of the input parameters. In this study we evaluate four existing approaches with regard to their capabilities for indirect exposure assessment, focusing on their ability to treat uncertainty. We first explain how we preselected the four most promising modelling approaches: material flow analysis, system dynamics, material flow networks, and probabilistic material flow modelling. We then define a set of evaluation criteria based on the requirements of environmental exposure assessment and develop a simplified example system that is designed to test these criteria. Based on the comparative modelling and implementation of the example system, we discuss the capabilities and limitations of the approaches and indicate what is missing for a reliable environmental exposure prediction using material flow modelling.

Concept, Procedures and Results of the Monitor of settlement and open space development are presented. The monitoring system will describe the state and the development of land use especially in regard to its sustainability for the entire Federal Republic of Germany. To this end, for the first time ever it makes use of topographical geobasis data (digital landscape model of the Authoritative Topographic-Cartographic Information System, short ATKIS). These data allow for a more precise spatial and contentwise description of land use than that of the land register data, which serve as the basis for the official land use statistics. On the basis of the geobasis data an automatic calculation of indicators from the fields of settlement, open space, nature reserves, population, traffic occurs and landscape fragmentation. The indicators are depicted in thematic maps, thus allowing for spatial and chronological comparisons. In addition to administrative spatial units (federal state, region, district, municipality), the indicator values are also presented in scales of various cell widths. For calculating building-based settlement indicators, the patented program SEMENTA® is used, which is based on an automated evaluation of analogue maps.

This paper takes the life cycle inventory database ecoinvent as an example of the integration of ERP and enviro nmental information systems. A reference model describes the ERP-integrated creation of life cycle asse ssments based on ecoinvent data. The main challenges to implement the referen ce model from the viewpoint of ecoinvent are identified and approaches for a solution presented. First , an outline for an ontology enhancing ecoinvent metadata is given to help bridge the so-called semantic gap. Second, the basic web services needed to attach to a servic e-oriented architecture are described.

One of the most important factors in sustainable irrigation is the adaptability of crops to climate. Vegetative vigor or "greenness" of wheat could be considered as an appropriate index to measure water availability and deficiency stress and also plant health, plant density and quality. The index is called Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). In this study MODIS-NDVI values were compared with climatological parameters to assess the relations between vegetative vigor and climatological parameters. The NDVI values for three selected wheat farms in Mashhad area were calculated using MODIS images for 2003 and 2004 growing seasons. The data of four climatological parameters including air temperature, precipitation, relative humidity and sunshine hours were also collected from the nearest weather stations. Then a multi-regression statistical analysis was performed to find the relation between wheat NDVI and climatological parameters in the study area. Pertaining statistical methods including Mixed, and Stepwise (Forward and Backward) were used in the analysis. Scattering matrix was used to determine the data scattering of the models and NDVI values for comparison. The results showed that backward method was more appropriate than the other two methods for predicting NDVI values of the study area. After finalizing this model the results were statistically tested using 20% of the samples for the test purpose and the remaining 80% for running the model. The results showed that there was no significant difference between Backward, Testing Backward and Training Backward models. The results from the latter method showed that the NDVI of the pixels could be estimated for 79% of the cases. It can be stated that the rest of NDVI values could be affected by other environmental parameters such as soil type and characteristics, topographical conditions, agronomical practices, plant diseases and other unknown factors. Finally, some maps were developed showing the potential wheat farming in the area according to the model results.
农作物对气候的适应性是影响可持续灌溉的一个重要因素。小麦的营养活力或“绿度”可作为衡量水分有效性和水分胁迫以及植物健康、密度和品质的适宜指标。该指数被称为归一化植被指数(NDVI)。本研究将MODIS-NDVI值与气候参数进行比较，以评估植被活力与气候参数的关系。利用MODIS影像计算了马什哈德地区3个小麦农场2003年和2004年生长季的NDVI值。气温、降水、相对湿度和日照时数等4个气候参数的数据也由最近的气象站采集。对研究区小麦NDVI与气候参数的关系进行多元回归统计分析。在分析中使用了相关的统计方法，包括Mixed和Stepwise (Forward and Backward)。利用散射矩阵确定模型的数据散射和NDVI值进行比较。结果表明，反演法比其他两种方法更适合预测研究区NDVI值。在最终确定该模型后，对结果进行统计测试，使用20%的样本用于测试目的，其余80%用于运行模型。结果表明，Backward、Testing Backward和Training Backward模型之间没有显著差异。后一种方法的结果表明，在79%的情况下，可以估计出像素的NDVI。可以说，其余的NDVI值可能受到其他环境参数的影响，如土壤类型和特征、地形条件、农艺做法、植物病害和其他未知因素。最后，根据模型结果绘制了一些地图，显示了该地区潜在的小麦种植。
