Anaerobic digestion (AD) is an effective method for treating organic waste. However, the performance of anaerobic reactors needs to be improved and comprehensively analyzed. This study proposed a ternary co-feedstock strategy for thermophilic anaerobic co-digestion of tomato plant residue, cattle manure, and food waste. The effects of changing the feedstock composition, feedstock-to-inoculum ratio, and total solids (TS) content were investigated. Among the tested mixtures, a ternary mixture of 60% tomato plant residue, 20% cattle manure, and 20% food waste with a feedstock-to-inoculum ratio of 0.7 gave the highest cumulative biogas (3.230 L), methane yield (2.575 L), methane content (79.71%), co-digestion performance index (1.65) and volatile solids (VS) removal rate (60.59%). Changing the feedstocks compositions caused changes in the specific biogas yield and specific methane yield. In tests with TS contents of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%, a higher TS content increased biogas and methane production because of increases in the amount of the biodegradable fraction in the reactor. However, there was a risk of volatile fatty acid overloading and a decrease in the VS removal rate because of inefficient decomposition of the high total solids content by microbes in the inoculum.

厌氧消化是处理有机废物的一种有效方法。然而,厌氧反应器的性能还有待提高和综合分析。本研究提出了番茄植物残渣、牛粪和食物垃圾厌氧共消化的三元共原料策略。考察了不同原料组成、料接种比和总固形物(TS)含量的影响。其中,以60%番茄残渣、20%牛粪、20%餐厨垃圾为混合料,料接种比为0.7时,累积沼气(3.230 L)、甲烷产量(2.575 L)、甲烷含量(79.71%)、共消化性能指数(1.65)和挥发性固体(VS)去除率(60.59%)最高。改变原料组成引起比沼气产率和比甲烷产率的变化。在TS含量为5%、10%、15%和20%的试验中,较高的TS含量增加了沼气和甲烷的产量,因为反应器中可生物降解部分的数量增加了。然而,由于接种物中微生物对高总固体含量的分解效率低下,存在挥发性脂肪酸超载和VS去除率降低的风险。

Extreme precipitation events can cause geomorphic adjustments in the riverscapes. As a result of the increase in severity and frequency of these events in climate change scenarios, riverscapes may become more sensitive to the geoforms sculpting processes. Consequently, communities in the river valleys may be adversely affected, worsening socio-environmental problems arising from these places’ occupation. This work investigates the relationship between events classified as heavy rainfall and persistent rainfall and geomorphic adjustments in the riverscape. A section of the Itapocu River in southern Brazil between latitudes 26°25’S and 26°32’S was used as a case study. Extreme events recorded in pluviometers’ historical series located around the study area were selected and characterized. These events occurred between 01/30/2019 and 04/15/2019; 11/15/2020 and 12/30/2020; 02/23/2021 and 03/10/2021. The geomorphic adjustments were identified by selecting Sentinel-2 orbital imagery. The satellite images were applied in the river valley geoforms vectorization and correlation among transverse and longitudinal sections to the river valley. The analysis of fluvial sensitivity went through the adjustments’ significance evaluation by the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results indicated that the river presented adjustments related to extreme precipitation events. These adjustments were identified as channel migration, channel expansion, channel narrowing, river bar expansion, and river bar narrowing. However, only channel migration, channel expansion, and channel narrowing were significant. In 2019, 82.03% of the river was significantly affected by the events, while in 2020 and 2021, events impacted 57.67% and 64.72% of the river, respectively.

极端降水事件会导致河流景观的地貌调整。由于气候变化情景中这些事件的严重性和频率的增加,河流景观可能对地貌雕刻过程变得更加敏感。因此,河谷地区的社区可能受到不利影响,加剧了这些地区被占领所产生的社会环境问题。本研究探讨了强降雨和持续降雨事件与河流景观地貌调整之间的关系。在巴西南部纬度26°25′s和26°32′s之间的伊塔波布河的一段被用作案例研究。选取了研究区周边雨表历史序列记录的极端事件,并进行了特征分析。这些事件发生在2019年1月30日至2019年4月15日之间;2020年11月15日和12月30日;2021年2月23日和2021年3月10日。地貌调整通过选择Sentinel-2轨道图像进行识别。将卫星影像应用于河谷地貌矢量化及河谷横剖面和纵剖面的相关分析。河流敏感性分析通过Wilcoxon sign Rank检验进行调整的显著性评价。结果表明,黄河流域与极端降水事件存在一定的调节关系。这些调整被确定为河道迁移、河道扩张、河道变窄、河坝扩张和河坝变窄。然而,只有通道迁移、通道扩张和通道缩小是显著的。2019年,82.03%的河流受到事件的显著影响,而2020年和2021年,事件对河流的影响分别为57.67%和64.72%。

Commodity plastics such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are some of the common plastic wastes found in municipal wastes. Lack of technology, resources, coherent programs, policies, mismanagement and incomplete processing of these plastics, results in these plastics mostly ending up in landfills. Adopting a qualitative research approach, the paper reviewed PE, PP and PET recycling waste management processes from selected developed and developing countries. It was found that chemical recycling in terms of catalytic cracking followed by pyrolysis technologies are more suitable for producing higher liquid oils whiles gasification improves fuel gas yield. Given that mechanical recycling requires less capital and resources, it is a more suitable waste management option for plastic products in developing countries. In cases where there are complex separation issues, incineration for energy recovery is appropriate but it should be used with end-of-pipe treatment solutions to mitigate against the environmental impact of incineration. The paper further highlights various opportunities and challenges involved with PE, PP and PET plastic waste treatment pathway, the appropriate yields obtained for each technique and where adaptation can be made.

聚乙烯(PE)、聚丙烯(PP)和聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)等商品塑料是城市垃圾中常见的一些塑料废物。缺乏技术、资源、连贯的计划、政策、管理不善和对这些塑料的不完整处理,导致这些塑料大部分最终被填埋。本文采用定性研究方法,综述了选定的发达国家和发展中国家PE、PP和PET回收废物管理过程。研究发现,化学再循环催化裂化后再热解技术更适合生产高纯度的液态油,而气化技术可提高燃料气产率。鉴于机械回收需要较少的资金和资源,它是发展中国家塑料产品更合适的废物管理选择。在存在复杂分离问题的情况下,焚化以回收能源是适当的,但应与管道末端处理方案一起使用,以减轻焚化对环境的影响。本文进一步强调了PE, PP和PET塑料废物处理途径所涉及的各种机遇和挑战,每种技术获得的适当产量以及可以进行调整的地方。

What can egocentric network measures contribute to stated preference analyses? An exploration 以自我为中心的网络测量对陈述偏好分析有什么贡献?探索

While economics has long recognized concern for others (e.g. altruism and bequest motives), explicit inclusion of social network metrics in non market valuation models is relatively recent. Social network effects on willingness to pay can propagate through the entire network and bias willingness to pay (WTP) estimates. However, social networks are complex systems of relationships between individuals, and measuring them can be difficult. We explored the potential for egocentric social network (ESN) measures to help explain variations in preference for the status quo. Using simulated random networks, we demonstrate that respondents more likely to choose an alternative to the status quo are part of more dense ESNs. A strong influence of an attitude toward the impact of economic development on the environmental goods and services is consistent with network structure and preference for environmental improvements being jointly determined.

虽然经济学长期以来一直认识到对他人的关注(例如利他主义和遗赠动机),但在非市场估值模型中明确纳入社会网络指标是相对较新的。社会网络对支付意愿的影响可以通过整个网络传播,并对支付意愿(WTP)估计产生偏差。然而,社交网络是个人之间关系的复杂系统,衡量它们可能很困难。我们探索了以自我为中心的社交网络(ESN)措施的潜力,以帮助解释对现状偏好的变化。使用模拟随机网络,我们证明,更有可能选择替代现状的受访者是更密集的ESN的一部分。对经济发展对环境商品和服务的影响的态度的强烈影响与共同决定的网络结构和对环境改善的偏好是一致的。

Agriculture is of great importance in all societies, serving as the fundamental basis for producing food and ensuring the survival of human populations. The process of agricultural production and the associated logistical elements face numerous difficulties, which are further intensified by the worldwide water scarcity resulting from climate change. Nevertheless, the existing body of literature has not sufficiently addressed the consequences of water scarcity on agri-food supply chains. To bridge this research gap and contribute to mitigating the global water crisis induced by climate change, this study proposes a hybrid model that combines optimized neural networks based on meta-heuristic algorithms and mathematical optimization for a sustainable agricultural supply chain. The proposed model integrates particle swarm optimization (PSO) for feature selection and a hybrid convolutional neural network (CNN)-gated recurrent unit (GRU) with a genetic algorithm (GA) optimized structure to predict water consumption. Leveraging the model’s results, a multi-objective sustainable agriculture supply chain model is developed to optimize supply chain profitability while simultaneously addressing environmental pollutants, production waste, food waste, water usage, and manufacturing costs and time. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, a real case study in Iran is employed, providing both theoretical and practical insights into the design of agriculture supply chain optimization that incorporates sustainability factors and effectively tackles the growing challenge of water scarcity. The findings of this study hold implications for managers and policymakers in countries where the importance of sustainability is growing. By integrating advanced optimization techniques and predictive models, this research offers a novel framework for enhancing the sustainability of agricultural supply chains and addressing the pressing issues of water scarcity induced by climate change.

农业在所有社会中都非常重要,是生产粮食和确保人口生存的根本基础。农业生产过程和相关的后勤要素面临许多困难,气候变化造成的全球缺水进一步加剧了这些困难。然而,现有的文献并没有充分解决水资源短缺对农业食品供应链的影响。为了弥补这一研究空白,并有助于缓解气候变化引起的全球水危机,本研究提出了一个混合模型,该模型将基于元启发式算法的优化神经网络与可持续农业供应链的数学优化相结合。该模型将粒子群算法(PSO)用于特征选择,混合卷积神经网络(CNN)门控循环单元(GRU)与遗传算法(GA)优化结构相结合,用于预测用水量。利用该模型的结果,开发了一个多目标可持续农业供应链模型,以优化供应链的盈利能力,同时解决环境污染物、生产浪费、食物浪费、用水以及制造成本和时间问题。为了评估所提出方法的有效性,本文采用了伊朗的一个真实案例研究,为农业供应链优化设计提供了理论和实践见解,该优化设计包含可持续性因素,并有效应对日益严峻的水资源短缺挑战。这项研究的结果对可持续性重要性日益增长的国家的管理者和决策者具有启示意义。通过整合先进的优化技术和预测模型,本研究为提高农业供应链的可持续性和解决气候变化引起的紧迫水资源短缺问题提供了一个新的框架。

This paper explores the awareness, knowledge, attitudes and behaviour of members of the Irish fishing community towards environmental topics such as; microplastics, plastic pollution and recycling. We conducted a mixed method survey consisting of 26 questions (2021) involving members of the Irish fishing community (fishers, aquaculturists etc.). Respondents were generally aware of microplastics and the threats they can pose to different environmental matrices. They noticed litter frequently when engaged in their fishing activities (0% never noticed litter) and in large quantities (35% of respondents noticed over 10+ items) but they were likely (likely 40% and highly likely 35%) to remove it from the environment. Durability was the main reason for the selection of most fishing plastics used by respondents (ranked first in 4 of 5 plastic items) while recyclability played a lesser role. Respondents also viewed plastics as cheap and convenient with these terms accounting for 48% of positive connotations related to the word ‘plastic’, however, in general associated plastic with negative phrases. Barriers to the recycling of used fishing plastics were most frequently identified as being due to a lack of knowledge on how to or a lack of facilities. This study provides novel insight into a previously unstudied cohort in Irish society towards plastics and recycling and can serve as guidance for further work on this group.

本文探讨了爱尔兰渔业社区成员对环境主题的认识、知识、态度和行为,如:;微塑料、塑料污染和回收。我们进行了一项混合方法调查,包括26个问题(2021年),涉及爱尔兰渔业社区成员(渔民、水产养殖者等)。受访者普遍了解微塑料及其对不同环境基质的威胁。他们在从事捕鱼活动时经常注意到垃圾(0%从未注意到垃圾)和大量垃圾(35%的受访者注意到超过10种物品),但他们很可能(可能40%,极有可能35%)将垃圾从环境中清除。耐久性是受访者选择大多数捕鱼塑料的主要原因(在5种塑料中排名第一),而可回收性的作用较小。受访者还认为塑料既便宜又方便,这些术语占与“塑料”一词相关的正面含义的48%,然而,通常将塑料与负面短语联系在一起。回收使用过的捕鱼塑料的障碍最常被认为是由于缺乏如何回收的知识或缺乏设施。这项研究为爱尔兰社会中以前未研究过的塑料和回收群体提供了新的见解,并可为该群体的进一步工作提供指导。

Reliable and detailed information on livestock distribution is essential for studies of food security, environmental change, and even sustainable development. However, insufficient accuracy and inadequate validation currently remain in high-resolution livestock distribution datasets primarily resulting from using spatially-continuous models and deficient data. This study presents, for the first time to our knowledge, a spatially detailed dataset on intensive (point) and extensive (30”× 30” grid) livestock production in China (HIEL-China) in 2017 based on an improved model and multi-scale data. Technical validation shows high accuracy in spatial distribution and farm-size simulation. Based on the more reliable depiction of livestock farms, we addressed the obvious underestimation of livestock density in previous datasets, and found different structures of livestock production systems in urban, peri-urban and rural areas. This study accordingly contributes to an essential data basis for livestock-associated analyses targeting at sustainable development of food systems, especially for the largest contributor to global livestock production.

关于牲畜分布的可靠和详细信息对于研究粮食安全、环境变化甚至可持续发展至关重要。然而,目前高分辨率牲畜分布数据集的准确性和有效性仍然不足,主要原因是使用空间连续模型和数据不足。本研究首次基于改进模型和多尺度数据,构建了2017年中国集约(点)和粗放(30“× 30”网格)畜牧生产(HIEL-China)的空间详细数据集。技术验证表明,空间分布和农场规模模拟具有较高的准确性。基于对畜禽养殖场更可靠的描述,我们解决了以往数据集中明显低估畜禽密度的问题,并发现了城市、城郊和农村地区畜禽生产系统的不同结构。因此,这项研究为针对粮食系统可持续发展的畜牧相关分析提供了重要的数据基础,特别是对全球畜牧业生产的最大贡献者。

Energy audits are an important part of reducing energy usage, costs, and carbon emissions, but there have been discrepancies in the quality of audits depending upon the auditor, which can negatively affect the impacts and credibility of the energy assessment. In this paper, historical energy auditing data from a U.S. Department of Energy sponsored research program was gathered and analyzed with a machine-learning algorithm to predict demand savings from a compressed air system assessment recommendation in industrial manufacturing facilities. Different energy auditors calculate savings for repairing leaks in compressed air systems in various ways, so the energy demand savings have been calculated differently throughout the historical assessment recommendations. Machine learning models are utilized in order to enhance the accuracy of the existing practice and reduce variations resulting from the abovementioned discrepancies. A large set of historical assessment recommendation data was used to train five unique machine learning models. Four base learner models and one metalearner model were devised and compared. Results showed that the distributed random forest model best predicted compressed air energy demand savings against the new scenarios within an error of 17%. This indicates that the distributed random forest model can more accurately quantify savings from repairing leaks in compressed air systems. In addition, the results from this study provide insight into the important factors contributing to leaks in the compressed air systems and why it is crucial to repair those leaks regularly to save money and energy while decreasing emissions.

能源审计是减少能源使用、成本和碳排放的重要组成部分,但审计质量的差异取决于审计师,这可能会对能源评估的影响和可信度产生负面影响。本文收集了来自美国能源部赞助的研究项目的历史能源审计数据,并使用机器学习算法进行分析,以预测工业制造设施中压缩空气系统评估建议的需求节约。不同的能源审计员以不同的方式计算修复压缩空气系统泄漏的节省,因此在整个历史评估建议中,能源需求节省的计算方式不同。利用机器学习模型来提高现有实践的准确性,并减少由上述差异引起的变化。使用大量的历史评估推荐数据来训练五个独特的机器学习模型。设计了四种基本学习器模型和一种元学习器模型并进行了比较。结果表明,分布式随机森林模型对新情景下压缩空气能源需求节约的最佳预测误差在17%以内。这表明分布式随机森林模型可以更准确地量化修复压缩空气系统泄漏所节省的费用。此外,本研究的结果还深入了解了导致压缩空气系统泄漏的重要因素,以及为什么定期修复这些泄漏以节省资金和能源,同时减少排放至关重要。
