Considering the heterogeneous effect of industrial practice on carbon emissions in carbon emitting countries it is imperative to devise effectual policies that address natural environmental concerns. More so, industrial practice appears to be a major contributor of emissions and exercises a significant role in global warming and climate change. This study suggests a panel quantile regression approach to determine the effect of industrial practice on carbon emissions in the BRICS based on data from 1992 to 2014. The empirical findings demonstrate that industrial practice shows varied significant negative (10th and 20th quantile) and positive (30th, 40th and 50th) links respectively with carbon emissions in the lower carbon emitting countries. On the other hand, that relationship was significantly positive for higher emission countries. Secondly, an inverted U-shaped environmental Kuznet curve (EKC) involving industrial practice and carbon emissions was overwhelmingly found to exist in both lower and higher carbon emitting countries. As well, industrial practice was ascertained to have both direct and indirect effects (which was positive in most cases) through its role on per capita income. The overall analysis indicates that current industrial practices within BRICS have the potential to continue causing more environmental damage.

Lead is one of the important heavy metals and its accumulation in environment results in destructive effects. Among the lead-based products, automobile battery has special importance owing to the growth of automobile manufacturing industry. In the past decade, reverse logistics as the main infrastructure for the collection and recycling of products at the end of its life cycle, has been the interest of green industry administrators. This study was conducted to design a reverse logistics network to recycle automobile used batteries and their contents like lead, scrap plastic, and sulphuric acid. This logistic network is a five layers frame work that consists of collection, remanufacturing, repair, recycling, and disposal of used batteries with two objective functions (cost and CO2 emissions minimisation), modelled using mixed-integer linear programming. In order to show the practicability of the presented model, numerical example using general algebraic modelling system (GAMS) software was applied.

In this study, an environmentally friendly water-based drilling fluid is designed to replace the oil-based drilling fluids. This drilling fluid has desirable properties in drilling water sensitive formations. New drilling fluid additives have been used to prepare this new drilling fluid. The most important properties of this new drilling fluid are controlling the mud filtrate and pressure invasion to the formation, clay mineral alteration and activity reduction, improvement of the integrity of drilling cuttings, reduction in formation damage, stability at high temperatures, stability in acidity changes and the compatibility by drilling fluids dilution during drilling operation. The lubricity and shale cuttings recovery of this fluid are better than other similar water based drilling fluids. Application of this fluid can protect the environment and drilling personnel in addition to being economically advantageous.

Hospitals are at the centre of providing different health services to society and their activities may include nutrition therapy, rehabilitation, prevention and health education promotion. During these activities, hospitals may produce waste from medical and non-medical activities. Health waste management is similar to other waste management systems and includes production, separation, gathering, storing, purification and final disposal. If hospital waste is not managed correctly, it will become one of the major factors of infectious diseases in the world, regarded as a serious health problem. Health and therapy waste management is related to the health and safety risks of the transportation of the waste produced from health centres. Our long-term objective was to develop a planning and selection system to support the future waste disposal capacity. The present research included using a system dynamics model by means of Vensim software for the prediction of waste produced in the health waste system in different hospitals.

The rapid rate of urbanisation is putting pressure on ecological condition of cities and caused to producing changes on hydrological processes and specially increasing of storm-generated flows and water pollutants. Traditional urban catchment management methods have overlooked many opportunities to perform water-sensitive urban development and public space design strategies, to decrease impacts on the natural water cycle. During recent years, the low impact approaches in urban development have been recommended as an alternative to these traditional stormwater management. The main objective of this paper is to define what low impact approaches are and what they are not, by defining principles and practices and to show the relationship between the principles and implementation actions. This paper reviews the literature on low impact approaches like low-impact development (LID) and low-impact urban design and development (LIUDD) and presents some relevant designing tools and processes that can be used by urban planners and designers in the urban development.

Topics associated with the critical heat flux (CHF) in industry sector are at the heart of the hot interesting issues on the global agenda. In this paper, we introduce a new method of energy analysis of heat transfer in new generation heat exchangers applicable to the innovative sector of energy recovery. A statistical analysis is performed to study the effect of mass flux on the critical heat flux of an evaporator boiler. The aim of the present study is to provide insights into the effect of mass flux on the CHF when porous tubes are used. Independent sets of full 23 factorial designs with three central points were employed in case of porous coated tubes. Results revealed that the CHF could be influenced by some factors which were dominated in the studied conditions. More specifications of CHF and its relation with the input variables were detailed in this paper.

This study investigated the effect of strut diameter size of fused deposition modelling (FDM) printed lattice structure on compressive performance and its relation to dynamic behaviour of the lattice structure using vibration analysis. The lattice structure samples were fabricated using FDM 3D printing/additive manufacturing (AM) technique with three sizes of strut diameters: 1.2 mm, 1.4 mm and 1.6 mm. Findings from compression test showed that increased in size of strut diameter would increase the compressive strength performance as well as better energy absorptions. Similar increased trend was shown in the vibration analysis as the strut diameter size increased. This study provides information that lattice structure is suitable for use in dynamic load bearing applications.
