Enzymatic hydrolysis followed by alcoholic fermentation of prickly pears (Opuntia ficus-indica L.) cladodes and fruits using Saccharomyces cerevisiae E1A
(Corresponding) Karalis J., Arapoglou D., Markou G., Eliopoulos C., Papanikolaou S.
Topic:
Biowaste
The cultivation and production of biomass of prickly pear is of particular interest due to the fact that it can be grown in arid areas, producing higher amounts of biomass with lower inputs (water, fertilizers etc.) compared to other crops. The present study examines whether enzyme...Read more
The effects of the Circular Economy (CE) are positive and negative. However, the beneficial aspects are widely considered. The CE creates a link between economic growth and limited resources by cuts waste from the production system. Therefore, CE is associated with increased prosperity, the...Read more

A case study on the application of Product Social Impact Assessment to the agri-food sector: ready-to-eat beetroot.
NÚÑEZ P., BAÑALES B., (Corresponding) SAN MIGUEL G., DIEZMA B., CORREA E.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
The main objective of this study is to apply the Product Social Impact Assessment (PSIA) handbook to a case study. The method used to quantify the social impacts is to identify the stakeholders and the social topic, indicators, and then to apply the impact analysis method. Social studies identify...Read more

Applying Product Social Impact Assessment (PSIA) to services: the case study of a higher education and research institution
(Corresponding) SAN MIGUEL G., IBARRA-GRANDE A., MEROLA-MORESCHI D.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Applying the Product Social Impact Assessment (PSIA) methodology to evaluate the social performance of a service such as that provided by a higher education and research institution is not straightforward. This is mainly due to the lack of materiality of the system, which makes it unfeasible to...Read more
Quantifying the social benefits of the fair-trade designation of coffee using Social Hotspot Database
(Corresponding) SAN MIGUEL G., MELGAR-GARCIA M., DIEZMA B., CORREA E.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Quantifying sustainability is a difficult but necessary task to improve our environmental, economic, and social surroundings. This paper describes an investigation into the use of the Social Hotspot Database (SHDB) to determine the true value of fair-trade certification. The analysis has been...Read more

Utilization of paraffin wax as phase change material for solar thermal energy storage
(Corresponding) Shalaby S., Kabeel A., Fleafl A.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
In this work, a thermal energy storage system based paraffin wax as phase change material (PCM) was designed, constructed and tested when it was integrated with a solar water heater (SWH). For the purpose of comparison, the SWH was also tested when water was used as a storage medium. The system was...Read more
