Tuning of an advanced control system on a membrane process for tannery wastewater purification and chromium recovery purposes
Marchetti A., (Corresponding) Stoller M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Tannery wastewater represent a hazard to the environment due to its high content of chromium. Conventional methods to purify this wastewater stream are available, but not capable to recover back chromium to the tannery process. Membranes appears to be a promising technology to achieve both targets...Read more

Integrating Seaport Infrastructure Monitoring Approaches to Improve Smartness and Climate Adaptive Capacity
(Corresponding) Tsaimou C., Chalastani V., Sartampakos P., Tsoukala V.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Seaport infrastructure monitoring promotes the development of an effective management system that ensures functionality, structural capacity and safety. Monitoring approaches are considered to be a useful tool in an attempt to deal with growing global trends, such as seaport “smartness”, or with...Read more
Climate Adaptation and Local Institutions: An Assessment of The Adaptive Capacities of Key Sectors In Adansi North District
(Corresponding) Enu K., Ahenkan A., Ackom E., Odame Appiah D.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The over-domineering of political policies aimed at perpetuating power means issues of social interest such as climate adaptation capabilities are often relegated to the background. Thus, the success of adaptation efforts often hinges ultimately on the nature of institutional robustness and...Read more

Developing a framework for local climate change adaptation plan (LCCAP): The case of Mandra-Attiki, Greece
(Corresponding) LEKA A., CHARCHOUSI D., Papadopoulou M.
Topic:
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The present work deals with the development of a preliminary climate change (CC) adaptation action plan at local level. The area of interest area is the greater area of Mandra Municipality, Attica, Greece; a suburban area that in November of 2017 had experienced a major flood incident with human...Read more

Paradigm Shift Towards Integrated Sustainability and High Performance Machining
Attia M.
Topic:
Sustainable production and management of biomass
The environmental impact of machining is presented in terms of the damage to human health, ecosystem quality, and resources. To reconcile the conflicting requirements of economic growth and environmental protection, a paradigm shift towards integrated sustainability and high performance machining...Read more
