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

Techno-economic, environmental and social assessment of precision agriculture for stone fruit production
Núñez-Cárdenas P., (Corresponding) Guillermo S., de la Rosa J., Diezma B., Valero C., Correa E.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Precision agriculture is a powerful solution to mitigate the environmental impact of agricultural systems, optimize crop inputs and cost reduction. The aim of this work is to analyze the benefits of precision farming practices (irrigation, fertilization and phytosanitary treatment) through a life...Read more

Effect of plant species on the performance of vegetated buffer strips to treat agricultural runoffs
(Corresponding) Markoulatou E., Fountoulakis M.
Topic:
Water treatment
Vegetated buffer strips (VBS), have been recognized as the most common management practice for mitigating pollution caused by agricultural runoff. They serve a transitional zone between agricultural fields and receiving waters. In this study, two VBS planted with aromatic plants and one unvegetated...Read more
