Advancements in technology have led to the increased production of waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). Plastic, which is becoming more and more relevant for recovery or material recycling systems, is one of the most common materials found in WEEE.
The use of expensive and complex equipment in the recycling sector is problematic due to technical, environmental, and financial factors. Efficient and cost-effective solutions for material characterization, quality control, and sorting applications are needed. The use of Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI)-based sensors working in the Short-Wave InfraRed (SWIR) spectral range represent a viable solution to this challenge. This study presents a methodological approach using SWIR-HSI techniques for sorting and quality control applications of various plastic streams from WEEE. View this paper
Understanding how international trade, FDI and human capital (FDI-HC and ET-HC) in the ICT industry affect Taiwan’s stable economic growth between 2001 and 2020 is the main objective of this study. The empirical analysis method used in this stu...
The present study aimed to delve into the local ecological knowledge of fisheries in the Meghna River Basin (MRB) of Bangladesh by exploring the insights and perspectives of local communities. A survey was administered among six fishing communities f...
Non-renewable materials like plastics are widely applied on toothbrush handles and bristles. Polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE) is often used to fabricate the toothbrush handle, while nylon (PA) is used to form the bristle. These plastics are so...
In recent years, there has been growing interest in promoting sustainable agriculture and reducing the environmental impact of the food system. One approach to achieving these goals is through farm-to-Fork (FTF) sourcing, which involves direct procur...
Traffic congestion is a typical phenomenon when motorways meet urban road networks. At this special location, the weaving area is a recurrent traffic bottleneck. Numerous research activities have been conducted to improve traffic efficiency and susta...
Climate stress poses a threat to the agricultural sector, which is vital for both the economy and livelihoods in general. Quantifying its risk to food security, livelihoods, and sustainability is crucial. This study proposes a framework to estimate t...
While innovation is essential for sustainable development, micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), which account for more than 90% of firms in Latin America, face the challenge of benefiting systematically from innovation due to capabilit...
Taking the listed firms of heavy pollution industries in China for 2010–2021 as a sample, this study explored the impact and heterogeneity of corporate environmental disclosure behavior on analyst forecasts’ accuracy. We discovered that c...
The use of U-shaped girders has become increasingly popular in advanced projects such as metro rail systems due to their ability to provide greater vertical clearance beneath bridges. These girders, characterized by two webs and a bottom flange, cont...
Single-side natural ventilation is a commonly used means of ventilation to effectively regulate the thermal environment in building interiors without any fossil energy consumption. To achieve most of the potential for the efficiency of single-side na...
