  4. 2. Systems Analysis for Eco-Industrial Development : Applied on Cement and Biogas Production Systems

    Author : Roozbeh Feiz; Mats Eklund; Jonas Ammenberg; Olli Salmi; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; industrial ecology; eco-industrial development; multi-criteria analysis; life-cycle assessment; MCA; LCA; uncertainty management; systems analysis; industrial symbiosis; cement; biogas; cement production; biogas solutions;

    Abstract : Our industrial systems are not sustainable—a major challenge which demands several types of responses. Eco-industrial development can be seen as such a response, with the goal to establish industrial systems that are both ecological and economical. Industrial Ecology is another closely related response. READ MORE

  5. 3. Management and Treatment of Organotin and Metal Contaminated Dredged Sediment

  7. 5. Gene dose imbalances in children with mental retardation

    Author : Jacqueline Schoumans; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Mental retardation; MCA MR syndromes; cromosome abnormalities; subtelomeric FISH; comparative genomichybridization; array-CGH;

    Abstract : Submicroscopic chromosome aberrations can cause mental retardation (MR), congenital malformations and miscarriage. It is difficult to estimate the contribution of cytogenetic abnormalities to MR because of relatively low detection sensitivity of conventional cytogenetic methods used in the diagnostic setting.
