  2. 6. Analysing the carbon footprint of food : insights for consumer communication

    Author : Elin Röös; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In Europe, food consumption is responsible for approximately 30% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. There has been huge interest in estimating the carbon footprint (CF) of food products, i.e. the total amount of GHG emitted during the life cycle of the product, and communicating these to consumers to enable them to make informed choices.

  4. 7. What is perceived as complex in final assembly?

    Author : Sandra Mattsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; socio-technical systems; automotive; Production complexity; final assembly; quantitative methods;

    Abstract : Production complexity affects quality, reliability, performance and production time. Due to the high complexity in final assembly, manual assembly is used to handle the high product variety, flexibility and small batch sizes. To improve and find optimal conditions for the worker is therefore essential. READ MORE

  5. 8. A Virtual Design Studio for Low-Frequency Sound from Walking in Lightweight Buildings

  6. 9. Uncertainties and variability in the global carbon cycle

    Author : Stephens Craig; Martin Heimann; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Meteorology; Meteorologi; meteorologi; Meteorology;

    Abstract : Anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are perturbing the radiation balance of the atmosphere that ultimately determines the climate for all life on Earth. The prediction of future climate change and the explanation of observed changes are contingent on us quantitatively understanding the link between CO2 emissions and atmospheric concentrations that is provided by the biogeochemical carbon cycle.
