Since the introduction of neoclassical economic theory, material wealth and accumulation have been linked to hedonic wellbeing. In turn, Utilitarian notions generated belief that infinite growth is not only good but necessary for society prosper. Unsurprisingly, this system has supported considerable depletion natural resources always led social equitability or environmental justice, two pillars sustainable development. Given these limitations, paper looks into eudaimonic wellbeing, as...
In the vacuum thermoforming process, group effects of processing parameters, when related to minimizing product deviations set, have conflicting and non-linear values which make their mathematical modelling complex multi-objective. Therefore, this work developed models prediction optimization using artificial neural networks (ANN), having parameters set as networks' inputs outputs and, furthermore, an objective function deviation minimization. For ANN data, samples were produced in...
Energy has been at the forefront of sustainable development discourse for quite some time as policymakers, industry heads and society large have taken progressive steps to cut carbon via renewable energy technologies efficiency measures. Unfortunately, these methods given rise perverse socio-environmental effects; materials unnecessarily sacrificed, mines wells opened plantations grown, in name saving. This paper contributes clean energy-orientated policies practices by exploring discipline...
The Exergy Replacement Cost (ERC) is an indicator that used to ascertain the sustainability of non-renewable resource depletion. Specifically, it measures amount exergy society would have expend if were forced re-capture and re-concentrate dispersed minerals back into a manmade usable deposit. Due assumption regarding non-substitutability fossil fuels, original method failed properly account for them. In fact, sub-estimated their replacement cost forty-seven-fold, on average, when...
This paper is a Colombian case study that calculates the total water footprint (blue, green, and grey) for heavy crude production (11.5 average API gravity) occurring in three fields, located Magdalena watershed. In this study, highest direct blue registers 0.19 m3/barrel heavily influenced by cyclic steam stimulation practices. value could be reduced if coming out of well was to cleaned with highly advanced wastewater treatment technologies. The grey footprint, at 0.06 m3/barrel, minimal...
Abstract In the vacuum thermoforming process, product deviations depend on several parameters of system, which make analysis, computational modeling, and optimization errors a multi-variable process with conflicting objectives. this sense, aim work was to study dimensional geometrical as well (minimization) these in one typical made polystyrene (PS). particular, it intended predict minimize range ideal tolerances using Multiple Response Optimization (MRO) Models. Thus, through fractional...
A historical improvement process was realized through the traditional drainage methods used in Almadén mines, such as use of hand winch or systems that human and animal power, until application first steam engine 1785. The solution significantly improved mine process, despite inconveniences caused by technological transfer steam, lack technical knowledge, inadequate materials consumables. to problem provided using electricity following periods. Although at a lower performance due indicated...
This paper explores sustainable fashion choices from a Stoic philosophical perspective. Ancient teachings can help us reexamine our relationship with clothes in the 21st century and provide direction for considerable number of people that are influenced by contemporary Stoicism. Stoicism provides clear justification living, given its call to live harmony Nature. Given environmental facts, Stoics would do well reduce size their wardrobe what is necessary functional. They should mindfully...
