Determining carbon dioxide footprint using data center simulators
… is to reduce CO2 emissions. To calculate the CO2 footprint of data centers, data center simulators are already used in their planning phases. Simulators provide operators with important information about the future data center and show room for improvement. This thesis deals with the calculation …

Tire Footprint Analysis Based on Image Processing Techniques
… passes over it during the test, to represent the footprint for a high slip ratio. From the image obtained with this system, the length, width, ratio, and shape of the patch can be determined, which are related to the effect on tire traction performance. This study specifically proposes a digital …

The Maya Footprint: Soil Resources of Chunchucmil, Yucatan, Mexico
<p>Agricultural yields in Northwest Yucatán are constrained by climate, thin soils, and low fertility. Despite this, the ancient Maya city of Chunchucmil Yucatán, Mexico, boasted an immense, dense, and wealthy population during the Middle Classic period (ca A.D. 400-700). Soil physical and chemical …

A classification of carbon footprint methods used by companies
The percent increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) concentration in the atmosphere can be harmful to the environment. There is no single preferred method for measuring GHG output. How can a company classify and choose an appropriate method? This thesis offers a classification of current methods used by …

Development of new ecological footprint techniques applicable to consumer electronics
In order to extend ecological footprint analysis (EFA) to electronic products, new methods had to be developed which associate the world average bioproductive space per capita and year - the fair Earth share - with an individual product. The problem analysed in this thesis is the need for an …

Streamlined carbon footprint computation : case studies in the food industry
One of the greatest barriers in product Carbon Footprinting is the large amount of time and effort required for data collection across the supply chain. Tesco's decision to downsize their carbon footprint project from the original plan of 70,000 house brand products to only a small fraction of them …

Reducing the global footprint in an anesthesia department : a quality improvement project
Volatile anesthetic agents are potent greenhouse gases with high global warming potential (GWP), long atmospheric lifespans, and significant contributions to perioperative emissions. Despite scavenging systems, a significant portion of these agents are released into the environment, with Desflurane …
