New Environmental Sciences Alerts at ScienceAlerts.com


Bangkok, Thailand (PRWEB) April 19, 2012

ScienceAlerts.com is a Web 2.0 social network to discover and share scholarly content in in the basic and applied sciences of agriculture, biology, environment, forestry, geography and health. While this new website has been operating on an on-invitation only basis for some time, it went fully online on Tuesday, February 28, 2012. 17,757 members have signed up and actively contribute content to the site which is also accessible through several ScienceAlerts.com RSS feeds. The new Environmental Sciences category currently features 34,807 stories largely derived from 98 scientific environment publishing sources.

ScienceAlerts.com’s Environmental Sciences Category covers the external physical conditions affecting growth, development, and survival of organisms, and their management. It currently contains 34,807 stories partly derived from 98 scholarly environment journals. This category also provides an Environmental Sciences RSS feed which is one of the best and most popular ways of staying up to date with the latest research in this science discipline. One of the latest articles examines methods for analyzing allocation in life cycle assessment (LCA). While presenting the state of the debate on the topic and some hypothetical examples for illustration, the authors conclude that the allocation procedure has to be selected on a case-by-case basis and no single approach is suitable for every situation. The option of economic allocation should, however, be considered, e.g., whenever the prices of co-products and co-services differ widely. Another article presents a systematic review and harmonization of life cycle assessment (LCA) literature of nuclear electricity generation technologies to determine causes of variability in estimates of life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to clarify the state of knowledge and inform decision making. The authors screened 274 references yielded 27 that reported 99 independent estimates of life cycle GHG emissions from light water reactors (LWRs). The published median, interquartile range (IQR), and range for the pool of LWR life cycle GHG emission estimates were 13, 23, and 220 grams of carbon dioxide equivalent per kilowatt-hour (g CO2-eq/kWh) and depending on conditions, median life cycle GHG emissions could be 9 to 110 g CO2-eq/kWh by 2050.

Besides the Environmental Sciences category, ScienceAlerts.com contains an Agricultural Sciences Category which covers the cultivation and production of crops, raising of livestock, and postharvest processing of natural products. ScienceAlerts.com’s Biological Sciences Category covers life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, origin, genetics, and distribution while it’s Forestry Sciences Category presents the cultivation, maintenance, and development of forests. ScienceAlerts.com’s Geographical Sciences Category covers the physical characteristics of the earth including its surface features, and the distribution of life on earth, and that of the Health Sciences aggregates the effects of disease and medical treatment on the overall condition of organisms.

Demolition Division Re-Launched by Alliance Environmental Group, Inc.


Azusa, CA (PRWEB) May 11, 2011

Alliance Environmental Group, Inc., (Alliance) recently announced the re-launch of their structural demolition division. Originally established in 2004, the division has completed hundreds of demolition projects throughout California.

In 2010, we took a hard look at the industry, the effect the flat economy was having on business, and made some major decisions in re-tooling the division, says Joe McLean, CEO of Alliance. In order to remain competitive and offer the quality of service we are known for, fundamental changes needed to be made.

One of the major changes made involved bringing in Rick Bradley to head the division, continued McLean. Bradley has been in the construction industry for more than 13 years and has done it all. If you know how something is built, you have a better idea of how to demolish it, says Bradley, (Demolition Operations Manager). Sometimes bigger is just better, says Bradley. We needed to migrate from using small equipment like bob cats and backhoes, to larger equipment like Excavators. Additionally, and this is an important distinction between Alliance and a lot of other companies, stressed Bradley, our workers are qualified, trained and licensed to run the equipment to ensure the protection of your investment.

Alliance prides themselves on their outstanding safety record, their commitment to environmental stewardship, the high level of productivity of their skilled workforce and the three Rs Reduce, Re-use and Recycle. The company strives to be as green as possible. Before a demolition begins, Alliance salvages what they can including copper wire, insulation and furnishings. Each demolition process should meet the clients specifications and needs, while at the same time creating options that offer sound environmental solutions.

Alliance provides a comprehensive range of demolition services in conjunction with abatement services.

BBH Solutions CEO: Environmental Benefits of Cloud Computing More Apparent Amid Business Owners" Concerns Over IT-Related Energy Costs

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 28, 2011

Bruce Hoernecke, President and CEO of BBH Solutions, Inc. says that more businesses are realizing the energy saving and environmental benefits of cloud computing. Mr. Hoernecke says that recent concerns over the volatile energy market and the costs associated with delivering power and cooling to on-premise data centers, coupled with environmental consciousness are leading the way to adoption of cloud technologies.

Cloud computing allows businesses to leverage the secure and powerful resources of a service provider to host their voice, data, and video applications and data storage. These technologies are then delivered to the customers end users on demand, or as-a-service. Cloud subscribers can access email, office productivity suites, CRM, and video conferencing from anywhere with a secure internet connection. Cloud computing solutions offer security, high availability, continuity of business, and predictable monthly costs for technology applications.

Business owners are concerned about the cost of maintaining on-premise data centers, says Mr. Hoernecke. They recognize that when they reduce their data center footprint by moving to the cloud, the requirements for additional dedicated electric circuits, cooling, and battery backup decrease as well. It just makes good financial sense, and theres the added bonus of reducing their corporate carbon footprints.

Recent studies and press coverage on the cloud have helped get the message out. Weve seen a growing trend in awareness among our customers of the environmental benefits of cloud computing and hosting.

A 2010 study by Accenture and WSP Environment and Energy(1) found that a 100 person company with applications deployed in the cloud can reduce energy consumption and emissions by more than 90 percent. The study estimates that if all US companies with 100 to 10,000 employees were using on-premise Microsoft Exchange servers and made the change to cloud-hosted Exchange, the resulting reduction in carbon emissions would be equivalent to that of taking 100,000 cars permanently off the road.

BBH Solutions launched its Cloud Integration Services program earlier this year, which is designed to help businesses transition from premise-based IT infrastructure to the cloud. The program offers hosted business applications such as Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Office, hosted Cisco Unified Communications Manager, and videoconferencing. Their staff will conduct a full technology needs assessment, write a project plan, and provide services for a seamless migration to The Cloud.

Cloud customers benefit from the economies of scale associated with their providers data center, says Mr. Hoernecke. Were capable of balancing server functionality and storage space precisely to the needs of the end users. Additionally, the power and cooling technologies are optimized for our Network Operations Center (NOC), which is dedicated solely for housing storage and server equipment.

This category also provides an Environmental Sciences RSS feed which is one of the best and most popular ways of staying up to date with the latest news in this science discipline. One of the latest articles compares the performance of anaerobic reactors for treatment of sago industry wastewater. Sago effluents from cassava starch production pose a serious threat to the environment and quality of life in rural areas of India. According the the article’s authors, anaerobic digestion has proved to be an effective method of treating the sago industry wastewater with simultaneous production of energy in the form of methane. Another newly included article presents a case study on conservation of socioculturally important local crop biodiversity in the Oromia region of Ethiopia. The authors surveyed diversity in a range of local crops in the Lume and Gimbichu districts of Ethiopia, combined with the knowledge of local people regarding crop uses, socio-economic importance, conservation, management and existing threats. Introduction of improved wheat varieties, pest infestation, shortage of land, low yield performance and climate variability were identified as the principal factors contributing to the loss or decline of crop biodiversity in this region of Ethiopia. The category also features an article which analyzes the relationship between a firms greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and its profitability in Japanese manufacturing. The authors conclude that although ISO 141 adoption is generally considered to be an indicator of a firms stance on environmental proactiveness, it does not provide a sufficient incentive to reduce emissions.
