Through using the activity-based costing to calculate the actual cost and the budget cost...

Corn Stalk (CS) modified by urea and microwave was investigated as an adsorbent for Pb( ) removal from aqueous solution. The preparing parameters on mass percent gain of Modified Corn Stalk (MCS) are analyzed using response surface methodology (RSM).The effects of PH and MCS dose on the Pb ( ) removal...

Wheat Straw Cellulose (WSC) modified by diethylenetriamine was investigated as an adsorbent for Cd(II) removal from aqueous solution. The preparing parameters on preparation of Polyamine Wheat Straw Cellulose (PWSC) were optimized. The effects of pH, adsorbent dose, contact time and initial concentration...

CTA-based membranes for forward osmosis (FO) were prepared by immersion precipitation. Casting composition and coagulation conditions—solvent/acetone ratio, temperature, evaporation time of coagulation bath—were optimized to obtain membranes with best performance. Membranes were characterized by various...

Based on the Shenzhen Bay Bridge which is located at the center of park cultural landscape, so it has important requirements of improving environments , protecting the environment and beautifying the environment. the bridge is optimal designed to be a flying swallow type curve special-shaped composite...

We, firstly, collect the energy consumption (EC) of Shanghai and compute its co2 emission (CE). Then, we use three kinds’ indexes (urban size, traffic infrastructure, and compactness) to analyze the relationship between city’s form and its CE based on the Partial Least Squares (PLS) and the Hierarchical...

In order to grasp the main factors of the inventory cost of an engineering project supply chain ,the causal relationship diagrams and system dynamics model of the inventory management of an engineering project supply chain are built according to the actual construction .Then using system dynamics simulation...

To strengthen environmental protection, the implementation of ecological sustainable development is the theme of our human development, which leads to the formation of sustainable development concept of green building. This paper firstly introduces the green building system, and then analyzes the energy...

A study on distribution characters of initial stress in the condition of gravity effect in the slopes within alp of which the slope angles poses 30° 45° 60° respectively were conducted by numerical analysis. After comparison, it is found that when closing to the region of slope surface, the difference...

Based on the background of landscape research, taking the form of landscape environment as the breakthrough point, this paper puts forward the design model of ecological and environment-friendly building in mountain region.
