	abstract = {Decision concerning manufacturing process design and management, under sustainable constraints, are difficult to draw
when taking into account variability of process conditions. Life-cycle analysis and exergetic analysis are even more jointly adopted
to improve the accuracy of resource use efficiency – the so-called hybrid approach – even though these are based on the assumption
of constant operating conditions.
The paper discussed a new idea to take into account variability in hybrid exergetic LCA due to contingent conditions, by
proposing an exergetic control-chart (ExCC) scheme to formalise the variable conditions. The idea behind the ExCC approach is
that manufacturing sustainability analysis may change its outcomes when taking into account this ‘dynamic’ point of view.
The control-charting scheme here proposed provides a mean to formalise explicitly the effects of variability in time, under
the real operating conditions. The main advantage of the approach is to allow a more complete view of the process and to drive
hints for improvements or innovations of processes. A real industrial case here presented of an Italian SME explains the
potentialities of the idea as well as the limits of the current hybrid approaches available.},

	volume = {Available online 19 February 2016},
	abstract = {LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) is nowadays a commonly implemented approach for evaluating resource consumptions and for benchmarking purposes. It suffers some limitations, mainly related to its assumptions on linear resource -consumption behaviour as well as on the non-context specific data. On the other hand, it is an extremely powerful tool for decision-making support in the sustainability assessment of manufacturing processes, providing its well-structured approach and widely accepted procedure. Deepening the assessment capabilities of such a tool is thus an important opportunity.

This paper is intended to build upon this concept by proposing an improved approach consisting in supplying in-process information concerning energy consumption and other process state conditions through thermography. The case of an Italian industrial company producing HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) nets for agriculture is taken as test bed case to show pros and cons of this idea. Actually, this approach resulted into a better assessment of the sustainability profile of the whole production process in terms of energy consumptions and environmental impacts. This in turn became an updated management tool for real-time decision making closer to the real conditions.},

	abstract = {Storage systems are becoming one of the most critical components in the energy management, mainly due to the discontinuity characteristics of renewable sources.
Redox flow batteries (RFB) are one of the most promising technologies as electrochemical energy storage system, because of the independence of energy and power rating, fast response, room temperature operation, and extremely long life.  It is susceptible of a strong increase of its use in the next future, in particular in combination to a wide range of renewable energy sources (e.g. solar, eolic, tidal). Key factors such as the energy density and the operating temperature range depend on the properties of the battery electrolyte. 
This promising feature brings new questions to solve: the sustainability is one of the most critical to be faced. In this work, the vanadium electrolyte environmental sustainability is analyzed. Electrolyte is one of the most important component of the battery, having a strong impact particularly on its use.
A comparative LCA analysis is performed to appreciate its potentialities for domestic use under safety conditions, providing some useful indication on its drawbacks.},

	abstract = {The knowledge reuse and mapping are among the most important concerns related to the design knowledge representation. In this paper, authors focus on the importance of one specific property of a design knowledge representation: the unambiguity. Authors show (1) how the ambiguity of the representation can increase the risk of a failure in the reuse and mapping processes, (2) how most of works in the literature use formal logic constructs and finally (3) how the use of these can increase the risk of ambiguity. On the basis of these remarks, an overview on the works on the anti-logicist architecture is provided: the systems based on this architecture show an intelligent behaviour without using logic constructs. An analysis and a transposition of the anti-logicist principles are then performed to build a framework allowing to represent design knowledge without logic constructs. To do so (1) main concepts are formalised in a conceptual model; (2) an algorithm has been designed to map pieces of knowledge based only on the representation syntax; (3) two instantiations of the framework are showed using a CAD instantiation. Finally, the limits of the current deployment of the framework and the research perspectives are discussed.},

A farsighted diversified yearly mix of energies was suggested to countries, aiming at increasing security of supply and efficiency, but a systemic view of energy exchanges between states is still missing. Energy import/export exchanges between European States suggest that economic/political relations between countries cause unpredictable behaviors for the European energy exchange network. This network is herein investigated from a modeling point of view. European annual exchanges of energy appear to present Small World phenomena, when supposing that connections between States are characterized by probability values depending on economic/political relations between countries.},

	volume = {51},
	abstract = {Many authorities have reached the conclusion that using fossil fuels, as the main source of energy to satisfy the increasing global energy demand, is ultimately unsustainable. This is because of depleting resources, and also because, if this approach is followed, emissions of carbon dioxide would continue to build up. Consequently, research on biofuel, that is fuel made from biomass, derived from materials that were recently living, has attracted attention. In this context, the generation of biofuels from algae shows promise for the following reasons. The algae can be grown quickly, all the materials produced are non-toxic and biodegradable, and during this growth there is an opportunity to cause greenhouse gas fixation. Also, since growing algae does not need arable land, it can be grown without competing with food or feed crops, the fuel derived from it being a “third generation” biofuel.

This paper describes different types of algae (microalgae and seaweeds), and presents different technologies employed in making biofuels (biogas and biodiesel) from them.},

a versatile support for catalyst immobilization, since they are inexpensive,
non-toxic, chemically stable, and easily prepared from low-cost precursors [5]. It is well-established that
the magnetic properties of nanoparticles are strongly dependent on their size and shape. For example,
magnetic nanoparticles with non spherical shapes showed interesting anisotropic magnetic properties 
[6]. In this contribution, a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method for the synthesis of size and shape-
controlled magnetite nanoparticles to be used as catalyst support was described. The syntheses were
carried out also using oleic acid, polyvinylpyrrolidone and trisodium citrate as surfactants in order to
investigate their effect on the size distribution, the morphology and the functionalization of the magnetite

nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared, Thermogravimetric, Transmission
Electron Microscopy analyses were performed to characterize the chemical and morphological features
of the nanoparticles. On the basis of the different reaction conditions, the synthesis could be directed
towards the formation of either hexagonal magnetite nanoplates with diagonal of 139±55 nm and a
saturation magnetization of 65 emu/g or irregular octahedron nanoparticles with size of 60±25 nm with
higher saturation magnetization up to 80 emu/g. The latter material is therefore promising for applications
as transportable catalyst support.},

design and innovation. Actually, as energy and natural resources become scarcer and more expensive,
and as climate change becomes a growing concern, companies are investing in eco-friendly products and
technologies. A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is here applied to assess sustainability of a PVC window
by relating it to the window size. Two functional units were thus considered to evaluate the quality of the
environmental impacts expressed in terms of Carbon Footprint: per piece and per square meter of seethrough
surface. It resulted that at the change of the type of window the sustainability impact value per
square meter changes considerably. We therefore propose a new criterion of the analysis to provide a
reliable assessment approach that can be used in the evaluation of the environmental performance of
buildings. Test has been carried out on several samples of windows to prove the soundness of the
approach. The sustainability of window can also be assessed with reference to the requirements of the
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), one of the most used Environmental
Sustainability Assessment for Buildings. LEED is not an environmental label for products, but products
can help the building to obtain the certification; so it is important to evaluate the performance of the
windows related to the sustainability of the building and to inform consumers in order to facilitate their
use in projects spreading environmental sustainability certification for buildings.},
