Thermoacoustics is the study of the thermoacoustic effect and the attempt to harness the effect as a useful heat engine. A thermoacoustic refrigerator uses the thermoacoustic effect to move heat with sound. … Thermoacoustic refrigerators … use inert gasses which are both readily available, inexhaustible, and completely environmentally benign! And, because they can utilize waste heat as an energy source, they are extremely environmentally friendly. In addition, since thermoacoustic refrigerators do not use the compressors, lubricants, sliding seals, and other gizmos present in vapor compression refrigerators, the thermoacoustic refrigerator should be more reliable. In fact, a heat driven refrigerator does not need any moving parts in the refrigeration cycle! Finally, since thermoacoustic systems tend to work at higher frequencies and at single frequencies, noise and vibration control is actually easier than for a conventional refrigerator - so thermoacoustic refrigerators should be even quieter than the refrigerators of today. 1, record 9, English, - thermoacoustic%20refrigerator

In light of my research, I have formulated an imperative of a sustainable consumer. It is expressed by four principles of a sustainable consumption. The principles are: [1] Selection: select service or product and choose environment-friendly one. [2] Minimization: minimize the range of the consumption. [3] Maximization: maximize functionality and extend life of the product. [4] Segregation: segregate and recollect the waste for recycling/reuse. 2, record 12, English, - sustainable%20consumer

Pour cueillir les données relatives aux composantes biotiques et abiotiques du milieu forestier, le Québec effectue notamment des inventaires écologiques, aux fins desquels il distingue quatre niveaux de perception : la région écologique, le district écologique, le type écologique et le type forestier. [...] Le type écologique correspond à une portion du district écologique où les caractéristiques pédologiques sont relativement uniformes et où la végétation évolue de façon particulière. On présente le type écologique sur des cartes à l'échelle 1/20000, sur lesquelles on décrit la nature et l'épaisseur du dépôt, le drainage et la pente. La végétation y est désignée par le nom du groupement écologique stable caractéristique du site(végétation potentielle). 2, record 13, French, - type%20%C3%A9cologique

Monsoon in tropical countries can cause severe land erosion and, as a consequence, high turbidity in streams and rivers. Pelletization process is known to remove turbidity at very high efficiency and with smaller reactors as well as reduced capital and operation costs... The pellets, formed by sufficient agitation in the reaction zone, are very compact and dense, and thereby possess high settling velocity. 2, record 14, English, - pelletization%20process
