Senior author and MIT professor David Karger says that Squadbox aims to make this so - called «friend - sourcing» more efficient and less work for its moderators.

It lays out an initial strategy to reduce emissions by encouraging shipping companies to make their ship designs more energy efficient, use alternative fuels or energy sources and streamline operations so that they consume less energy.

One of my worst fears is that the industrial world will turn to less efficient fossil fuel sources to maintain current levels of economic activity resulting in an accelerated release of CO2.

Because of this, fatty fish like salmon is a much better source of EPA and DHA than flax, especially for the older people among us, because the conversion becomes even less efficient with age.

However, as we get keto - adapted, when we start to utilize ketones as an energy source, the brain gets much more effective and efficient, and it needs less of the sugar.

I don't doubt that I could learn many things from him, and the video clip that was suggested is interesting, but because I'd have to check his facts and inferences extra carefully, and because the lectures don't do a particularly good job of citing primary source material, the learning process would likely be much less efficient.

But building our own amino acids is much less efficient than consuming them from foods, and scientists believe that we probably can't make proline or glycine efficiently enough to keep up with our body's demand in the absence of dietary sources.

If the schools of the future invest in heat pump systems they should consequently provide more energy efficient operation, generate less CO2 and utilise heat from renewable sources thus addressing most of the green agenda.

Some might argue that this chunky powerplant, whether turbocharged in a Bentley or naturally aspirated in an Audi A8, is a decadent anachronism and has, in any case, been usurped for relevance in the modern world by the more efficient and cleaner Audi - sourced V8 that powers slightly less costly Conti GTs and GTCs.

This is possible because electronic paper technology is extremely energy efficient, using very little power, with additional power optimizations making the e-paper signs even less dependent on traditional power sources.

When businesses need someone to manage their supply - chain, they naturally turn to a company like C.H. Robinson, which has the connections and the network to source less expensive, more efficient shipping for its customers.

However, recent trends in outstandings and volume indicate that consumers increasingly see their credit cards as an efficient, convenient and more rewarding payment method, and less simply as an easy source of credit.

Compared to sending goods long distances by truck or airplane is far less efficient than sending them by ship, and on the level of an individual product the emissions not that great, in the aggregate shipping is a major source of emissions — about 3 % of global emissions in fact.

There will be an offset in that personal computers will use less energy and it is more efficient to centralize that energy use in a server farm, but Google is and will continue to be a major consumer of electricity and anything they can do to ensure a continuous and reasonably priced source of such energy is definitely within their interests.

One of my worst fears is that the industrial world will turn to less efficient fossil fuel sources to maintain current levels of economic activity resulting in an accelerated release of CO2.

Here a more urban life is matched with efficient clean energy sources, less driving in more efficient cars, better building technology and green utilities.

In order to decrease carbon emissions, countries essentially only have four options: reducing their population, cutting back economic activity, taking positive steps to increase energy efficient technologies, or expanding the role of less carbon intensive energy sources.

Global emission growth patterns are already changing — reflecting the more widespread use of energy - efficient technologies and less carbon - intensive energy sources.

And in every case, it was determined that using these sources to create electricity for PHEVs was more efficient and created less total greenhouse gases (GHGs), volatile organic compounds (VOC), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), fine particulate (PM2.5) and sulfur oxides (SOx).

According to the same source, Honda will probably continue to make the Insight hybrid even though sales are very slow (less than 100 per month) for the bragging right of having the most fuel efficient hybrid (though it's arguable that the Toyota Prius is relatively more efficient if you consider that it is heavier, roomier, more powerful and doesn't use as much expensive aluminum to reduce weight).

Quickly shifting to smaller families, moving down the food chain either by consuming less animal protein or by turning to more grain - efficient animal protein sources, and removing the incentives for converting food into fuel will help ensure that everyone has enough to eat.

Cutting edge data centers of the future will require less of a physical human presence, and are likely to: â $ cents Rely on a VIL to optimize equipment management and provide for virtual remote control capable of instant changes, switches and adds â $ cents Achieve LEED certification for the physical building â $ cents Rely on more efficient water cooling that potentially takes advantage of an on - site tower to chill water for cooling the system (thus reducing energy consumption by using nature's natural cooling power to chill water) â $ cents Use fluid dynamics models to precisely design the interior of the building to maximize the efficiency of the HV / AC system for air - cooled computing systems â $ cents Tap into a mixed energy grid that relies on green energy sources such as solar, wind or hydroelectric (depending on geographic feasibility), along with a reliable city grid thus avoiding the need for the standard back - up Uninterruptible Power Supply (which will reduce equipment costs, minimize floor space used, and increase energy efficiency because systems that employ a UPS convert AC to DC and back, incurring substantial energy losses).

The combination of solar and energy efficiency is at the heart of what the Department of Energy calls «Zero Energy Buildings» or ZEBs, defined as «an energy - efficient building where, on a source energy basis, the actual annual delivered energy is less than or equal to the on - site renewable exported energy.»

Big energy players are now cutting their ties to non-renewable energy sources (oil, gas, coal, and fossil fuels) and are taking a 180 - degree turn to focus more on other means for renewable energy (such as wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, and hydropower) that are highly sustainable, cost - efficient, and less damaging to the environment.

While many large departments look to legal ops teams for efficiency and ideas for doing more with in - sourced resources that cost less money than law firms, that's a strategy that places their teams in direct competition with ALSPs, which can effectively demonstrate to executive management that they offer less expensive and more flexible outsourcing arrangements that provide more efficient, agile and effective solutions for cost conscious companies.
