While a number of technical developments have allowed for the minimization of resource consumption, little research has addressed the response of occupants to such facilities, or the degree to which success in reaching sustainability goals is dependent on user behavior.
The field of ESOP minimization has received considerable attention along the years and a great number of research works can be found in the literature, in contrast to the ESCT minimization problem with much fewer works addressing it.
Changes in the focus of research, improvements in laboratory techniques, and greater emphasis on waste minimization (volume and toxicity reduction) explain the declining trend in generation.
Further research aspects were the minimization of the formation of byproducts and the optimization of the reactions yields, required for an improvement of the industrial azo dye synthesis.
This research aimed to investigate the minimization of the scour hole around a bridge pile, experimentally.
In this research, three optimization problems including minimization of the mean compliance considering a certain amount of material, minimization of weight with avoiding local stress concentration as well as minimization of weight and strain energy under local stress constraints are dealt with.
Although newer statistical techniques allow analysis of data with missing data points, minimization of attrition still remains important for drawing valid research conclusions [ 9].
A primary research focus should be on minimization of harm rather than optimization of benefit, a subtle but important shift in approach.
In connection to this, minimization of hardware complexity of digital filter has grown sufficient interest amongst the research community.
As much previous research has presented the merit of AND EXOR logic for its high density and testability, this research is the first application of the GRM (a canonical AND EXOR form) to the minimization of incompletely specified data.
