The focus on reducing emissions is creating a shift from a use phase perspective into a more holistic approach using a life cycle perspective.
We discuss uncertainties of long-term carbon offset including aspects of supply and demand, and more holistic approaches using LCAs.
Moreover, the estimation process could also be approached in a more holistic manner using ideas originating from the triangle inequality: if we know the typical travel times (t_{AB}) and (t_{BC}), it is likely that the typical travel time (t_{AC}) is smaller than or of the same order of magnitude as (t_{AB} + t_{BC}).
Furthermore, when a more holistic approach (using all available data points: 39,031 gene transcript values per sample) was employed to identify differentially regulated ontology bins, various defense related ontology bins were discovered.
In contrast to the economic logic, which dominated the initial NPM reforms, these new reforms apply a more holistic strategy, using insights from the other social sciences (Bogdanor 2005).
Selected practices should develop assessment of more holistic, complex activities using knowledge and skills in problem-solving or authentic tasks.
Two more holistic approaches are used to assess developmental toxicity: (1) the chick embryotoxicity screening test (CHEST) [76] and (2) the fish embryo toxicity (FET) test [77, 78].
For a more holistic approach we used the 2000-W/1-t CO2 society vision concept to compare the environmental performance of these solutions with that of embodied energy in buildings and transportation systems.
The participants gave examples to illustrate how they began to appreciate each person's individual situation in a more holistic way by using the effective communication strategies they acquired during the nursing education program.
This approach is sharply divergent from the increasing use of more holistic definitions of health and the use of broader measures of life expectancy, such as disability adjusted life years (DALYs), by health researchers and organizations (16).
