  • uterine spiral artery remodeling the role of uterine natural killer cells and extravillous trophoblasts in normal and high risk human pregnancies
    American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, 2015
    Co-Authors: Daniel Tessier, Julien Yockelllelievre, Andree Gruslin
    Abstract:

    : The process of uterine spiral artery remodeling in the first trimester of human pregnancy is an essential part of establishing adequate blood perfusion of the placenta that will allow optimal nutrient/Waste Exchange to meet fetal demands during later development. Key regulators of spiral artery remodeling are the uterine natural killer cells and the invasive extravillous trophoblasts. The functions of these cells as well as regulation of their activation states and temporal regulation of their localization within the uterine tissue are beginning to be known. In this review, we discuss the roles of these two cell lineages in arterial remodeling events, their interaction/influence on one another and the outcomes of altered temporal, and spatial regulation of these cells in pregnancy complications.

  • using an industrial Waste account to facilitate national level industrial symbioses by uncovering the Waste Exchange potential
    Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2015
    Co-Authors: Pi Cheng Che
    Abstract:

    The identification of potential by‐product Exchanges is important for fostering industrial symbiosis. To discover these potential Exchanges, this article extends the analysis of local industrial symbiosis to a national scale. A Waste input‐output table, which is a material flow accounting tool, was compiled and used as a database to examine the existing Exchanges of by‐products. The supplies and demands of industrial Wastes or by‐products were compared to highlight their potential use for promoting higher Exchange flows. The analysis of the linkages indicated that the majority of each of the by‐products were reused by the few industries that had the technology and operational capacity for reuse. This finding is useful for determining which industries are good candidates for promoting further industrial symbiosis (IS). Based on a nation‐wide analysis that considered the industrial characteristics of Taiwan comprehensively, 23 types of major by‐products with greater reuse flows and 216 potential Exchange patterns were identified between the industries. In addition, three types of eco‐industrial networks were characterized as follows according to their dominant types: (1) fossil fuel, metal, and mineral‐dominated; (2) agricultural and synthetic material‐dominated; and (3) information and communications technology (ICT) and chemical industry‐dominated eco‐industrial networks. This analysis highlights the resource Exchange potentials and provides information to new firms for networking with existing businesses.

  • environmental and economic gains of industrial symbiosis for chinese iron steel industry kawasaki s experience and practice in liuzhou and jinan
    Journal of Cleaner Production, 2013
    Co-Authors: Liang Dong, Hui Zhang, Tsuyoshi Fujita, Satoshi Ohnishi, Huiquan Li, Minoru Fujii, Huijuan Dong
    Abstract:

    With material and energy flow features, iron/steel industry has unique advantage in the industrial symbiosis (IS) formation to realize environmental and economic benefit simultaneously. The quantification of the scale and significance of IS benefits is valuable for IS promotion, while there is much few attention to it, especially in China. Under this circumstance, this paper evaluates and compares the number, scale and the related environmental/economic gains of IS activities in iron/steel-centered industrial areas in Liuzhou and Jinan in China, and Kawasaki in Japan. Results show that: in Liuzhou, there are three symbiosis activities between industries. The annual by-product/Waste Exchange is more than 2 million ton/y, gaining economic revenue more than 36.55 million USD for the iron/steel company. In Jinan, seven symbiotic links are between industries, and two are between urban community and iron/steel plant. The total by-product/Waste Exchange is over 8 million ton/y and the economic gains account to 158 million USD. In Kawasaki, iron/steel industry relates to four symbiotic links, the total by-product/Waste Exchange amount is about 500 kton/y, with the economic gains over 54 million USD. The form and the complexity of the IS network are different in the three cases. IS in Liuzhou and Jinan are with the features of large number and scale, but single types. While in Kawasaki, IS includes not only traditional Exchanges between iron/steel plant and the other industries, but also the innovative utilization of urban refuse by industrial area. Finally, from the perspective of technology, legislative framework and support policy, circular technology inventory, integrated Waste management system, information platform and national subsidies are needed to support the ever-improvement of IS promotion in China's iron/steel industry.
