Tourism is viewed increasingly as an essential sector to local, regional and national reconstruction and development for economies at various scales. However, its contribution on environmental quality degradation is more important. Indeed, any increase in the number of tourism requires amounts...

This paper examines the long run and causal relationship issues between economic growth, energy consumption and carbon emissions by using vector error correction model for the case of Tunisia within 1970-2010. Empirical results using time series data suggest an evidence of a long-run...

Density in sensor networks often causes data redundancy, which is often the origin of high energy consumption. Data collection techniques are proposed to avoid retransmission of the same data by several sensors. In this paper, the authors propose a new data collection strategy based on static...

In order to implement IoT-based health-care for improved quality of life, we have to deal with sensor and communication technologies. In this article, the authors propose an approach to analyse real-time data streaming from a patient's surface body sensors, which are to be looked upon in a small...

Cloud computing is one of emerging computing models that has many advantages. The IT industry is keenly aware of the need for Green Cloud computing solutions that save energy for the environment as well as reduce operational costs. This article presents a new green Cloud Computing framework...

Distillation is one of the most widely used separation units that consumes the largest amount of energy in chemical and petrochemical industries. Heat integration of thermally coupled distillation column is one of the methods to reduce energy-consumption. This paper provides a comparison between...

The purpose of this article is evaluating the effect of renewable energy on economy growth. Therefore, the production function has been examined in OPEC members in 2012-2016 using the dynamic board data based on energy consumption. The results reveal that among variables, the existence of...
