Agroforestry for Ecosystem Services and Environmental Benefits
ISBN: 9789048133222 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Agroforestry systems are believed to provide a number of ecosystem services; however, until recently evidence in the agroforestry literature supporting these perceived benefits has been lacking. This volume brings together a series of papers from around the globe to address recent findings on the ecosystem services and environmental benefits provided by agroforestry. Specifically, this volume examines four major ecosystem services and environmental benefits: (1) carbon sequestration, (2) biodiversity conservation, (3) soil enrichment and (4) air and water quality. Past and present evidence... Agroforestry systems are believed to provide a number of ecosystem services; however, until recently evidence in the agroforestry literature suppor... |

Ultrasonic Control of Ceramic Membrane Fouling
ISBN: 9783639209051 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Membrane processes are of increased interest in water and wastewater treatment, food, biotechnological, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, because of their versatility and effectiveness. However, a common problem encountered during the application of membrane filtration is membrane fouling. Membrane fouling results in increased operating costs due to the higher pressures required to maintain permeate flux, the time and materials needed for membrane cleaning, and membrane replacement. This study systematically investigated the mechanism and efficiency of an innovative ultrasonic...

Assessment of Environmental Flows for the ThaChin River, Thailand
ISBN: 9783639200430 / Angielski / Miękka / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Now a day all over the world, environmental flows are being assessed for an increasing number of rivers. There has been a progressive evolution of methodologies, ranging from simple hydrological indices to complex, holistic procedures for assessing the EFRs of riverine ecosystems, in which not only the ecological water needs are assessed, yet where also the local demands of human communities along the river are taken into account. In water allocation decision-making process, the interests of the people living along the rivers are often neglected (Meijer, 2003). Possible reasons for this...

ISBN: 9783639205329 / Angielski / Miękka / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Environmental, energy and climate policies need fresh reflections. In order to evaluate toxics reduction policies the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants is mandatory. Denmarks function as lead country for dioxin research in the context of the OSPAR Convention is contrasted with a climate policy whose goals of CO2-reduction were made operational by green-wash. Arguments are given for the devaluation of CO2-neutrality in case of burning wood. Alternative practices as storing C in high quality wood products and/or leaving wood in the forests are recommended. A...

Human Exposure to Pollutants via Dermal Absorption and Inhalation
ISBN: 9789048186624 / Angielski / Twarda / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Estimates of the air pollution health impact play a crucial role in environmental protection. These estimates require accurate data on the pollutant exposure and dose to the population as well as the dose-response relationships to calculate the health impact. From an air quality manager's perspective there is concern about the validity and accuracy of these calculations. There is a need for information and possible ways to adjust the assessment. One important topic for air quality managers is to understand the relative cont- bution of sources to the total exposure. These sources may be coming...
