Applying Ecologically Based Invasive-Plant Management

Ecologically sustainable tourism management

One of the primary challenges facing ecotourism management is to establish a profitable and ecologically sustainable industry, while simultaneously achieving a satisfying experience for visitors and raising standards of living in the host community. This paper analyses the management practices and challenges faced by two ecotourism attractions on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, namely ...

Review of Ecologically-Based Pest Management in California Vineyards

Grape growers in California utilize a variety of biological, cultural, and chemical approaches for the management of insect and mite pests in vineyards. This combination of strategies falls within the integrated pest management (IPM) framework, which is considered to be the dominant pest management paradigm in vineyards. While the adoption of IPM has led to notable and significant reductions in...

Ecologically-based Granular Synthesis

We present a granular synthesis (GS) technique that produces environmental-like sounds using sampled sound grains and meso-time control functions. This approach is related to physical modeling (PM) (Smith, 1992; VŠlimŠki & Takala, 1996) and traditional granular synthesis (GS) (Roads, 1996, 299; Truax, 1988) but we have worked on two issues that have been previously neglected in these techniques...
