Impact mitigation is a primary mechanism on which countries rely to reduce environmental externalities and balance development with conservation. Mitigation policies are transitioning from traditional project-by-project planning to landscape-level planning. Although this larger-scale approach is expected to provide greater conservation benefits at the lowest cost, empirical justification is sti...

A case study of Denver, Colorado explores the roles of three social actors-individual users, infrastructure designer-operators, and policy actors-in near-term greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation in U.S. cities. Energy efficiency, renewable energy, urban design, price- and behavioral-feedback strategies are evaluated across buildings-facilities, transportation, and materials/waste sectors in cities,...

The technology of power electronics has gone through rapid technological advancement during the last four decades, and recently, its applications are fast expanding in industrial, commercial, residential, military and utility environments. In the global industrial automation, energy conservation and environmental pollution control trends of the 21st century, the widespread impact of power elect...

Professor Sir George Lindor Brown (1903-1971) is known for his pioneering research into cholinergic neuromuscular transmission. However, during World War II he worked in hyperbaric physiology, and his research into underwater physiology greatly improved the safety of divers. It is perhaps fitting, therefore, that this review, which accompanies the Physiological Society's G. L. Brown Prize Lectu...

The objective of this study was to find out the impact of environmental conditions on the survival of intestinal parasites on environmental surfaces commonly implicated in the transmission of these parasites. The study was performed by incubating Cryptosporidium and Giardia (oo)cysts on environmentally relevant surfaces such as brushed stainless steel, formica, ceramic, fabric, and skin. Parall...

The manufacturing sector is the backbone for development of an economy. Numerous studies investigated impact aggregative energy consumption on environmental degradation by using typical econometric techniques. To correct this gap, our study uses and only in Pakistan period 1985 to 2018. Our also demonstrates symmetric asymmetric behaviour with carbon emissions a recently developed methodology S...

Abstract Mathematical programming is used to examine the economic potential of greenhouse gas mitigation strategies in U.S. agriculture and forestry. Mitigation practices are entered into a spatially differentiated sector model and are jointly assessed with conventional agricultural production. Competition among practices is examined under a wide range of hypothetical carbon prices. Simulation ...

The environmental impact assessment process (EIA) for projects, programs, concepts and the financial assistance was approved officially for the first time in 1969 by the law on national environmental policy accepted in the USA. The mentioned process was developed through the legal directive of the Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) in 1985, by which the minimum requirements to the EIA were es...
