The history of the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) is given in brief. A summary is provided of the plans for the Fourth Meeting of the CSD and of international conferences and activities related to sustainable development. Specific conference topics were consumption patterns, financial resources, the integration of environmental and development issues into decision making, informa...

This paper describes what the Wellcome Trust has done and aims to do through its population initiative. The Trust is required to spend its funds to improve the physical welfare of mankind, and in this context there can be no more important issue than the rapid changes that are occurring in the human population. The Trust's first involvement was to help fund the New Delhi population summit cover...

The aim of this paper was to assess the use and consistency time concept in sustainable consumption context. In field, is generally defined as a limited resource, such money, which allocated activities understood by that it to. We assessed subject matter reviewed articles verify how conceptualized used consumption. During analysis, we six categories: time-use, use, time-related rebound effects,...

In this paper, we study N-policy for a finite population Bernoulli feedback queueing model for machine repair problem with degraded failure. The running times of the machines between breakdowns have an exponential distribution. The repair times of the machines are independent and identically distributed random variables. If at any time a machine fails, it is sent to the repairman for repairing,...

  Purpose: Mesh technique is the standard for inguinal hernia repair because of less recurrence,   but it is inferior or equal to sutured technique in case of other post-operative complications   such as chronic pain. This clinical trial set out to compare these two techniques.   Materials and Methods: A total number of 322 cases of unilateral inguinal hernia in participants   older than 18 yea...

introduction: the low regeneration of bone in defective bones causes therapeutic problems. various strategies to assess the healing of bone defects have been used which they include histological and histo-chemical analysis in an invasive study. the purpose of this study was to determine the ultrasonic parameters of bone as a promising noninvasive technology for assessing bone repair process. ma...

An Organic Embedded System (OES) architecture is developed for sustainable performance using SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), an Organic Computing (OC) observer/controller organization, and regeneration with Genetic Operators. Innovations include availability during online regeneration, aging and outlier driven repair assessment, and a uniform design for Autonomic Elements (AE...

The aim this study to compare standard neonatal cleft repair. Method Advanced literature searches were carried out using Medline ALL (1946 date) Embase (1974 date), 11 articles deeme...

obviously, learning environment plays a crucial role in how second language or a foreign language is learned. in this regard, the importance of interaction for l2 learning has been emphasized. the current study investigated teachers' interactional moves (im) and learners' uptake in efl classrooms systematically. to meet this end, four efl contexts of speaking and listening courses for...
