in this study we analyze the effects of environmental performance on the generation of firm value from dow jones sustainability index europe. we use a sample of 122 firms from different sectors, except financial one, which belong to this index for the years 2007 through 2009. the expected results, taking into account our hypotheses, should show a positive relationship between the generation of ...

bioretention or rain garden is a preferable low impact development (lid) approach due to its characteristics which reflect natural water cycle processes. however, this system is still little understood and quite complicated in terms of design and implementation due to many technical considerations. hence, this paper gives a review of the challenges and developments for the use of bioretention f...

conclusion significant functional performance deficits were observed in the fai group in all tests except single hop test with greater deficits observed in the fai-gw group. hence, these tests can be used to determine the presence of fai. however no deficits were identified for the test involving sagittal plane functional activities suggesting that this test can not be used as a criterion to di...

roots of helianthemum species were collected from various rangeland sites in fars, and other provinces in iran. the partial small subunits of ribosomal dna genes were amplified with the genomic dna extracted from their roots by nested polymerase chain reaction (pcr) using the universal fungal primer pair its1/its4 and specific primer pair ftc/rtc, which was designed based on internal transcribe...

The main objective of NA48 is the measurement of direct CP violation in neutral kaon decays. Useful data has been collected in the years 1997-1999 and two results based on ’97 and ’98 data have been presented [1] [2]. The very good performances of the detector together with a flexible trigger system allowed to accumulate also data useful for other kinds of analyses. An example is an hyperon tri...
