A mild and efficient one-pot three-component and environmentally benign approach for the synthesis of a wide range of hydantoin annulated derivatives has been described. A multi-component reaction between a carbonyl compounds (ketone or aldehyde), potassium cyanide and ammonium carbonate (as cyanating agent and amine source, respectively leads to the formation of hydantoins. The proposed optimi...

It is widely recognised that for the green economy to develop successfully, new educational curricula will be required to help professionals develop appropriate knowledge and skills. Relatively few university courses have been developed to date that explicitly focus on the green economy, reflecting its recent origins. Here we present the lessons learned from developing and implementing a new Ma...

Rounded with a sleep.

high-resolution imagery such as ikonos satellite can produce useful information for many resource management applications. we investigated the capability of pan and multi spectral ikonos imagery of one region of tehran dated from 2005 in urban vegetation management and mapping of green cover. after data quality of images for radiometric noises, the images were geometrically corrected by polynom...

Recently Human Resources Management (HRM) functions such as recruitment, selection, training and performance evaluation are expected in considering environmental management (EM) issues. Environmental protective acts with adequate ecological knowledge and socioeconomic behavior and skills are referred to in this paper as green competencies. However, a systematic approach for developing and under...
