Eco-P colonies are constructed as natural extension of P colonies with dynamical evolution of environment. P colonies are one of the kind of computational models based on independent autonomous agents represented by membrane systems working and evolving in a shared environment. These acts are based on the set of program associated with every agent. There are two types of agents in eco-P colonie...

We compared growth, leaf gas exchange characteristics, water relations, chlorophyll fluorescence, and Na(+) and Cl(-) concentration of two cultivars ('Koroneiki' and 'Picual') of olive (Olea europaea L.) trees in response to high salinity (NaCl 100mM) and elevated CO(2) (eCO(2)) concentration (700microLL(-1)). The cultivar 'Koroneiki' is considered to be more salt sensitive than the relatively ...

BACKGROUND COPD is largely under-diagnosed and once diagnosed usually at a late stage. Early diagnosis is thoroughly recommended but most attempts failed as the disease is marginally known and screening marginally accepted. It is a rare cause of concern in primary care and spirometry is not very common. Exhaled carbon monoxide (eCO) is a 5-seconds easy-to-use device dedicated to monitor cigaret...

Eco-certification has become an increasingly popular market-based tool in the endeavor to reduce negative environmental impacts from fisheries and aquaculture. In this study, we aimed at investigating which psychological consumer characteristics influence demand for eco-labeled seafood by correlating consumers’ stated purchasing of eco-labeled seafood to nine variables: environmental knowledge ...

In this study, individuals’ levels of personal responsibility and actual behavior towards protecting the environment were studied to examine the effects both these variables would have on the individuals’ environmental guilt or “eco-guilt.” The research measured 95 participants’ personal eco-guilt through surveys. Half received a manipulation that was used to make them feel responsible for thei...

Eco-efficiency is an important sustainable development and circular economy construct that conceptualizes the relationship between industrial output, resource utilization, and environmental impacts. This paper conducts an eco-efficiency analysis for basin industrial systems using the decomposition model approach. Using data on 10 cities in China’s Songhua River basin, we illustrate the evolutio...

Ecological security is an important basis of the entire human security system, the cornerstone for human survival. Knowing the status of ecological security is crucial for making decisions to avoid ecological disaster. Existing research, both the basic research on ecological security mechanism and information service systems, is still primitive in their abilities to resolve eco-security problem...

In recent decades, several eco-lodges have been established in biodiversity areas of Ethiopia. For example, plenty of eco-lodges are found in Amhara, Oromia and Southern Nation, Nationalities and People’s National Regional States. Most of the times, as eco-lodges are established from environmentally friendly, economically feasible and socially acceptable local materials, we argue that eco-lodge...

This paper investigates the extent to which eco-innovation activities in multinational enterprises (MNEs) a host country affects local firms. In attention-based view, organizational attention field is significant for innovation. By analyzing Korean Innovation Survey and patent data, we find that as more foreign MNEs conduct locally, environmental issues increases Their particularly benefits fro...
