to determine if there is a gender difference in the resource consumption activities of students in central mindanao university, a philippine state university, an ecological foot printing study was conducted in august 2014. consumption data from 380 student respondents were gathered using a survey questionnaire. a web-based software created by the global footprint network was used to convert the...

in this study a pseudo comprehensive carbon footprint model for fossil fuel power plants is presented. parameters which their effects are considered in this study include: plant type, fuel type, fuel transmission type, internal consumption of the plant, degradation, site ambient condition, transmission and distribution losses. investigating internal consumption, degradation and site ambient con...

The large land area requirement of constructed wetlands (CWs) is a major limitation of its application especially in densely populated and mountainous areas. This review paper provides insights on different strategies applied for the reduction of land area including stack design and intensification of CWs with different aeration methods. The impacts of different aeration methods on the performa...

Construction of coastal ports makes port area and nearby sea area become high risk region of ecological emergency and environmental pollution. It is helpful for providing references to protect ecological environment of port by quantifying port ecological carrying capacity. This paper will transfer resources and energy consumed in port production and operation to four ecological productive lands...

An important indicator of sustainable land use, the ecological footprint measure has proved unsuitable for many planning applications because of the limited availability of impact data at the local level of cities and counties and because of an inability to estimate the ecological footprint of future development scenarios. In light of these limitations, this paper presents a methodology for mea...

We present a three-dimensional Lagrangian footprint model with the ability to predict the area of influence (footprint) of a measurement within a wide range of boundary-layer stratifications and receptor heights. The model approach uses stochastic backward trajectories of particles and satisfies the well-mixed condition in inhomogeneous turbulence for continuous transitions from stable to conve...

This paper describes the work undertaken by the Transport Group of the Environmental Forum to quantify the ecological impact of the transport demands generated by the activities of Oxford Brookes University. Ecological Footprint Analysis was used to quantify the ecological impact in terms of the land area required for these transport activities to be sustainable. Data from a survey of the commu...

BACKGROUND Most published attempts to quantify footprint shape are based on a small number of measurements. We applied geometric morphometric methods to study shape variation of the complete footprint outline in a sample of 83 adult women. METHODS The outline of the footprint, including the toes, was represented by a comprehensive set of 85 landmarks and semilandmarks. Shape coordinates were ...

The Global Water Footprint Standard approach was used to calculate the volumetric blue and green water footprint indicator for lucerne production as important feed for dairy cows in a major lucerne production region in South Africa. The degree of sustainability of water use then was assessed by comparing water use to water availability for the region. The results show a volumetric water footpri...

the ecological footprint as an indicator estimates the effect of population and industrial products process on ecosystem by evaluating and calculating the used energy and materials in a city, region or country. dehgolan county is located in kurdistan province between hamadan and sanandaj cities. dehgolan is one of the important and effective counties of kurdistan in agriculture. however, with t...
