Environmental mainstreaming (EM) is a policy instrument to integrate environmental risks and opportunities into planning and implementation. A body of knowledge exists on identifying barriers for EM at the national level. This paper identifies contributions of regional institutions for improving capacities for EM at the national level, using the Caribbean region as a case study. The methodology...

The Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm is a very popular optimization tool in model-based clustering problems. However, while the algorithm is convenient to implement and numerically very stable, it only produces solutions that are locally optimal. Thus, EM may not achieve the globally optimal solution to clustering problems, which can have a large number of local optima. This paper introd...

CERT) and the Mexican Petroleum Institute (IMP) have been carried out. The areas of collaboration were in air quality modeling simulation, environmental chamber experimentation, and chemical reaction mechanisms. During the two-year UCMEXUS project the IMP researchers visited CE-CERT on two separate occasions. Extensive discussions concerning these research areas were held and direct participati...

in this research, a 2d laterally averaged model of hydrodynamics and water quality, ce-qual-w2, was applied to simulate water quality parameters in the ilam reservoir. the water quality of ilam reservoir was obtained between mesotrophic and eutrophic based on the measured data including chlorophyll a, total phosphorus and subsurface oxygen saturation. the ce-qual-w2 model was calibrated and ver...

the nutrient requirements and performance guidelines of management guides are based upon many actual flock results obtained under good environmental and management conditions. in practice and under the prevalent poultry industry situation, through these nutrient levels, iranian farmers cannot attain the performance reported in management guidelines. an estimation of the model of broiler breeder...
