As application of re-activation of backside on power device Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT), laser annealing was employed to irradiate amorphous silicon substrate, and resistivities were measured using four point probe measurement. For annealing the amorphous silicon two lasers were used at wavelength of visible green (532 nm) together with Infrared (793 nm). While the green laser effi...

Urban logistics is a field that studies the best solutions for urban freight distribution with high environmental objectives. However, most actions are started by public authorities without taking into account the impacts of the new organizational schemas in the existing distribution enterprises’ organization. This chapter proposes a conceptual framework for urban green logistics planning and e...

Green sea turtles Chelonia mydas use coastal areas as foraging grounds for the majority of their lives. Human development of coastlines is increasing, but the effects of urban development of foraging grounds on green turtles are poorly understood. We used acoustic telemetry to determine home ranges of green turtles during 2009 to 2011 in San Diego Bay, California, USA, which is a highly urbaniz...

Richardson and Green (1997) present a method of performing a Bayesian analysis of data from a finite mixture distribution with an unknown number of components. Their method is a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approach, which makes use of the “reversible jump” methodology described by Green (1995). We describe an alternative MCMC method which views the parameters of the model as a (marked) poin...

Nowadays, with the green economy becoming mainstream in the world, an industrial revolution as the core of green development has emerged. Based on the empirical evidence from China’s 30 provinces, this study establishes an evaluation index system of China’s industrial green development and applies the analytic hierarchy process to determine the indices’ weights and properties to measure the lev...

The global spread of green roofs is becoming increasingly important in the context increasing urbanization and climate change as they provide multiple benefits, including urban heat island effect (UHI) mitigation, stormwater retention flood risk reduction. However, current research provides little insight into how are used promoted globally. Therefore, it essential to look at spatial distributi...

The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), is an economically important pest of ornamental plant in Iran. The population abundance and spatial distribution were studied on five Rosa cultivars including Maroussia, Wendela, Elderado, Wenedetta, and Hot Lady during two growing seasons of 2011 and 2012 in greenhouse. The k parameter, index of dispersion, Lloyd’s m...

Urban planning and management in economic, social, cultural, health and hygienic, and safety and security fields is one of the main concerns of officials and citizens in each country. Nowadays, the necessity of green lands in cities has become very important. Green lands refine the air and reduce air pollutants, strike ecological balance, and absorb piercing sickening sounds. Today, people are ...
