Man can't live without environment, one with some strictly specified parameters. Despite this known truth, the relation between man and environment is far from peaceful coexistence. From history's point of view, it can be noticed that mankind have repeatedly caused environmental disasters. At first those were purely local. The primitive nomad usually moved elsewhere in the face of an ecological...

[Motivation:] Environmental sustainability is an important concern. Information and communication technology (ICT) innovation is ambivalently positioned with regard to our rapid development and shortening innovation cycles. On one hand, information technology facilitates the (excessive) usage of resources. On the other hand, ICT can also help to significantly reduce human impact on the environm...

In 2008, molecular methods continue to be mainstream in environmental engineering research. Fingerprinting techniques such as denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis continue to be popular tools to track differences in microbial community composition over time and space. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) of wh...

In the face of changing technology, the world is becoming more global by the minute. This globalization has resulted in dispersed teams and collaborative opportunities, which offer value and depth to projects. Software development also reflects this globalization, as do all the processes involved in software development. It is important to understand these changes and how they affect not only t...

The gravity method is a nondestructive geophysical technique that measures differences in the earth’s gravitational field at specific locations. It has found numerous applications in engineering and environmental studies including locating voids and karst features, buried stream valleys, water table levels and the determination of soil layer thickness. The success of the gravity method depends ...
