EMergy accounting for the Three Gorges Dam project: three scenarios for the estimation of non-renewable sediment cost
Abstract Dam construction conflicts are typically multidimensional, complex, and dynamic. Until recently, the environmental impact assessment of large dam projects was not fully acknowledged due to the uncertainty of the issue and the current...

Identification of Model Parameters of the Photovoltaic Solar Cells
Abstract Presently, many equivalent circuit models have been developed and proposed to describe the photovoltaic (PV) cell's characteristics, and the most commonly used are single and double diode models. In a single diode model, a complete...

A new approach to evaluate forest structure restoration needs across Oregon and Washington, USA
Abstract Widespread habitat degradation and uncharacteristic fire, insect, and disease outbreaks in forests across the western United States have led to highly publicized calls to increase the pace and scale of forest restoration. Despite these...

Towards a new model for kimberlite petrogenesis: Evidence from unaltered kimberlites and mantle minerals
Abstract Kimberlites represent magmas derived from great mantle depths and are the principal source of diamonds. Kimberlites and their xenolith cargo have been extremely useful for determining the chemical composition, melting regime and evolution...

Assessment of ecophysiology of lake shore reed vegetation based on chlorophyll fluorescence, field spectroscopy and hyperspectral airborne imagery
Abstract Since the beginning of the 1960s an escalating deterioration of reed beds in parts of Europe has been often observed. Hence, the ‘reed die-back’ as it was later named, has been a phenomenon of great scientific interest and concern to...

Simulating urbanization scenarios reveals tradeoffs between conservation planning strategies
Abstract Land that is of great value for conservation can also be highly suitable for human use, resulting in competition between urban development and the protection of natural resources. To assess the effectiveness of proposed regional land...

Accident Consequence Simulation Analysis of Pool Fire in Fire Dike
Abstract Pool fires are the most common of all process industry accidents. Pool fires often trigger explosions which may result in more fires, causing huge losses of life and property. Since both the risk and the frequency of occurrence of pool...

Development of criteria used to establish a background environmental monitoring station
Abstract It is generally considered necessary to measure concentrations of contaminants-of-concern at a background location when conducting atmospheric environmental surveillance. This is because it is recognized that measurements of background...
