This data-rich book demonstrates the value of existing national long-term ecological research in Australia for monitoring environmental change and biodiversity.Long-term ecological data are critical for informing trends in biodiversity and environmental change. The Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN...
where numerous historical breakthroughs have emerged from innovative methods. Prominent examples in power generation include thediscovery of the photovoltaic effectby Edmund Becquerel in 1839 and the development of the first commercial solar panel by Charles Fritts later that century. These milestones have...

6.3.3 Iodine extraction process in wet separation systems At present, the domestic production process of industrial I is complicated and the recovery cost is high. China needs to import about 5000–8000 tons of I from abroad every year, and I is valued by the country as the most important ...
This leads to a failure to enhance customer value, while increasing the risk profile of investments and other decisions with long-term consequences. If management accounting as a discipline is to contribute to improving the environmental performance of organisations, then...
Empirical results show that the pure technical environmental efficiency (PTEE) of container ports is low with a mean value of 0.567. Small differences are found among the ports in different regions. The Bohai Bay Rim port cluster shows the highest PTEE with a mean value of 0.601, followed by...
When Cleaner Production is sought after in the initial design phase of a product, all intrinsic and outcoming steps are optimized, allowing to create more environmentally friendly products, eco-designed products. Indeed, it is during the design phase tha
