Processing facilities are complex systems of unit operations and streams. Consequently,
their environmental impact cannot be optimally mitigated by simple
end-of-pipe measures. Instead, it is crucial to gain global insights into how mass
flows throughout the process and to use these insights as a consistent basis for developing...

Signal processing has been playing an increasingly important role in remote sensing,
though most remote sensing literatures are concerned with remote sensing images. Many
data received by remote sensors such as microwave and geophysical sensors, are signals or
waveforms, which can be processed by analog and digital signal...

Recent history reveals that both the large-scale reforestation projects of the 20th century have often been less successful than anticipated, and that tree growing by smallholders as an alternative means to combat deforestation and promote sustainable land use has received relatively little attention from the scientific and...
In recent years, federal oversight of public expenditures
has sought to integrate performance and budgeting. Notably,
the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) was
passed in 1993 “in response to questions about the value
and effectiveness of federal programs” (GAO, 1997, p. 11).
GPRA and other mandates...

Although the hypothesis that environmental chemicals may exhibit endocrine disrupting
effects is not new, being raised by Allen and Doisy in 1924, again by Dodds
et al. in 1938, and in the 1950s by Burlington and Lindeman, the issue has seen a
growing level of concern due to reports of increased incidences of...
