Policy measures for creating an integrated and brand–focused innovation system for film industries in shadow nations: an application to Australia's national film industry
Shadow nations face particular problems in constructing competitive film industries. Shadow nations refer to nations whose relative competitiveness suffers from easy product substitutability by products initiated, produced and distributed by powerful actors, such as media conglomerates located in Hollywood. The dominant literature has so far neglected the developing policy recommendations for ...

Dispersion of buoyant emissions from low level sources in urban areas: water channel modelling
A laboratory study was done to investigate dispersion of buoyant emissions from near surface sources in urban areas. Ground level concentrations under different surrounding building geometries were measured using a newly developed system based on laser induced fluorescence. In the presence of upstream buildings AERMOD (AMS/U.S. EPA regulatory dispersion model) is unable to explain concentrations ...

An econometric analysis of ecological footprint determinants: implications for sustainability
Most research on the impact of income and other socioeconomic variables on the environment focuses on specific local environmental effects and not on the broader sustainability picture. We seek to fill the apparent gap in the literature, exploring whether and the extent to which income, economic openness, income inequality and the distribution of power influence sustainability. We employ ...

Smart Metering Technology Supports Sustainability
As communities navigate COVID-19, sustainability is a top priority for many companies. Smart metering provides a cost-effective and efficient solution to distribute power and water resources to modern communities. Many cities and utility companies use smart meters to improve operations, save costs, and provide quality customer service. ...

Water, sanitation and hygiene for homeless people
This short communication provides insights into water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) for homeless people through a scoping study conducted in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It investigates homeless access to WASH through the lens of a rights-based approach. It demonstrates that homeless people's denial of their right to WASH reflects their marginal position in society and an unequal distribution of power ...

A simplified approach to control water distribution under restricted power supply
This paper presents a water supply problem arising from the regions where power supply is not regulated and the water supplier has to manage the demand with minimum possible cost. The consumption is constrained to organise rationing, and thus known day after day. Furthermore, the same consumption profile is maintained during the summer season, and this explains the importance of the reservoir ...

Why do we need to develop smart meters?
Smart meter is the intelligent terminal of smart grid, it is not the traditional sense of energy meter, smart meter in addition to the traditional energy meter basic electricity measurement function, in order to adapt to the smart grid and the use of new energy it also has bi-directional multi-tariffs measurement function, customer side control function, bi-directional data communication function ...

MB, Watchword: “Traffic must not be Interrupted”
MB, Watchword: “Traffic must not be Interrupted”. An exciting journey from the past to the future with MB Crusher Drum Cutters From 1921 to 1998 it was, for many, one of the most prestigious and exciting racing circuits in the world. We are talking about the AVUS - Automobil-Verkehrs- und Übungsstraße - the first motorway to be opened to traffic, now part of the ...

Analysing interdependencies of critical infrastructures using agent discrete event simulation
The paper explores the possibility of using interacting agents for modelling and discrete event simulation as a tool to approach interdependencies analysis and evaluation for critical infrastructures. A discrete event simulation system was developed, using agent-oriented programming, considering the following limited sets of critical infrastructures: a great hospital infrastructure, a railway ...

Probabilistic thermoeconomic risk assessment for evaluating climate change decisions
Climate change is often considered in terms of its macroscale implications. But macroscale policy decisions may also significantly impact the localised design of products and services in different business ecosystems. This paper addresses this disconnect by exploring a methodology that combines engineering economics, probabilistic risk assessment, and thermodynamic analysis to evaluate different ...

An exciting journey with MB Crusher drum cutters
MB Crusher speaks about its involvement with demolishing an old bridge over AVUS - Automobil-Verkehrs- und Übungsstraße, Germany’s first motorway. From 1921 to 1998 it was, for many, one of the most prestigious and exciting racing circuits in the world. We are talking about the AVUS – Automobil- Verkehrs-und Übungsstraße – the first motorway to be opened ...

Flue gases pollutant characterization by multispectral extinction measurement
ABSTRACT We present preliminary experimental results relevant to tests carried out on an innovative instrument properly designed for real time measurement of both particle size distribution and concentration in particle laden flows. The system performs on line, continuous, in situ measurements. The instrument, which is based on a multi-wavelength (300nm – 900nm) extinction technique, ...

Explaining the construction of global carbon markets: REDD+ as a test case?
Market–based instruments increasingly shape international environmental governance. Against this background, this paper puts forward a conceptual framework on the development of regulated global carbon markets. Regarding the adoption of carbon trading as an instance of wider shifts in governance allows us to benefit from the rich literature on (international) institutional change. At the same ...

The use of the Pareto distribution for fracture transmissivity assessment
For many applications data on the transmissivity distribution of individual fractures are necessary, i.e., discrete fracture network (DFN) modelling of groundwater flow and transport of solutes in fractured rock and design and performance of rock grouting. Using borehole data from the Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory, Sweden, it is shown that evaluated fracture transmissivities from three boreholes at ...

Challenges of public water provision in Nigerian cities: a review
In spite of the importance of adequate water quality and quantity for human health and survival, public water supply coverage in Nigerian cities appears to be decreasing and deteriorating. Hence, this study was designed to assess the challenges of public water provision in Nigerian cities. Some of the reasons for this deterioration include: inadequate water supply policy, lack of autonomy for ...

Rajasthan’s Deadly Dust Storm Indicates the Need for Environmental Monitoring System
It was yesterday that we read the news where WHO reported 14 out of 20 most polluted cities are in India. The same day, the whole Rajasthan and UP were shrouded in a deadly dust storm and rains that caused major casualties. The severe dust storm created havoc across the cities of Bharatpur, Alwar and Dholpur districts in Rajasthan. More than 30 were killed and over 100 were injured besides a ...
