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 ...

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 ...

Using complex networks to model two- and three-dimensional soil porous architecture
The ability to quantify three dimensional (3-D) soil porous architecture is a key requirement in the advanced understanding of soil functioning. Recent developments in the visualization of soil structure using tools such as x-ray Computed Tomography (CT) provide new opportunities for pore-scale modeling. Here we apply a novel complex network approach to examine soil pore architecture in both two ...

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 ...

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 ...

Wind resource assessment using numerical weather prediction models and multi–criteria decision making technique: case study (Masirah Island, Oman)
The Authority for Electricity Regulation in Oman has recently announced the implementation of a 500 kW wind farm pilot project in Masirah Island. Detailed wind resource assessment is then required to identify the most suitable location for this project. This paper presents wind resource assessment using nested ensemble numerical weather prediction (NWP) model's approach at 2.8 km resolution and ...

Research on minimizing electric power usage in water distribution system
The purpose of this study is to propose the optimal water supply control and management plan for minimizing power usage by water distribution pumps. The key topic of this study is to determine from which treatment plants water should be supplied, and through which supply stations it should be distributed. This study devised an optimal model of the ‘route/flow decision problem’ for ...

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 ...

Points for Attention in Design of Tank Grounding System in Gas Station
Points for Attention in Design of Tank Grounding System in Gas Station: 1. Oil tanks should be lightning-proof grounding, and grounding points should not be less than two. 2. The buried oil tank should be electrically connected with the process pipeline exposed to the ground and it should be grounded. 3. The information system of gas station should be equipped with armoured copper earthing cable ...

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 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 ...

A methodology for developing Distributed Generation scenarios in urban areas using geographical information systems
The implementation of Distributed Generation (DG) may lead to increased pollutant emissions that adversely affect air quality. This work presents a systematic methodology to characterise DG installation in urban basins. First, a set of parameters that characterise a DG implementation scenario is described. Second, a general approach using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data is presented. ...

Terrorism and the ultimate corporate environmental strategy
This article points to the signs of a shift from the model of an over-dependence on central power plants to a distributed renewable energy system, and discusses the major growth opportunities for businesses developing new technologies. Our electricity grid, with its emphasis on large polluting and centralized power plants that inefficiently send power long distances over transmission lines, is ...

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 ...
