Bergbau gleich Raubbau?: Rohstoffgewinnung und Nachhaltigkeit
by Volker WredeRessourcenverknappung durch den Raubbau an der Natur, steigende Rohstoffpreise und die globale Krise der Rohstoffversorgung sind Bedrohungsszenarien, welche uns immer wieder beschäftigen und allzu oft als kaum abwendbares Schicksal erscheinen.Doch wie sieht die Rohstoffsituation in der Welt tatsächlich aus? Wie ist die Tatsache einzuordnen, dass die Menge der bekannten Rohstoffreserven entgegen der naheliegenden Vermutung tatsächlich schneller anwächst als der Rohstoffverbrauch? Müsste man anstelle der Gefahr von Ressourcenknappheit nicht viel eher von einer Rohstofffülle sprechen? Halten die fossilen Rohstoffe länger vor als die Regenerativen?Eine These dieses Buches ist, dass die Gewinnung von Rohstoffen grundsätzlich mit Eingriffen in den Naturhaushalt verbunden ist, die sich dennoch weitgehend umweltverträglich durchführen lassen. Anhand zahlreicher Fallbeispiele wird zudem veranschaulicht, weshalb vergangene Fehlentwicklungen und zweifellos bestehende Missstände keine spezifischen Probleme der Rohstoffwirtschaft darstellen, sondern eher als Abbild der jeweils herrschenden gesellschaftlichen Systeme zu deuten sind.

Berichte zu Pflanzenschutzmitteln 2008: Sachstandsbericht zu den Bienenvergiftungen durch insektizide Saatgutbehandlungsmittel in Süddeutschland im Jahr 2008 (BVL-Reporte #4.1)
by Peter BrandtEnde April/Anfang Mai 2008 kam es in Südwestdeutschland zu Bienenvergiftungen, bei denen nach letzten Erhebungen etwa 11.500 Völker von 700 Imkern teilweise erheblich geschädigt wurden. Während der Suche nach den Ursachen richtete sich der Verdacht schnell auf Maissaatgut, das mit dem Insektizid Clothianidin behandelt worden war. Die Analysen des Julius Kühn-Instituts bestätigten den Verdacht. Der Sachstandsbericht zu den Bienenvergiftungen ist eine Publikation des deutschen Bundesamtes für Verbraucherschutz und Lebensmittelsicherheit (BVL).
Berlin: The Interplay between Political Ideology, Architecture and Identity (Springer Geography)
by Neil Mair Quazi Mahtab ZamanPolitical meaning in architecture has been a subject of interest to many critics and writers. The most notable of these include Charles T. Goodsell and Kenneth Frampton. In Goodsell's (1988) statement “Political places are not randomly or casually brought into existence” (ibid, p. 8), the stipulation is that architecture has been used very deliberately in the past to bolster connotations of power and strength in cities representative of larger nations and political movements. The question central to this book relates to how this can be achieved. Goodsell argues that any study of the interplay between political ideology, architecture, and identity, demands a place imbued with political ideas opposed to “cold concepts and lifeless abstractions” (Goodsell 1988, p. 1). As a means through which to examine and evaluate the ways in which the development of cities can be influenced by political and ideological tendencies, this book focuses on Berlin, as a political discourse, given its significant destruction and reorganisation to reinstate its identity in the context of geopolitics and the advent of globalisation.

Bessel Processes, Schramm–Loewner Evolution, and the Dyson Model (SpringerBriefs in Mathematical Physics #11)
by Makoto KatoriThe purpose of this book is to introduce two recent topics in mathematical physics and probability theory: the Schramm–Loewner evolution (SLE) and interacting particle systems related to random matrix theory. A typical example of the latter systems is Dyson's Brownian motion (BM) model. The SLE and Dyson's BM model may be considered as "children" of the Bessel process with parameter D, BES(D), and the SLE and Dyson's BM model as "grandchildren" of BM. In Chap. 1 the parenthood of BM in diffusion processes is clarified and BES(D) is defined for any D ≥ 1. Dependence of the BES(D) path on its initial value is represented by the Bessel flow. In Chap. 2 SLE is introduced as a complexification of BES(D). Rich mathematics and physics involved in SLE are due to the nontrivial dependence of the Bessel flow on D. From a result for the Bessel flow, Cardy's formula in Carleson's form is derived for SLE. In Chap. 3 Dyson's BM model with parameter β is introduced as a multivariate extension of BES(D) with the relation D = β + 1. The book concentrates on the case where β = 2 and calls this case simply the Dyson model.The Dyson model inherits the two aspects of BES(3); hence it has very strong solvability. That is, the process is proved to be determinantal in the sense that all spatio-temporal correlation functions are given by determinants, and all of them are controlled by a single function called the correlation kernel. From the determinantal structure of the Dyson model, the Tracy–Widom distribution is derived.

Best Practices in Green Supply Chain Management: A Developing Country Perspective
by Sadia Samar Ali Rajbir Kaur Jose Antonio Marmolejo SaucedoMeeting consumer needs and desires, while promoting cleaner production and sustainable consumption, is one of the greatest challenges facing industry today. Addressing poverty and environmental degradation requires changing how global organizations produce and distribute goods and how people and organizations consume and dispose of them. It requires a more efficient use of resources, together with action-oriented thinking but raises a range of highly specific challenges for organizations operating in emerging economies. Best Practices in Green Supply Chain Management offers new insights on the challenges of integrating environmental awareness into supply chain management operations in developing countries. The authors present in-depth case studies from the Indian and Mexican manufacturing industries, which are used to illustrate broader lessons in the implementation of sustainable practices for developing economies. This book presents detailed findings and practical guidance to both researchers and practitioners working in the fields of business management, sustainability and green practices, as well as all those who wish to understand why organizations should integrate sustainable strategies and how to implement them.

Best Practices in Metropolitan Transportation Planning: New Advances, Approaches, And Best Practices
by Reid Ewing Keith BartholomewPlanning at a metropolitan scale is important for effective management of urban growth, transportation systems, air quality, and watershed and green-spaces. It is fundamental to efforts to promote social justice and equity. Best Practices in Metropolitan Transportation Planning shows how the most innovative metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) in the United States are addressing these issues using their mandates to improve transportation networks while pursuing emerging sustainability goals at the same time. As both a policy analysis and a practical how-to guide, this book presents cutting-edge original research on the role accessibility plays - and should play - in transportation planning, tracks how existing plans have sought to balance competing priorities using scenario planning and other strategies, assesses the results of various efforts to reduce automobile dependence in cities, and explains how to make planning documents more powerful and effective. In highlighting the most innovative practices implemented by MPOs, regional planning councils, city and county planning departments and state departments of transportation, this book aims to influence other planning organizations, as well as influence federal and state policy discussions and legislation.

Best Practices in Physics-based Fault Rupture Models for Seismic Hazard Assessment of Nuclear Installations (Pageoph Topical Volumes)
by Luis A. Dalguer Yoshimitsu Fukushima Kojiro Irikura Changjiang WuThis volume collects several extended articles from the first workshop on Best Practices in Physics-based Fault Rupture Models for Seismic Hazard Assessment of Nuclear Installations (BestPSHANI). Held in 2015, the workshop was organized by the IAEA to disseminate the use of physics-based fault-rupture models for ground motion prediction in seismic hazard assessments (SHA). The book also presents a number of new contributions on topics ranging from the seismological aspects of earthquake cycle simulations for source scaling evaluation, seismic source characterization, source inversion and physics-based ground motion modeling to engineering applications of simulated ground motion for the analysis of seismic response of structures. Further, it includes papers describing current practices for assessing seismic hazard in terms of nuclear safety in low seismicity areas, and proposals for physics-based hazard assessment for critical structures near large earthquakes. The papers validate and verify the models by comparing synthetic results with observed data and empirical models. The book is a valuable resource for scientists, engineers, students and practitioners involved in all aspects of SHA.
Bestial Oblivion: War, Humanism, and Ecology in Early Modern England (Perspectives on the Non-Human in Literature and Culture)
by Benjamin BertramAlthough war is a heterogeneous assemblage of the human and nonhuman, it nevertheless builds the illusion of human autonomy and singularity. Focusing on war and ecology, a neglected topic in early modern ecocriticism, Bestial Oblivion: War, Humanism, and Ecology in Early Modern England shows how warfare unsettles ideas of the human, yet ultimately contributes to, and is then perpetuated by, anthropocentrism. Bertram’s study of early modern warfare’s impact on human-animal and human-technology relationships draws upon posthumanist theory, animal studies, and the new materialisms, focusing on responses to the Anglo-Spanish War, the Italian Wars, the Wars of Religion, the colonization of Ireland, and Jacobean “peace.” The monograph examines a wide range of texts—essays, drama, military treatises, paintings, poetry, engravings, war reports, travel narratives—and authors—Erasmus, Machiavelli, Digges, Shakespeare, Marlowe, Coryate, Bacon—to show how an intricate web of perpetual war altered the perception of the physical environment as well as the ideologies and practices establishing what it meant to be human.

Beton – Stahlbeton – Faserbeton: Eigenschaften und Unterschiede
by Bernhard WietekBeton, Stahlbeton und Faserbeton sind Baustoffe, die nacheinander in großen Zeitabständen entwickelt wurden. Auf Grund ihrer unterschiedlichen Zusammensetzung haben sie voneinander sehr abweichende Eigenschaften, die bei jeder Anwendung auch berücksichtigt werden sollten. Diese müssen beobachtet und auch messtechnisch festgehalten werden, denn sie entscheiden über die Gebrauchszeit eines Bauwerkes. Gerade durch unterschiedliche Formen und auch Umwelteinflüsse wird diese Gebrauchszeit sehr stark beeinflusst. Es wird in einer abschließenden Tabelle dieser Zusammenhang aufgezeigt.
