In the first book-length overview, their importance for the further growth and application of LCA is demonstrated for some of the most prominent species of this emerging trend: Carbon footprinting; Water footprinting; Eco-efficiency assessment; Resource efficiency assessment; Input-output and hybrid LCA; Material f

Overview: .Surfactants and Colloids in the Environment. presents the proceedings of the General Meeting of the German Colloid Society (Kolloid-Gesellschaft) held at the Research Center of Jülich (KFA), FRG, in 1993. .The volume emphasizes the importance of colloid chemistry in environmental research. Contributions on the physico-chemical behavior of colloids and surfaces in environmental technology demonstrate the high standard and usefulness of colloid science in this field: General colloid and environmental science complement each other. Thus, the detailed contributions in this volume will b

Overview: Simulation models enable land and watershed managers to make precise, authoritative determinations about the affects of various changes on the environment over time. This book discusses the role of modeling in the management process and gives an overview of state-of-the-art modeling applications. The first chapters provide background on the benefits and costs of modeling and on the ecological basis of models, using historical applications as examples. The second section of the book describes the latest models from a wide selection of environmental disciplines. Since management freque

Overview: A clear road map that shows how to transfer scientific results into practice and political action.A new checklist to assess scientific knowledge transfer from research projects and programs into politResearchers in the environmental sciences are often frustrated because actors involved with practice do not follow their advice. This is the starting point of this book, which describes a new model for scientific knowledge transfer called RIU, for Research, Integration and Utilization. This model sees the factors needed for knowledge transfer as being state-of-the-art research and the ef

Overview: Brings together perspectives form different fields and different geopolitical contexts.Includes chapters from both established academics and new, emerging scholars.Includes a special section of statemThis book investigates how contemporary artistic practices engage with the body and its intersection with political, technological, and ethical issues. Departing from the relationship between corporeality and performing arts (such as theater, dance, and performance), it turns to a pluriversal understanding of embodiment that resides in the extra violent conditions of contemporary global

Overview: This volume contains papers presented at the International Conference on Software Process (ICSP 2007) held in Minneapolis, USA, May 19-20, 2007. ICSP 2007 c- prised two successful series of process-related workshops, the International Workshop on Software Process Simulation and Modeling (ProSim) and the Software Process Workshop (SPW). The theme of ICSP 2007 was “Coping with Software Process Dynamics and Ag- ity. ” Software developers work in a dynamic context of frequently changing te- nologies and limited resources. Globally distributed development teams are under ever-increasing p

Overview: Contributes to debates surrounding the role of social networks in enhancing politicians‘ accountability and the responsiveness of the political system.Assesses the extent to which the offline behaviou.This book illustrates how social media platforms enable us to understand everyday politics and evaluates the extent to which they can foster accountability, transparency and responsiveness. The first part focuses on accountability and tests whether the offline behavior of politicians is consistent with their online declarations, showing that textual analysis of politicians’ messages is

Overview: Provides a self-contained introduction to the statistical theory of demographic rates in a multi-state setting.Includes supplementary material: .Sustainability of pension systems, intergeneration fiscal equity under population aging, and accounting for health care benefits for future retirees are examples of problems that cannot be solved without understanding the nature of population forecasts and their uncertainty. Similarly, the accuracy of population estimates directly affects both the distributions of formula-based government allocations to sub-national units and the apportionme

Overview: This series of books, which is published at the rate of about one per year, addresses fundamental problems in materials science. The contents cover a broad range of topics from small clusters of atoms to engineering materials and involve chemistry, physics, materials science, and engineering, with length scales ranging from Ångstroms up to millimeters. The emphasis is on basic science rather than on applications. Each book focuses on a single area of current interest and brings together leading experts to give an up-to-date discussion of their work and the work of others. Each articl
