Multimedia fate and multipathway human,exposure models are widely adopted in assessments of toxicological risks of chemical emissions at the regional scale. This paper addresses the question of how much spatial detail is necessary in such models when estim ...
In this study we investigate electrical conduction in finite rectangular random resistor networks in quasione and two dimensions far away from the percolation threshold p(c) by the use of a bond percolation model. Various topologies such as parallel linear ...
We use a decision-support system for agriculture based on a wireless sensor network, in order to understand how scientists solve a typical problem that requires environmental data (such as soil moisture, temperature, etc.). Subjects use an existing interfa ...
Since the 1950s, the population of the Brown hare (Lepus europaeus) has dramatically decreased in Switzerland as well as in other European countries. According to the Swiss Ornithological Institute of Sempach, this animal is an adequate indicator of the st ...
The development of methodologies to assess the effects of pesticides in a consistent way and to enable comparison with the impacts from other agricultural practices is urgently needed. This paper describes a life cycle assessment method to determine the im ...
Within the framework of VISTA project (Vulnerability of Ecosystem Services to Land Use Change in Traditional Agricultural Landscapes), we have studied impacts of land use change on the grasslands of Villar d’Arène (France, 05) and on their services. For th ...
The present study focuses on the economic, political/institutional, technological, cultural, demographic and environmental drivers of land use change. It aims to understand the factors influencing land use decisions at the household level, in particular th ...
