The present thesis is part of a project exploring new possibilities to remediate soils polluted by insecticide lindane and herbicide atrazine. It is the Indo-Swiss project entitled "Development of Phytoremediation Techniques Using Interactive Potential of ...
Our paper draws upon concrete research cases to show: firstly, how the approach, the perspective and the representational framework of eGovernment initiatives influence the nature of the changes taking place and, as too many problems remain unaddressed, wh ...
Hydropower use is responsible for a wide range of environmental disturbances to river systems. Over the past decades, aquatic science research has been successful in identifying a considerable number of relationships that exist between plant operation and ...
The contamination of agricultural land and groundwater by heavy metals is essentially linked to human activities. A major problem with heavy metals is that they cannot be biodegraded and therefore reside in the environment for long periods of time if they ...
The implementation of bio-inspired systems in hardware has traditionally been more a matter of artistry than of method. The reasons are multiple, but one of the main problems has always been the lack of a universal platform, of a standardized architecture, ...
Sunflower can be used for the remediation of metal-contaminated soils. Its high biomass production makes this plant species interesting for phytoextraction and using sunflower oil for a technical purpose may improve the economic balance of phytoremediation ...
Providing our society with goods and services contributes to a wide range of environmental impacts. Waste generation, emissions and the consumption of resources occur at many stages in a product's life cycle-from raw material extraction, energy acquisition ...
The increasing importance of sustainability in urban and architectural design is strongly questioning the actual logic of built environment dispersion. In this context, the regeneration of urban wastelands constitutes an important potential for urban densi ...
