A Multidisciplinary Approach Integrating Emergy Analysis and Process Modeling for Agricultural Systems Sustainable Management—Coffee Farm Validation

General Model for On-line Emergy Analysis of Agricultural Systems

This paper proposes the construction of tables for emergy synthesis of agricultural systems using internet resources. The general model considered for these tables can be used for simple agricultural systems like chemical farming but also for complex systems as organic, agroecological and forestrycattle-agriculture systems. The construction of tables was possible due to a research on XML (exten...

Using the Values of Internal Emergy Flows for Emergy Accounting in Agricultural Complex Systems

Marketing Strategy Evaluation by Integrating Dynamic Systems Modeling and Network Data Envelopment Analysis

Nowadays, the service industries play an essential role in the economic development of countries, and among the various fields of insurance, life insurance is of particular importance because it covers its cover directly to humans. Increased competition in the insurance industry has led managers to seek marketing strategies that, in addition to increasing insurance sales, reduce costs and gain ...

a benchmarking approach to optimal asset allocation for insurers and pension funds

uncertainty in the financial market will be driven by underlying brownian motions, while the assets are assumed to be general stochastic processes adapted to the filtration of the brownian motions. the goal of this study is to calculate the accumulated wealth in order to optimize the expected terminal value using a suitable utility function. this thesis introduced the lim-wong’s benchmark fun...

Emergy Assessment for Urban Sustainable Development

This paper is a study of the use of emergy indices for the evaluation of sustainable urban development. The Emergy Exchange Ratio (EER) and Emergy Waste Index (EWI) were introduced into the Emergy Sustainability Index (ESI) to establish a new index that reflects the emergy benefit per unit cost of environmental impact, which includes the market exchange and pollution/waste flow in the measureme...
