Correction to: The circular agricultural system is more sustainable: emergy analysis

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...

Environmental Accounting of Agricultural Sustainability Using Emergy Analysis

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...

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

Which Metric Is More Appropriate to Evaluate Researchers?

Iranian medical universities choose their best researchers in each field annually. The protocols of this process have been modified quite often, but the changes were not fundamental and did not lead to all-inclusive evaluation tools. The recent article in Asia Pacific Journal of Medical Toxicology, which proposes a scoring scale for evaluation of scientist's impact called "360-degree researcher...
