The ISO 14000 and ISO 9000 standards have a positive impact on achieving sustainable and efficient business. The ISO 14001, in particular, is credited with a crucial role of assisting businesses with managing their environmental credentials which are vital in the upcoming carbon economy. This paper explores the significance of ISO 14001 and expands on the possibilities of the use of this standa...

INTRODUCTION The concept of emergency medical services (EMS) is new to Sri Lanka. This article describes the development, delivery, and future ideas for EMS in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka also faces frequent natural hazards that justify the establishment of an EMS service. METHODOLOGY Data and information regarding emergency medical care in Sri Lanka were collected and reviewed from resources includ...

INTRODUCTION In 2003, the King Laryngeal Tube (LT) received FDA approval for US sales. Prehospital systems in urban setting have begun evaluating and adopting the LT for clinical airway management. However, it is not routinely approved by State EMS Boards for use by all prehospital providers. Given the LT's simple design there may be benefit to using this tool for airway management in all level...

The concept of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system was introduced in the late sixties and subsequently the Energy Management System (EMS) solution with set of functionalities that relied on SCADA data was introduced in the seventies. This EMS design was based on the notion that power system goes through distinct states such as normal, alert, emergency and restorative, and he...

This chapter introduces an integrative knowledge management prototype named E+ for environmental-conscious construction based on a comprehensive integration of current environmental management (EM) techniques and tools in construction. The overall objective is to apply the theory of knowledge management (KM) in EM in construction, and the authors will achieve it though developing the E+ model a...

Utilizing distributed generations (DGs) near load points has introduced the concept of microgrid. However, stochastic nature of wind and solar power generation as well as electricity load makes it necessary to utilize an energy management system (EMS) to manage hourly power of microgrid and optimally supply the demand. As a result, this paper utilizes demand response program (DRP) and battery t...

In this paper, we identify some of the fundamental issues that must be addressed in designing a desktop Experiment Management System (EMS). We develop an abstraction of the set of activities performed by scientists throughout the course of an experimental study, and based on that abstraction we propose an EMS architecture that can support all such activities. The proposed EMS architecture is ce...

The fast depletion of fossil fuels and the growing awareness need for environmental protection have led us to energy crisis. Positive development has been achieved since last decade by collective effort scientists. In this regard, renewable sources (RES) are being deployed in power system meet demand. microgrid concept (AC, DC) is introduced, which distributed resources (DERs), storage (ESS) lo...
