Ecological destruction in human-dominated landscapes has significant impacts on environment sustainability internationally. Landscape planning can play a role in mitigating the effects of human-related activities. One element of landscape planning involves the analysis of the biological, spatial and social arrangement of areas in an urban environment and identifying characteristics that are und...

Ecological security is an important basis of the entire human security system, the cornerstone for human survival. Knowing the status of ecological security is crucial for making decisions to avoid ecological disaster. Existing research, both the basic research on ecological security mechanism and information service systems, is still primitive in their abilities to resolve eco-security problem...

As an emerging field of eco-efficiency, tourism eco-efficiency is becoming an important way to measure the sustainable development of tourism. This study calculated and decomposed tourism CO2 emissions in China, explored its evolution and distribution characteristics by using the ratio method of tourism eco-efficiency, and analyzed the influencing factors by adopting a regression model. The res...

Heritable trait variation is a central and necessary ingredient of evolution. Trait variation also directly affects ecological processes, generating a clear link between evolutionary and ecological dynamics. Despite the changes in variation that occur through selection, drift, mutation, and recombination, current eco-evolutionary models usually fail to track how variation changes through time. ...

the development of the eco friendly procedures makes nanoparticles as the rapidly growing field of nanotechnology. amongst, the silver nanoparticles have become prominent in the field of medicine to their peculiar antimicrobial properties. in the present study we suggest an eco friendly procedure of extracellular synthesis of silver nanoparticles with an average sizes of 5-50nm using an actinom...

Design of products permits to yield goods and services to produce satisfaction on customers, which is measured as value. However, it is at this stage in which most of the environmental impact, from a lifecycle perspective, is added to the product. Eco-design aims at increasing value of products while reducing the burdens on the environment by means conscious design towards efficient use of reso...

We propose ECO: a new way to generate embeddings for phrases that is Efficient, Compositional, and Order-sensitive. Our method creates decompositional embeddings for words offline and combines them to create new embeddings for phrases in real time. Unlike other approaches, ECO can create embeddings for phrases not seen during training. We evaluate ECO on supervised and unsupervised tasks and de...

innovation and sustainable development have been considered fundamental elements in the competitive positioning of companies. the synergies between both concepts, known as eco-innovation, must be considered when designing company policies. the aim of this paper is to analyse which moderating factors determine how innovative companies perform when implementing a sustainable proactive approach...
