Among the top ten tourist activities in Taiwan, temple fairs attract millions of domestic and international visitors annually. However, numerous environmental problems are associated with such fairs. Although numerous environmental strategies have been developed for tourism destinations, few studies have focused on temple culture. This study determines whether environmental strategies can help ...

======================================= Abstract: Version #1 This study aims to explore the relationship between environmental science and industry in the US-Mexico border region. The practice of adopting environmental management systems to integrate environmental concerns into business practices has become more widespread. In order to be officially certified by the International Organization f...

Waste electrical and electronic equipment is one of the major world-wide waste streams triggering the emergence of environmental strategies. Environmental regulations, closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) activities and design-for-environment (DfE) practices are environmental friendly strategies being implemented by governments and industry. In this paper, we apply a System Dynamics model to a CLSC ...

The administration and storage of environmental characteristic spectral data are highly relevant in many fields of environmental study, such as measurement of trace gases in the atmosphere and air quality estimation. For this reason, a web-accessible database has been developed, offering ready access to the main parameters of molecular absorption spectral data. Web-based and friendly interfaces...

The tosylation reaction of endocrine-disruptive alkylphenolic compounds in a solid-phase aqueous system was investigated with the aim of developing an environment-friendly and efficient derivatization method for HPLC analyses of environmental samples. The phenols were rapidly and efficiently converted to the tosyl derivatives on a commercially available ODS solid-phase cartridge by passing an a...

Based on a unique firm-level data set from the German manufacturing sector, this paper disentangles environmental and non-environmental product and process innovations. The multivariate probit analysis shows that the various innovation types are determined by different factors. The estimation results suggest a policy mix which comprises the encouragement of R&D activities, certified management ...

The research activity of the Chair of Colloid and Environmental Chemistry concentrates on the studies of processes in heterogeneous and nanostructured systems and the development of new analytical tools and methods which can be used for the environmental-friendly treatment of wastes. We are working out mathematical models for transition processes of pollutants in solid and liquid industrial was...

Background: Scientific workflows have been commonly used in geospatial data analysis and Cyberinfrastructure. They allow distributed geoprocessing algorithms, models, data, and sensors to be chained together to support geospatial data analysis, and environmental monitoring, and integrated environmental modelling. Results: This paper presents an open source geoprocessing workflow tool, GeoJModel...
