Oil spills can generate multiple effects in different time scales on the marine ecosystem. The numerical modeling of these processes is an important tool with low computational cost which provides a powerful appliance to environmental agencies regarding the risk management. In this way, the objective of this work is to evaluate the influence of a number of physical forcing acting over a hypothe...

Abstract The increasing oil demand and busy waterways highlight the importance of spill preparedness responses. Dispersants attract attention as an effective response tool to manage impacts major incidents. Despite in-depth laboratory evaluations on effectiveness chemical dispersants their transportation fate spilled oils, how dispersant works at sea remains a question calls for tests with grea...

studies show that private sector organizations in many developed countries utilize business process reengineering (bpr). management theories indicate that bpr has spilled over to these countries' public organizations as well. while defining bpr and its methodology, this article focuses on characteristic features of state-owned organizations and on how these features impact the implementati...
