The Chinese Loess Plateau is suffering from severe soil erosion. The eco-environmental changes of the plateau have attracted considerable attentions both from scientists and local governments. Aiming at the regional features of eco-environment and main environmental problems of Linfen City, the synthetic evaluation index system including Organism Abundance index, Vegetation Cover index, Water D...

With the increasing awareness of sustainability, eco-design has been an important trend in the fashion industry. Many fashion brands such as Nike, Adidas, and The North Face have developed sustainable fashion by incorporating eco-design elements. Eco-design is an important part of sustainable supply chains.

This paper investigates the potential for eco-certification to improve livelihoods and conserve biodiversity in tropical countries, using the example of a traditional rubber agroforestry practice in Indonesia. Eco-certification has the potential to allow farmers to generate revenue streams by marketing environmental benefits of their practices. However, in the years since eco-certification firs...

This paper presents a novel approach for object detection using a feature construction method called Evolution-COnstructed (ECO) features. Most other object recognition approaches rely on human experts to construct features. ECO features are automatically constructed by uniquely employing a standard genetic algorithm to discover series of transforms that are highly discriminative. Using ECO fea...

This article explores the aesthetic implications of ecostructuralism. Eco-structuralism is a method of music composition that utilises the sonic features of natural sounds as structural elements in new compositions. This paper places eco-structuralism within an aesthetic and analytical framework. It explores views of aesthetics and nature and discusses how eco-structuralism is positioned in rel...

Two  simple  protocols  for  the  synthesis  of  1,  2,  4,  5-   tetrasubstitutedimidazoles  using  nano-SPA  as  a  reusable,  eco-   friendly,  inexpensive,  and  efficient  catalyst  are  reported.  Short   reaction  times,  high  yields,  scale-up  and  easy  workup  are  the   advantages of these protocols.

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...
