In the first section we provide a short review of the rather young field of Environmental Informatics. We argue that Environmental Informatics methods and tools are powerful means in environmental information processing for supporting environmental protection and sustainable development. In the second part we introduce an integrated approach for modeling ecoefficient systems such as complex pro...

Accretion flows may produce profuse winds when they have positive specific energy. Winds deplete matter from the inner region of the disk and makes the inner region thinner, optically. Since there are fewer electrons in this region, it becomes easier to Comptonize this part by the soft photons which are intercepted from the Keplerian disk farther out. We present a self-consistent picture of win...

Within environmental management accounting (EMA) methodologies, material flow cost accounting (MFCA) has been successful in changing traditional attitudes of corporate organisations towards material wastes from production activities and supporting management with information to improve resource utilisations and material yields. However, EMA has not been able to expand itself beyond material was...
