MEI is a project for DG Research of the European Commission (Call FP6-2005-SSP-5A, Area B, 1.6, Task 1) about measuring eco-innovation. The project is done in collaboration with Eurostat, the European Environment Agency (EEA) and the Joint Research Center (JRC) of the European Commission. MEI offers a conceptual clarification of eco-innovation (developing a typology) and discusses possible indi...

This paper examines how eco-tourism can be regarded as a change agent in the tourism economy in developing countries. By using conceptual contributions from chaos theory, the authors illustrate how eco-tourism might give competitive advantage, using South Africa as the empirical setting. Destinations focusing on chaos theory when organizing their efforts within eco-tourism may be able to tailor...

At present, overseas and domestic eco-security early warning research is in the exploratory stage. This paper uses Kizilsu Kirghiz Autonomous Prefecture as the research object and constructs an evaluation index system based on the pressure-state-response (P-S-R) conceptual model. This study analyzes eco-security early warning in the study area using the granger causality test model, the entropy...

Seasonal changes in soil respiration (SR), soil temperature (ST) and soil moisture (SM) were compared between a barren land with no vegetation (control) and grassland dominated by Heteropogon contortus (L.) of a semi-arid eco-system during 2005-2006. A statistically significant (p<0.001) seasonal change in SR was observed between the two sites. The variation characteristics of soil CO2 effiux r...

Engineering Change Order or ECO phase is always challenging for any family of chip design. High Performance Microprocessors are largest and most complex overall design within Semiconductor Industry as a whole. To add further, there are additional design and methodology challenge related to bleeding edge of process nodes. Hence, current and future microprocessor design requires a set of well pla...
