It studies how environmental conventions and agreements interact with general or customary international laws. The protection of the environment is goal several agreements. In an effort to solve major issues including ozone depletion, climate change, species extinction, desertification, law becoming more crucial. International might never advance beyond its present structure if trend keeps up. ...

this paper examines the relationship between environmental law and intellectual property law in light of international documents and procedures. the key question raised here is the role of intellectual property law in conservation of global environment. in this regard, we can express two general approaches: the neutral theory of intellectual property right and the systemic theory of intellectua...

The main purposes of this study were to select a photochromic dye and to develop an active welding filter with a photochromic layer. A series of functionalized spirobenzopyranoindolins were synthesized and their photophysical and photochemical properties were investigated in a solution using absorption and emission spectroscopy. Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy measurements were used to ...

This study investigated the effect of moving from single-occupancy offices to a landscape environment. Thirty-two visual display unit (VDU) operators reported no significant change in visual discomfort. Lighting conditions and glare reported subjectively showed no significant correlation with visual discomfort. Experience of pain was found to reduce subjectively rated work capacity during VDU t...

This paper will outline the features required for a multifunction protective relay or intelligent electrical device (IED) that meets the special requirements of the distributed generation environment.

Managing occupational safety in any kind of industry, especially in processing, is very important and complex. This paper develops a new method for occupational risk assessment in the presence of uncertainties. Uncertain values of hazardous factors and consequence frequencies are described with linguistic expressions defined by a safety management team. They are modeled with fuzzy sets. Consequ...

The major source of environmental problems nowadays is the disregard of the laws of nature which escalates even more in the globalizing industrial society. It is a natural question whether we are not facing similar dangers in the more rapidly globalizing information society. What are the most important factors which characterise software or information customers’ value systems in different nati...

Cold protective clothing was studied in 2 European Union projects. The objectives were (a) to examine different insulation calculation methods as measured on a manikin (serial or parallel), for the prediction of cold stress (IREQ); (b) to consider the effects of cold protective clothing on metabolic rate; (c) to evaluate the movement and wind correction of clothing insulation values. Tests were...
