Abstract:

This study assessed the social and biophysical impacts of camping in the eucalypt forests of southwestern Western Australia. This was an integrated study examining both biophysical and social impacts in designated, developed and informal recreation areas used for camping. Four existing and proposed national parks and a Reserve, comprised of 110 designated and 12 informal campsites, provided the study sites. Previous research has focused on backcountry campsites and trails in wilderness areas in United States. A combined survey approach using multiple indicator ratings and measures was used

Les matériaux composites sont largement utilisés dans le domaine des transports en raison de leurs propriétés mécaniques spécifiques élevées. Cependant, au cours de leur cycle de vie, ils peuvent subir une dégradation significative de leurs propriétés mécaniques lorsqu'ils sont soumis à des chargements d'impacts. Les dommages induits par des impacts se manifestent sous différentes formes telles que la rupture des fibres, la fissuration matricielle, la décohésion fibres/matrice et le délaminage.

Abstract:

Hybrid polymer laminates of polycarbonate and PMMA have generated considerable interest among researchers as an alternative to traditional glass armours because of their potential for reduced cost and weight. Generally, the development of ballistic armour is carried out experimentally which is an expensive task in terms of time and cost. Numerical simulation provides a much greater facility to understand the phenomenon of ballistic impact and the effects of various parameters on the response to such impact. In addition it provides an easy means of comparing the impact performance of different

Abstract:

The main objective of this research is to develop a systematic approach for comprehensive ex-post evaluation of urban policy. In broad terms, urban policies are central government initiatives applied in a spatially targeted manner within urban areas where specific needs have been identified. 'Comprehensive' is defined as the attempt to answer all the questions policy-makers and stakeholders are likely to raise at the various stages of the planning and implementation process. In moving towards the achievement of this objective a number of different, yet supplementary, sources of knowledge and e

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) has increasingly captured the attention of risk management professionals and academicians. Differently from the classical approach to corporate risk management based on a “silo” setting, ERM enables firms to benefit from an integrated approach to manage corporate risks. In particular, it shifts the focus from primarily defensive to increasingly offensive and strategic management of the enterprise risks. This research will investigate the following areas: • Review of literature contributions on this risk management approach considering, in particular, the “COSO

In the Western U.S., Lygus spp. (Hemiptera: Miridae) can cause major losses to cotton, vegetables, seed crops, and a variety of other crops. However, the economic impact of this pest remains largely undocumented in most crops. Two major data sources were used to quantify the economic impact of Lygus in lowdesert upland cotton production in Arizona: a statewide Pesticide Use Reporting (“1080”) database and an annual “Cotton Insect Losses” (CIL) survey of cotton Pest Control Advisors (PCAs). Both data sources include information on the target pest for insecticide applications, making it possible

By exploiting recent developments in behavioral finance on expectation formation in financial markets, we are able to identify an unexpected credit market news shock exhibiting different impacts in an optimistic and pessimistic credit market environment.

Abstract:

It has been well established that self-harm is a key healthcare issue facing young people (Health and Social Information Centre, 2015). Consequently, many self-harmers preferentially seek support from friends (Evans, Hawton, & Rodham, 2005). Despite their unique position, friends’ experiences have been marginalised. Historically, friends have only been considered when they feature in the lives of the person who self-harms, when they are identified as “gate-keepers” to self-harming young people (Klingman & Hochdorf, 1993, p. 123), or when they themselves go on to self-harm (e.g. Hawton, Rodham,

Irreversibility of the decision is also modeled by including sunk cost of forest establishment and the cost of reversing the afforestation process. In addition, the non-permanence impact on the profitability of afforestation was analyzed by assessing the effect o
