Abstract:
<p> With the arrival of Euro-Americans to Nevada, settlers and travelers experienced struggles and opportunities on Nevada&rsquo;s marginal lands. These lands did not fit well with Euro-American ideas of progress and resource-use throughout the second part of the nineteenth century. After 1848, these marginal lands became part of America&rsquo;s public domain with little promise for permanent settlements. Between 1860 and 1905, Euro-Americans imposed unsustainable land-uses on Nevada&rsquo;s marginal lands. Due to increased competition on limited rangelands, federal land managers working for t

Abstract:
Environment currently, more than ever, receives high attention as (for example) scandalous cases of disturbed ecosystem due to negligent waste management system are widely distributed through media and social channels. Even if we are making abstraction of social activists that protest against, as they claim, climate change, it is true that most governments acknowledge the pressure to introduce new measures and tools for tackling environmental issues with its broad spectrum of sub-domains.

Abstract:
While mounting environmental issues (e.g., climate change) mean that there is an increasing urgency for behavioural change this can be difficult to achieve. This thesis applied learning from health psychology to the issue of why pro-environmental intentions do not necessarily translate into action. Research had found that people working towards health goals were not succeeding or were making slow progress because they employed compensatory beliefs to justify succumbing to desires that conflicted with their health goals. A compensatory belief is the belief that the negative consequences of one

The main idea behind compiling this thesis is to provide the reader with all the major insights towards defining a model’s AD where it can reliably predict the modelled endpoint for new test samples.

The Bush administration's decision to abandon the Kyoto Protocol can be explained by prospect theory.

This domain of losses increased President Clinton's risk tolerances and explains his pursuit of the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement to limit greenhouse gas emission

Organic pollutants that resist degradation in the environment can accumulate in body tissues and cause unavoidable intoxications to organisms in wild life as well as humans. The possible effects, usually increasing with the cumulative exposure to such chemicals, are not always addressed adequately in risk assessment procedures evaluating long and short-term contact hazard. Thus, chemicals accumulation, degradation and environmental fate are of prime concern for REACH when defining side effects due to chronic exposure.

Abstract:
Physical modeling plays an important role in many engineering domains. For engineers it is important to model real world objects in order to simulate and assess their behavior. This is particularly true for the development of new product components such as for example wind turbines. The suitability and durability of components needs to be investigated early in the design process to avoid costs that arise when faulty designs appear during component testing. Another domain where models are frequently used is model-driven software development. Data structures and data flow are modeled, for exampl

Abstract:
This thesis is about improving the suitability of the time domain Boundary Element Method (BEM) for predicting the scattering from surface treatments used to improve the acoustics of rooms. The discretised integral equations are typically solved by marching on in time from initial silence; however, this being iterative has potential for divergence. Such instability and high computational cost have prohibited the time domain BEM from widespread use. The underlying integral equation is known to not possess unique solutions at certain frequencies, physically interpreted as cavity resonances, and

Abstract:
A certificate based approach is proposed for access control operations of context aware systems for multi domain environments. New model deals with the removal of inter-domain communication requirement in access request evaluation process. The study is applied on a prototype implementation with configuration for two dierent cases to show the applicability of the proposed certificate based, context aware access control model for multi domain environments. The outputs for the cases show that proposed access control model can satisfy the requirements of a context aware access control model while

Abstract:
Cette thèse porte sur la modélisation et l’analyse de la propagation électromagnétique dans un milieu forestier dans les bandes VHF et UHF. L’objectif principal est le développement d’un modèle numérique "full-wave" tridimensionnel de diffusion par la forêt permettant de caractériser l’interaction d’une onde électromagnétique avec un milieu forestier. Un tel modèle s’avère, actuellement, un outil indispensable à l’analyse des mesures radar pour l’étude des paramètres caractéristiques de la forêt tels que la biomasse forestière, la hauteur des arbres et leur densité.

Includes abstract.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 119-144).<br>In the continuing quest to improve climate model predictions to meet the increasing demand for knowledge on the regional effects of global climate change, it is pertinent to increase our understanding of how the underlying processes of climate are represented in the models we use to make these predictions. Concerted efforts in model evaluations and intercomparison have provided numerous insights into various model biases which plague current state-of-the-art regional climate models (RCMs).
