Selection Of

In this paper, we aim to shed light on the geographies that led both to the selection of Lodge Hill for the construction of a large-scale housing development and to the subsequent attempt to use biodiversity offsetting to compensate for its environmental impacts. We draw on extensive fieldwork from 2012 to 2016, and diverge from previous studies on offsetting by focusing less on issues related to metrics and governance and shifting our analytic attention to the economic and urban geographies surrounding the Lodge Hill case. We argue that this approach can offer not only an empirically grounded account of why offsetting is being selected to address the impacts of specific urban development projects, but also an in-depth understanding of the factors that determine offsetting’s actual implementation on the ground. Viewing the Lodge Hill case through the frame of urbanization allows us to better grasp the how, why and when particular alliances of actors contest and/or support the implementation of biodiversity offsetting. Our analytical lens also helps exposing the fragility of neoliberal natures and the roles inter-capitalist competition and species biology and ecology can play on the success or failure of neoliberal policies.

Snow And Ice

Snow and ice control is a critical maintenance operation for New York State: each winter, up to 68 500 km (42,500 lane-mi) of highways must be cleared. Visibility during plowing operations is often poor and is further diminished by backscatter glare from the snowplow's own headlights as well as glare from lights of oncoming traffic. Results are summarized of a pilot study to identify forward (front-end) lighting configurations that might improve visibility for plow operators during such operations. During the 1993–1994 winter, eight lighting configurations were tested, two of which were identified as potential improvements over the existing pattern. Simple procedures and forms were developed for collecting reliable data. Methodological issues in performing such experiments are discussed. A statistical methodology is presented that is suitable for comparison of lighting configurations but is also applicable in other, broader contexts in which a number of items are compared by several evaluators.

The implementation of Life Cycle Assessment and related methods in green chemical process and synthesis design strongly supports the development of greener concepts on the basis of deep and profound insights into the dependences between the selection of compounds and process parameters and the resulting environmental impacts.
