Site Assessment For Environmental Restoration, David A. Bainbridge
Site Assessment For Environmental Restoration, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
Restoring degraded desert ecosystems is challenging but it can be done. The first key step is understanding the site history and understanding the disturbance and current site conditions. With this information the appropriate steps can be taken to improve the site ecosystem function and structure.
Libraries At The University Of Massachusetts Amherst: Seeking An International Perspective, Maxine G. Schmidt
Libraries At The University Of Massachusetts Amherst: Seeking An International Perspective, Maxine G. Schmidt
Maxine G Schmidt
Presentation delivered to librarians in China, Japan and South Korea as part of my sabbatical research on the use of libraries by Asian students in their home countries.
Straw Bale Building, David A. Bainbridge
Straw Bale Building, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
Straw bale building offers many advantages, high insulation value, thermal mass of interior plaster, resistance to fire, and low embodied resource cost. Super-insulation becomes possible at affordable prices with straw bales. Used with great success for both residential and commercial building projects.
True Cost Accounting For A Post-Autistic Economy, David A. Bainbridge
True Cost Accounting For A Post-Autistic Economy, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
True cost accounting attempts to include the full cost of products and services in economic consideration. This brings what are often categorized as "external costs" into pricing. The failure to include these social and environmental costs has led to many of our worst crises -- from global climate change to ill health and resource depletion.
A Review Of International Best Practice In E-Governmentsome Lessons For New Adopters, Deogratias Harorimana Sr
A Review Of International Best Practice In E-Governmentsome Lessons For New Adopters, Deogratias Harorimana Sr
Dr Deogratias Harorimana
Efficient bureaucratic processes as essential to attract and retain investment, as well as promote SME growth. The e_Gov is one of many ways emerging economies have used to streamline public service delivery and create a freindly and conducive atmosphere for business -both MNC and SMEs. This presentation provide an overview of some of the World's most recent case examples on the successful design-plan-implementation of eGov to build a strong basis to attract investment and deliver seamless essential services to Citizens.

Rebound In Us Productive Sectors, Harry D. Saunders
Rebound In Us Productive Sectors, Harry D. Saunders
Harry D. Saunders
This presentation describes rebound measurements in the US economy, the dominance of "embedded energy" (production-side energy use), and the economic costs of polices to mitigate rebound effects.
Passive Solar Design, David A. Bainbridge
Passive Solar Design, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
Passive solar architecture can provide heating, cooling, ventilation and daylighting by using the sun and microclimate resources. Building energy consumption can be cut 80-90% at no increase in building cost by using integrated design principles.
Alternative "More Efficient" Irrigation Systems, David A. Bainbridge
Alternative "More Efficient" Irrigation Systems, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
Many traditional irrigation systems work well for ecological restoration projects. These demand responsive systems are very water efficient and robust and have proved themselves in the most extreme desert conditions.

Using Libqual+® To Inform Strategic Planning, Bradford Dennis, Barbara J. Cockrell
Using Libqual+® To Inform Strategic Planning, Bradford Dennis, Barbara J. Cockrell
Barbara J Cockrell
Western Michigan University Libraries used qualitative and quantitative analysis of their 2004 LibQual+ data to identify needed improvements in service, information control and library as place dimensions. The LibQual+ data set was sufficiently large to allow SPSS analysis by user groups and by discipline. Interpretation and comparison of the data were facilitated by converting the desired, minimum and perceived values into a more tractable composite score. User comments, that are part of this survey, were analyzed using ATLAS.ti. Through an ongoing process of examination, refinement and interpretation of the available information, goals were defined, objectives developed and actions were instigated …
Forest Gardens Of The Maya, David A. Bainbridge
Forest Gardens Of The Maya, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
The lowland Maya supported very high populations in an area with limited water and soil. Much can be learned from studying their sophisticated management practices. Forest gardens and agroforestry helped provide key nutrients, materials, and inputs for improved soil.
