Protecting the environment is often not the primary objective of
businesses. As the world has become more environmentally aware, the
necessity of environmental regulations becomes apparent. Voluntary
Environmental Programs: A Policy Perspective examines different
approaches to environmental protection in business. Environmental
improvements on the part of industry often result from government
regulations that command certain action on the part of industry and
then control how well they perform. An alternative approach is
Voluntary Environmental Agreements (VEA), where firms voluntarily
commit to make certain environmental improvements individually, as
part of an industry association, or under the guidance of a
government entity. For example, many new initiatives targeted
towards climate change originate from companies that voluntarily
commit to reduce their carbon output or "footprint." Voluntary
Environmental Programs (VEP) provides an overview of current
research on VEPs, looking at issues such as what motivates firms to
participate, how a VEP structure affects a company's efficiency and
credibility with stakeholders, and who monitors compliance of
participants. This current work examines how a firm's environmental
performance over time compares with VEP commitments. This book also
discusses the particular considerations for VEPs in developing
countries, where information flows and regulatory oversight
capacities differ from the U.S.
After 9/11, forensic epidemiology emerged as a leading
investigative tool, partnering public health officers with law
enforcement like never before. Based on the authors' first-hand
experience, Forensic Epidemiology brings to light the vast amounts
of information collected by medical examiners that will be useful
in advancing death investigation techniques among the forensic
science, public health, and law enforcement fields. This practical
resource begins with a brief overview of epidemiological science
and the history of forensic epidemiology before examining the
multiple functions of death certificates and the signature role of
forensic epidemiologists in death investigations. Incorporating
numerous illustrations and real-world examples, the book: Explains
proven methods to collect, analyze, and interpret data for criminal
investigations Defines the terminology, methodology, procedures,
and goals of all sectors involved for more effective collaboration
Examines deaths from natural, suicidal, accidental, homicidal, and
undetermined causes Describes the various decomposition states and
methods used to establish positive identity The increased frequency
of criminal acts that involve deliberate biological and chemical
agents underscores the need for collaboration between law
enforcement investigators and public health professionals. As
Forensic Epidemiology effectively demonstrates, when they work
together, they can mount a powerful and successful response to
threats to the American public. Dr. Steven A. Koehler was
interviewed in Volume 12 of Anil Aggrawal's Internet Journal of
Forensic Medicine and Toxicology.
The first advanced textbook to provide a useful introduction in a
brief, coherent and comprehensive way, with a focus on the
fundamentals. After having read this book, students will be
prepared to understand any of the many multi-authored books
available in this field that discuss a particular aspect in more
detail, and should also benefit from any of the textbooks in
photochemistry or spectroscopy that concentrate on a particular
mechanism. Based on a successful and well-proven lecture course
given by one of the authors for many years, the book is clearly
structured into four sections: electronic structure of organic
semiconductors, charged and excited states in organic
semiconductors, electronic and optical properties of organic
semiconductors, and fundamentals of organic semiconductor devices.
Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer
Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfangen des Verlags
von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv
Quellen fur die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche
Forschung zur Verfugung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext
betrachtet werden mussen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor
1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen
Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.
Das Kompendium ist als Arbeitsbuch fur die tagliche Praxis des
Radiologen, Unfallchirurgen, Orthopaden und Traumatologen gedacht.
Eine rasche Orientierung ermoeglichen - die straffe, tief
gestaffelte Gliederung, - Checklisten fur die systematische
Bildanalyse, - synoptische Befunddarstellungen in Skizzen, -
Tabellen und UEbersichten. Abgedeckt ist das gesamte Spektrum der
traumatologischen Roentgendiagnostik inkl. Schadelhirntrauma,
Verletzungen des Koerperstamms sowie roentgendiagnostisch
erfassbarer Sportverletzungen. Auf den Abdruck von Roentgenbildern
wurde verzichtet, da Fallbeispiele, im Gegensatz zu Skizzen, immer
nur einen Teil der moeglichen Befunde wiedergeben koennen. Dafur
sind auf der beiliegenden CD-Rom Roentgenaufnahmen abgespeichert
und in eine interaktiv gefuhrte Bildanalyse eingebunden.
