Existing sustainability impact evaluation frameworks have limited suitability for developing economies due to their failure to fully account for unique economic, social, and environmental conditions. Adaptation is necessary to address local complexities and data limitations, potentially through context-specific frameworks like realist evaluations.

Puleng Mpete

Existing sustainability impact evaluation frameworks, while useful in a general context, are often not sufficiently tailored to the specifics of developing economies. Multinational enterprises operating in these economies face unique challenges, such as weak institutional capacities, lack of infrastructure, and specific social and environmental conditions that differ significantly from those of developed markets. Many current sustainability evaluation frameworks are based on global standards that do not take into account these specific local characteristics, making the assessment of sustainable business practices less relevant to the concrete needs and challenges in developing economies. Therefore, there is a need to develop specific tools and methodologies that will enable more accurate and effective impact assessments, tailored to the various social, economic, and environmental conditions that exist in these countries.

thank you so much for your answer which opened to me new, so far unknown perspectives. My question was conceived in a specific educational context of a public secondary school which works on an atelier basis with 60 adolescents aged between 13 and 16 working in the same room at least once a day. If only three or four of them aren't capable of controlling their impulses, teaching is severely disrupted. The demonstration by Smith et al. (2018) that you cite, that methylphenidate treatment does not enhance executive function, such as working memory and problem solving, does not support my hypothesis (derived from personal experiences in type 1 diabetes) that a refined dosage scheme of methylphenidate could lead to enhanced learning performance. However, I would not abandon completely the hypothesis that the instauration of a systematic self-efficacy feedback mechanism could help stabilize the collective learning process and the social integration of neuro-diverse individuals in a school environment. In summary, your input might also be an ergument to rethink the concept of the type of atelier teaching in a public school which has a mission to integrate children from a multi-ethnic. multi-cultural background.

Yes! I have been working on a system which is a real time voltage and current detector. You need to create an API which accept post request. Then store those results in the database.

Dear Prof Borys

l am thrilled to receive reply from an expert having three decades experience in Earthquake and related issues. Your patented technology has great contribution for further development.

International Experts like you should meet once in four years to review and guide Researcher(s) to achieve our ultimate goal.

The gathering, exchange, and sharing of water resources information is addressed in two multi-national conventions for transboundary water management: The 1992 United Nations Economic Commission for Europe's (UNECE) Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes (UNECE, 1992) and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Non-navigational uses of International Watercourses (UNWCC, 1997).

Effective data exchange solutions:

Micro-seismic investigation definitely pave the way for assesment of dynamic stability of caverns. However, the signals should be recorded and interpreted on daily basis and with due care & precision.

Try running your gels with these settings:

250 V constant voltage

30 mA current (for each gel)

I use this configuration on Bio-RAD Mini Protean apparatus and it takes about 70 minutes to finish. If the problem persists, check and/or replace your buffer and try using a 2X solution.

Mattia is correct. For a home, the CR-39 is for a minimum of 90 days and the RAD7 is for 1 hour house measurements over a few days. To find hot spots, use the RAD 7 (be aware of Rn-220 response)

Thank you Pratikshya Regmi sister. Great resources.

You are welcome.

Ola...nunca analisei esse parâmetro. Sugiro encaminhar sua duvida para a EMBRAPA:

WiFi with ESP8266 works well, and is a good start, even for microcontroller beginners. However, I am not sure if RG is the best place to ask such kind of technical questions. I would recommend to place your question on StackOverflow instead. Use the correct tag [esp8266], post your code sketch, and provide enough information about your setting.

To answer your headline question, yes. Providing that you do not deform the gauge beyond the strain limit (3% or 30000×10-6 strain) at any point it should be suitable. The gauge you have chosen claims to compensate for heating during deformation and tightening effects, which will also be important if you are repeatedly taking measurements over time.

Regarding your pictured setup however I have some questions. These are not critiques, just observations and considerations:

I assume you are looking to measure a change in angle of the slope relative the horizontal axis (assuming there is no deflection within the slope) and not the deflection within the slope using this setup? If you are looking to measure the former, then it is suitable providing the pipe is not stiff enough to significantly deflect the slope during the measurement. If it is the latter, then the setup is only suitable if two of these three variables are fixed: location of force, degree of force and angle of force relative to the slope .

How are you deciding the dimensions of the PVC pipe and the placement of your gauges?

Why not use a strip of PVC? Is it due to concerns about exceeding the gauges strain limit so you want increased stiffness?

Hello Dariusz: Just this morning I read about this episode in the Los Angeles Times. The article was written from the point of view of German environmental agencies and a political exchange with the Polish government. The impression I got was that the source of the toxins and a reasonable list of the toxins has not yet been determined. If that's true, then, the first order of business is the identification of the problem and its source(s). It sounded like the problem is a complex one. Polish and German scientists must been collaborating before June. What do those folks have to say? Best regards, Jim Des Lauriers

Richard Fenner and Steve Mounce have done work using Kalman filters for leak detection in water distribution networks Seyed.

I have not used VWP. This might be an alternative to consider. For normal well monitoring of water level, pressure transducers seem to work well. The vented type includes a wire the length of the deepest measurement depth, and does not need to be corrected for barometric pressure. The unvented transducer is self contained, and could be lowered any reasonable distance, but the data needs to be corrected for barometric pressure. Both transducers I am familiar with has an internal battery and data logger that can be programmed for desired frequency of readings. In use for stream or high salinity areas, the membrane can be fouled by sediment or minersl accumulations, so some periodic maintenance or repair with recalibration of depth may be needed in those circumstances. Typically thousands of readings could be collected with the data logger, but I typically took readings every 5-15 minutes, and downloaded and check function about monthly. In a situation with perched water table, one would need two boreholes to appropriate depth, and each with a transducer.

Thank you David

The GreenSeeker™ handheld sensor is an easy-to-use optical sensor that instantly measures plant health and vigor in terms of NDVI readings. The sensor emits brief bursts of red and infrared light, then measures the amount of each type of light reflected back from the plant. Trimble GreenSeeker handheld crop sensor is an affordable, easy-to-use measurement device to assess the health — or vigor — of a crop in order to make better nutrient management decisions on your farm.Use the GreenSeeker handheld to instantly take a reading of your crop’s health. Readings can be used to make non-subjective decisions regarding the amount of fertilizer to be applied to your crop, resulting in more efficient use of fertilizer — a benefit to your bottom line and the environment.The optimal range that the sensor should be used at is anywhere from 24 to 48 inches or 60 to 120 centimeters above the crop canopy.At the beginning of the season, the NDVI index helps to understand how the plant has survived through the winter.

arious vegetation indices are often used in precision farming, and the NDVI is the most popular one. It allows you to monitor fields and crops at any point of the globe using satellite images. Here is a simple explanation of what the NDVI vegetation index is and how to use it for field analysis. 1 1 If the NDVI is lower than 0.15, most probably all the plants died in this part of the field. ...

2 2 0.15−0.2 is also a low value. ...

3 3 0.2−0.3 is a relatively good value. ...

4 4 0.3−0.5 is a good value.

Healthy plant actively absorbs red light and reflects near infrared.

NDVI=(NIR-RED)/(NIR+RED)

1. -If the NDVI is lower than 0.15, most probably all the plants died in this part of the field. Typically, these figures correspond to plowed soil without any vegetation.

2.-0.15−0.2 is also a low value. This may indicate that plants started wintering in the early phenological phase, before tillering.

3.-0.2−0.3 is a relatively good value. Probably, the plants entered the tillering stage and have resumed vegetation.

4-0.3−0.5 is a good value. Nevertheless, you should keep in mind that high NDVI values can indicate that plants wintered at a late phenological stage. If the satellite image was taken before the resuming of vegetation, then it is necessary to analyze the zone after the resuming of the vegetation also.

5-Above 0.5 is an abnormal value for the post-wintering period. It is better to check this field zone yourself.

This work has presented an intelligent home automation system based on IoT technologies, cloud computing, and a machine learning algorithm. The home automation system allows remote and local control of the home via an Android-based mobile application. The system controls electrical home appliances, monitors environmental conditions through temperature, humidity, and light sensors, and ensures home security through a motion sensor and an IoT camera. The system makes intelligent decisions to automatically turn ON or OFF lights and allow the user to view a picture of the person captured by the camera and decide whether to save it. The system is scalable, and the application allows additional appliances with an extra configured point, simply named outlet in our work. Also, the mobile application uses a real-time cloud database to record data gathered. It also displays the trend of the readings graphically on the screen of the mobile application. These data can be analyzed and used for future prediction. The next phase of the work will be to use a dataset of several real-life images captured by the camera from the system or sourced from relevant datasets in the field of home automation and train a machine learning algorithm to classify them so that the system could differentiate between an intruder and the home occupants. Also, we plan to enhance the system such that the user will only receive captured images of an intruder, and other captured images will be saved in real-time into the cloud-based database of the system. This will remove the limitation on the encumbrance of a load of images on the mobile application. In addition, machine learning will also be used to enhance the PIR sensor’s performance to differentiate between an animal, the occupant, and an intruder. This will reduce the notification from the PIR sensor to the user. The machine learning algorithm will also be applied to classify detected images to work with several occupants and a larger data set of intruders.

Very cool! Congratulations on the paper! That instructions page can save someone's time in the future!

Hi all,

In case anyone is going through a similar issue. I managed to recover the signal by changing the 'BNC-video to VGA video converter' to a DAGE-MTI supplied 'Composite to USB-C converter'. It is more expensive, but is working fine now.

Dear Sandy,

Thank you very much. In your opinion, the images of this satellite, since they have a very low spatial resolution (about 10 km and Modis half a kilometer), will have a good estimation accuracy in monitoring drought in very dry areas. And given the two-year joint course of Modis and AVHRR, what do you think of the relationship between them by regression communication?@Sandy Bartle

Dear Eloise Hench,

My best guess is that HTR is an indicator for high temperature, since (especially these old) devices have an operational temperature range up to about 40-50°C usually, so I think if the temperature inside the anaerobic chamber exceeds this limit, the HTR light flashes.

Very interesting question

You can find your answer in the FAO56 manual as a footnote to the kc table.

"16 The pineapple plant has very low transpiration because it closes its stomates during the day and opens them during the night. Therefore, the majority of ETc from pineapple is evaporation from the soil. The Kc mid < Kc ini since Kc mid occurs during full ground cover so that soil evaporation is less. Values given assume that 50% of the ground surface is covered by black plastic mulch and that irrigation is by sprinkler. For drip irrigation beneath the plastic mulch, Kc's given can be reduced by 0.10"

Hi Ritah,

The answer to this is rather simple to describe, but more complex to implement, particularly the collection of the data. A simple approach is to identify the critical behaviors that must be followed and build them into an observational checklist. If used with a number of employees, you could report percentage compliance for each behavior or overall. This approach could be modified by first determining the importance of each behavior (e.g., crucial, important, or recommended) and building this into the analysis. Since you are dealing with a finite number of employees, the analyses will be simple descriptive statistics such as frequency counts and proportions (or percentages). I hope this is helpful.

Dear Dr. Sana Mirza ,

long-term change of corrosion potential (open-circuit potential) reflects a change in a corrosion system because the change in corrosion potential depends on the change in one or both of the anodic and cathodic reactions. For example, an increase in corrosion potential can be attributed to a decrease in the anodic reaction with the growth of a passive film or the increase in the cathodic reaction with an increase in dissolved oxygen. A decrease in corrosion potential can be attributed to an increase in the anodic reaction or a decrease in the cathodic reaction. The monitoring of corrosion potential is therefore often carried out (ISO 16429, 2004; JIS T 6002). For the test solution, saline, phosphate buffer saline, Ringer solution, culture medium, serum and artificial saliva are typically used. The corrosion potential of the specimen can be monitored against a reference electrode using an electrometer with high input impedance (1011 Ω ~ 1014 Ω) or a potentiostat.

For more details, please see the source: Monitoring of corrosion potential by S. Hiromoto, in Metals for Biomedical devices, 2010.

The most widely used electrochemical method of determining the corrosion rate is the Stern-Geary method which allows to evaluate the corrosion current (i corr), an essential parameter from which to derive the corrosion rate of the material in that particular environment.

My best regards, Pierluigi Traverso.

How to run the WRF-Chem model using CAMS data as initial and boundary conditions (BC)?

The moisture in the instrument can be controlled several ways that could be compatible with your measurement requirements.

Any further suggestions requires knowing your sampling requirements and the intended accuracy to meet your experimental needs.

Taynara Oliveira - regarding the Lumerical article, as far as I can tell, they are calculating a 2-D overlap integral over the waveguide cross-section.

I believe there are some errors in the web page, for example using S rather than dS in the first overlap integral. Their approach using both E and H fields looks similar to an integral over contributions to the Poynting vector which I had not seen before. Google found references to its use with waveguides which are birefringent or chiral, and these may give you more background.

Lumerical reference A. W. Snyder and J. D. Love, "Optical Waveguide Theory". London: Kluwer Academic Publishers (1983).

Snyder and Love describe both vector treatments and scalar wave approximations for waveguide propagation. Chapter 20 begins with the vector results, but mostly deals in the weakly guiding limit, where it is sufficient to consider only the electric field components. They consider various Gaussian approximations (as suggested by David A. Ackerman) in some detail.

As I pointed out in my first response, and as David also states, with radial symmetry, it is possible to reduce the 2D overlap to 1-dimensional integrals, but it is essential to include the appropriate radial weighting.

Not including a radial weighting factor is a likely reason for your 20% discrepancy.

Attatched is a comparison of 1D and 2D overlap integrals for a Gaussian mode field, and a "top hat" illumination field.

Hi John,

I am working on Trust implementation in RPL.

thank you.

Hi Raymond,

400m is challenging but should work.

a pressure level sensor should work, if they are able to manufacture a 400m gauge wire.

I’ve worked a lot with these devices and they are quite durable. You can set up them for automatic monitoring. If you need a high failure safety, you can setup them in a array of 2 or 3.

if you are looking for manual monitoring devices, a contact gauge is a easy to use tool.

There are some other methods, like pneumatic level monitoring but I have no practical experience in terms of durability.

the diameter of the borehole should be at least 100mm with smooth edges.

Further to the answer of Gamal. Yes, you could disaggregate the census data (number of persons per admin unit, e.g. county/district/census enumeration area in vector format) to RS pixel size e.g. 1 km square DEM by number and type of residential building. These residential buildings may also be extracted from RS imagery. Evidently you need also data on number of persons per household. This has been done systematically across the European Union. You may wish to have a look at this approach. In case you need a refence, let me know.

Thanks Amal Charles

Margaret, although a good suggestion, I doubt that Labconco has replacement parts for something that old. If it's just the transducer that's out, you may be able to find a replacement - check the manual or with Labconco for the specs. If it's a system problem, then an external gauge is warranted. There a literally dozens (or more) options for vacuum gauges. A couple of suggested sources: Kurt J. Lesker: https://www.lesker.com/newweb/pressuremeasurement.cfm or Omega Engineering: https://www.omega.com/en-us/.

Current guidelines recommend giving the maximum feasible inspired oxygen during CPR based on the premise that restoring depleted oxygen levels and correcting tissue hypoxia improves survival.

SPC is a non-trivial business, above all when realizing that semiconductor device features have reached sub-nm sizes and the specifications are strongly demanding in terms of accuracy and repeatibility on single (12 in.) wafer, wafer-by-wafer in a batch, and across several successive batches.

A simple answer to your question is that the UCL and LCL are normally fixed as a multiple of the variance of a process (for the given characteristics under control), e.g. 3sigma. In any case, the two limits must stay within the window given by the spec, which are fixed by design. However, this answer is too simplistic. I suggest you to carefully read some detailed book on the SPC topic.. You may start from the downlodable one at the link https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.465.9904&rep=rep1&type=pdf
