Book Synopsis Resilience: A New Paradigm of Nuclear Safety by : Joonhong Ahn
Download or read book Resilience: A New Paradigm of Nuclear Safety written by Joonhong Ahn and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is published open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book summarizes presentations and discussions from the two-day international workshop held at UC Berkeley in March 2015, and derives questions to be addressed in multi-disciplinary research toward a new paradigm of nuclear safety. The consequences of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident in March 2011 have fuelled the debate on nuclear safety: while there were no casualties due to radiation, there was substantial damage to local communities. The lack of common understanding of the basics of environmental and radiological sciences has made it difficult for stakeholders to develop effective strategies to accelerate recovery, and this is compounded by a lack of effective decision-making due to the eroded public trust in the government and operators. Recognizing that making a society resilient and achieving higher levels of safety relies on public participation in and feedback on decision-making, the book focuses on risk perception and mitigation in its discussion of the development of resilient communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This series of five volumes proposes an integrated description of physical processes modeling used by scientific disciplines from meteorology to coastal morphodynamics. Volume 1 describes the physical processes and identifies the main measurement devices used to measure the main parameters that are indispensable to implement all these simulation tools. Volume 2 presents the different theories in an integrated approach: mathematical models as well as conceptual models, used by all disciplines to represent these processes. Volume 3 identifies the main numerical methods used in all these scientific fields to translate mathematical models into numerical tools. Volume 4 is composed of a series of case studies, dedicated to practical applications of these tools in engineering problems. To complete this presentation, volume 5 identifies and describes the modeling software in each discipline.
Book Synopsis Places of Refuge by : Eric Van Hooydonk
Download or read book Places of Refuge written by Eric Van Hooydonk and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-11-26 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for specific legal arrangements governing ships in distress and places of refuge is one of the most topical problems in both public and private maritime law. The headline grabbing shipping disasters involving the loss of the Erika (1999) and the Prestige (2002) attracted the attention of the IMO, the Comité Maritime International, the European Union, national maritime authorities around the globe and the maritime industry in general. Ultimately the impact of pollution on local economies and the environment was enough to arouse the concern of a broad swathe of public opinion. Places of Refuge provides clarity on: • The scope of the right of access • The conditions under which coastal authorities may deny access • The liability of authorities granting or denying access • The basis and the conditions of financial securities • The obligation to establish contingency plans

Book Synopsis Compensation for Environmental Damages Under International Law by : Tarcísio Hardman Reis
Download or read book Compensation for Environmental Damages Under International Law written by Tarcísio Hardman Reis and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At present there is no clear model under international law with which to determine compensation for environmental damage. After showing that no existing standard of compensation defined by the theory and practice of international law is adequate to cover all cases involving environmental damages - and that such a broad standard or set of standards may in fact be ultimately unachievable - the author of this important book develops a 'fair compensation' regime from an analysis of existing international dispute adjudication mechanisms, and presents this model as the best possible current approach to the conciliation of international responsibility and environmental interests.
Book Synopsis Introduction à l'écotoxicologie : Fondements et applications by : RAMADE François
Download or read book Introduction à l'écotoxicologie : Fondements et applications written by RAMADE François and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2007-03-15 with total page 651 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans le contexte de crise planétaire de l'environnement, l'écotoxicologie apporte des réponses scientifiques précises sur les effets des polluants sur les écosystèmes. Depuis son apparition dans les années 1970, la discipline n'a cessé de se développer, se complexifier, au point qu'il est aujourd'hui difficile d'en avoir une vision d'ensemble. Pionnier français de la discipline, François Ramade propose aujourd'hui cette synthèse exposant et expliquant l'ensemble des notions fondamentales du domaine. L'ouvrage délimite le champ de l'écotoxicologie, notamment en analysant les modalités et mécanismes de la pollution des habitats terrestres et aquatiques. Il fait le tour des notions physiques, biologiques, chimiques et toxicologiques essentielles pour mesurer les effets des polluants. Une large partie de l'ouvrage est consacrée aux conséquences des pollutions. Dans un souci de clarté, les données sont présentées selon un ordre croissant de complexité biologique : de la population à la biosphère en passant par les écosystèmes. Les données les plus récentes ont été intégrées, concernant particulièrement la dimension écologique de la notion de toxique, la détermination des paramètres quantitatifs propres à l'écotoxicologie (indices d'évaluation et seuils de sécurité), la radioécotoxicologie et les biomarqueurs. L'ouvrage prend en compte les réglementations les plus récentes, telle la directive européenne REACH liée à la toxicité de plus de 30 000 produits utilisés dans l'UE, et propose un exposé des méthodes d'évaluation et de prévision du risque environnemental. Ce traité s'adresse aux ingénieurs concernés par la prévention des pollutions et l'évaluation des risques, aux techniciens en charge de la protection environnementale, aux étudiants et enseignants en sciences de l'environnement et en toxicologie, aux agronomes, ainsi qu'au professionnels du domaine biomédical.

Book Synopsis Functional Jurisdiction in the Law of the Sea by : Maria Gavouneli
Download or read book Functional Jurisdiction in the Law of the Sea written by Maria Gavouneli and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2007-12-31 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Law of the Sea Convention has now reached 25 years of presence in the international scene as a constitution for the oceans. It was the product of a long and arduous negotiation with a final product of delicate balance. The purpose of this book is to examine whether the basic premises and essential compromises of the Convention still hold true or whether the Convention, as a living instrument, has evolved into accommodating new needs and challenges to its regulatory scheme. The vehicle chosen is the jurisdictional interplay between the States, as flag States, coastal States and port States, and the world community at large in matters relating to navigation, fisheries, access to the biological resources of the deep seabed or even maritime security. The result confirms the solid foundations of the Convention and its ability to evolve and expand without upsetting its essential balance. A book useful to all those interested in the law of the sea and the structure of international law.
Book Synopsis The Struggle for Water by : Wendy Nelson Espeland
Download or read book The Struggle for Water written by Wendy Nelson Espeland and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1998-09 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly fifty years ago, the Bureau of Reclamation proposed building a dam at the confluence of two rivers in Central Arizona. While the dam would bring valuable water to this arid plain, it would also destroy a wildlife habitat, flood archaeological sites, and force the Yavapai Indians off their ancestral home. The Struggle for Water is not only the fascinating story of this controversial and ultimately thwarted public works project but also a study of rationality as a cultural, organizational, and political construct. In the 1970s, the three groups most intimately involved in the Orme Dam—younger Bureau of Reclamation employees committed to "rational choice" decision making, older Bureau engineers committed to the dam, and the Yavapai community—all found themselves and their values transformed by their struggles. Wendy Nelson Espeland lays bare the relations between interests and identities that emerged during the conflict, creating a contemporary tale of power and colonization, bureaucracies and democratic practice, that asks the crucial question of what it means to be "rational."

Download or read book Silent Spill written by Thomas D. Beamish and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2002-02-01 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Guadalupe Dunes, 170 miles north of Los Angeles and 250 miles south of San Francisco, an oil spill persisted unattended for 38 years. Over the period 1990-1996, the national press devoted 504 stories to the Exxon Valdez accident and a mere nine to the Guadalupe spill—even though the latter is most likely the nation's largest recorded oil spill. Although it was known to oil workers in the field where it originated, to visiting regulators, and to locals who frequented the beach, the Guadalupe spill became troubling only when those involved could no longer view the sight and smell of petroleum as normal. This book recounts how this change in perception finally took place after nearly four decades and what form the response took. Taking a sociological perspective, Thomas Beamish examines the organizational culture of the Unocal Corporation (whose oil fields produced the leakage), the interorganizational response of regulatory agencies, and local interpretations of the event. He applies notions of social organization, social stability, and social inertia to the kind of environmental degradation represented by the Guadalupe spill. More important, he uses the Guadalupe Dunes case as the basis for a broader study of environmental "blind spots." He argues that many of our most pressing pollution problems go unacknowledged because they do not cause large-scale social disruption or dramatic visible destruction of the sort that triggers responses. Finally, he develops a model of social accommodation that helps explain why human systems seem inclined to do nothing as trouble mounts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Dramma per musica', the most usual term for Italian serious opera from the seventeenth to the early nineteenth century, was a modern, enlightened form of theater that presented a unified, artistically designed, dramatic enactment of human stories, expressed by the voice and underscored by the orchestra. This book illustrates the diversity of this baroque art form and explains how it has given us opera as we know it.
Book Synopsis Principles of European Environmental Law by : Richard Macrory
Download or read book Principles of European Environmental Law written by Richard Macrory and published by Europa Law Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The precautionary principle, the polluters pay principle, and similar principles have become embedded in the language of contemporary environment policy. In this important new study, leading European experts in environmental law consider the legal significance of such environmental principles, both in jurisprudential theory and in practice before the courts. The development of the principles within the European Treaty is considered as well as the approach of the European Court of Justice to their interpretation. But it is the interpretation of environmental principles in front of national courts within Europe that forms the heart of the study, with chapters covering a number of the key Europe jurisdictions. The study, the first of its kind, presents a dynamic picture of environmental case law across Europe.
