Recent airpower operations revealed a deficiency in the United States Air Force’s (USAF) ability to precisely attack mobile targets at standoff ranges with minimal collateral damage. Future airpower operations will be executed in politically sensitive strategic environments and thus will require the ability to precisely destroy mobile targets that may have been strategically placed by an adversary in areas with a high risk of collateral damage. Current air-to-ground guided weapon systems, including man-in-the-loop guidance weapon systems, have limited “collateral reduction” capabilities; and future autonomous precision standoff weapon systems may increase the risk and uncertainty associated with collateral damage due to technology limitations. The acquisition of a precision standoff man-in-the-loop weapon system through the modification of current weapon systems or the acquisition of a new weapon system may provide the USAF a critically needed air-to-ground capability against mobile targets in a high-risk collateral damage environment....

Într-o economie globalizată, nivelurile medii de consum sunt în creştere ca urmare: a populaţiei mondiale în creştere; sporirii numărului de consumatori cu venituri medii şi mici şi extinderii unei culturi generale a consumului; sistemelor economice din societăţile industrializate bazate pe consum şi producţie. Modelele actuale de consum nu sunt durabile, iar îmbunătăţirile aduse eficienţei energetice şi apariţia de noi tehnologii nu reuşesc întotdeauna să le contrabalanseze (aşa-numitul „efect de recul" (Nivelul de economisire a resurselor creat de creşterea eficienţei, de exemplu prin noi tehnologii, restituit consumatorilor ca urmare a unui grad crescut de utilizare a serviciilor şi a unui consum crescut)), având drept rezultat o creştere a deteriorării mediului. Prin urmare, consumatorii trebuie orientaţi către produse şi servicii mai ecologice. Sunt necesare modificări în modul nostru de viaţă. În cazul consumatorilor, aceasta presupune modificarea modurilor în care aceştia aleg, utilizează şi elimină produsele şi serviciile. În acest context, comercianţii cu amănuntul, producătorii şi alţi actori trebuie să ajute societatea ...

Telelucrul, ca un nou mod de a lucra prin efectuarea unei activităţi (forme de muncă) flexibile în timp şi la distanţă, utilizând tehnologia informaţională şi comunicaţiile avansate, se concretizează în teleactivităţi şi teleservicii. În ultimii ani, s-au dezvoltat rapid noi tehnologii informaţionale şi de comunicare, astfel încât în centrul dezbaterilor ştiinţifice, politice şi economice din ultima perioadă a stat apariţia şi dezvoltarea Societăţii Informaţionale, generatoare de noi oportunităţi de muncă dar şi de schimbări esenţiale în ceea ce priveşte natura muncii şi modul de lucru, schimbări comparabile cu cele petrecute în revoluţia industrială.

This book covers a wide range of aspects of cattle and buffalo hide collection, storage and processing in Thailand. No previous collation of information on the subject exists and, together with research presented herein, this book represents a milestone in understanding of a neglected industry with great commercial potential from improved management. The story starts with the emergence of Thailand as one of the world’s major agricultural exporters in many fields often to the neglect of useful by-products. Treating hides as a by-product of the bovine industries has held Thailand’s own leather industry back. This book explains means by which it can be advanced to both national and commercial benefit. Because of the low quality of local hides in Thailand as in other developing countries, the end users in the industrial sector have long experienced major difficulties. As hide purchasers they need to meet quality requirements for their hide products in an efficient and financially viable manner. They operate without having the ways and means to deal with the existing problems of defects that originate from different sources in other seg...

This book describes what happened in the field of EcoDesign at the Consumer Electronics Division (PCE) of Philips Electronics in the years 1993-2008. Fifty stories illustrate the five overlapping stages of its development: Get the facts, stimulate creative thinking, implement and validate, integrate into design and production, and communicate results effectively. EcoDesign has been introduced to PCE through a bottom-up approach with an emphasis on common sense. This ensured a wide acceptance and a strong participation. As a result, EcoDesign turned out to have a significance which went far beyond just environmental improvements. Apart from direct cost reductions, it turned to be an effective concept to critically review decisions taken in the past. In its mature form it has grown into a powerful general management tool. ...

The electronics industry has been dealing with EcoDesign as of the early nineties of last century. There has been a variety of drivers to do so, varying from ethics to complying with (new) environmental legislation. After 25 years a new generation of EcoDesigners has entered the field. This generation operates from the wider sustainability perspective, that is taking apart from environmental also social and economic considerations into account. It is supported by a knowledge base which can be accessed through internet and through smart phones. This is quite a difference compared with the period when EcoDesign started. The scene has therefore changed but many issues to be addressed by EcoDesign have not. The key issues are still energy, materials, packaging and transport, chemical content and recyclability. Making EcoDesign successful in the business is facing similar hurdles as twenty years ago....

Odatã cu creşterea exponenţială a popularităţii Web-ului - instrument primordial de utilizare a Internetului - o activitate din ce în ce mai profitabilã a început sã fie exploatatã de cãtre un numãr crescând de companii: publicitatea şi marketingul electronic, instrumente ce oferã posibilităţi enorme la un cost minimal. Cu o rată de creştere mare a numărului de utilizatori, activitatea de marketing pe Internet devine mult mai uşoară decât cea prin metodele clasice. Dacă se ia în consideraţie faptul că o campanie tipică de marketing determină o rată de răspuns de cel puţin 2%, teoretic rezultă un număr de răspunsuri pe Internet de câteva mii, cel puţin.

Total consumption of milk in developing regions is projected to increase from 164 million metric tonnes in 1993 to 391 million metric tons by the year 2020 – a 138 percent increase! The expected increase in per capita consumption is from 38 to 62 kg/person. The triple effects of population increase, income growth and urbanisation will fuel this tremendous growth in demand. Milk provides quality protein and essential micronutrients needed for nutrient balance in marginal diets based on staple grain and root crops. The production of more milk in developing countries will help meet the needs of urban families at prices they can afford. With affordable prices, poor families, especially children, are more likely to consume the quality protein and essential micronutrients they need for healthy physical and mental development. Increasing dairy production is a major challenge for those engaged in international livestock development. Moreover, there are environmental concerns about livestock production in fragile landscapes, so increasing milk supply should be done in an environmentally sustainable manner. Research can help meet this c...

Thai agriculture is traced through prehistory, agro-cities, and religious empires with immigrant Tai, to a sustainable wet glutinous rice culture which shaped institutions for an exporting society. Agriculture's provision of security and wealth increased with population and Chinese and European agribusiness, until accessible land was expended. Employment, crisis resilience, self-sufficiency, rural social support, and culture were maintained through agriculture, although hampered by institutional orientations to taxation more than research and education. By the 1960s, agribusiness contrasted with small-holders. Thailand is one of the world's few major agricultural exporters, leading in rice, rubber, canned pineapple, black tiger prawn, and regional chicken meat production and export, and feeding four times its population from less intensive agriculture than its neighbours. Issues remain in poverty, education, research, governance, national debt, and sensitive alternatives for small-holders. Past specialties in irrigation, administration, export, multinational agribusiness, negotiation, retained potential, and acceptance of new ...
