Extractions: Fabrik is a visual programming environment - a kit of computational and user-interface components that can be "wired" together to build new components and useful applications. Fabrik diagrams utilize bidirectional dataflow connections as a shorthand for multiple paths of flow. Built on object-oriented foundations, Fabrik components can compute arbitrary objects as outputs. Music and animation can be programmed in this way and the user interface can even be extended by generating graphical structures that depend on other data. An interactive type system guards against meaningless connections. As with simple dataflow, each Fabrik component can be compiled into an object with access methods corresponding to each of the possible paths of data propagation. Kits and Concrete Manipulation A kit is a set of primitive components, together with a framework for connecting the components to do new and interesting things. If objects built with the kit can in turn be used to augment the original set of components, then the range of application becomes very large, limited only by the capability of the primitive components and the manner of their interconnection. The kit approach has been around for a long time, manifest in the subroutine libraries of the last three decades. However, the ability to browse through, and experiment with the available components was extremely primitive, owing to the textual orientation of underlying computing environments during those early years.

Site Map Sustainability Electricity Supply Economic Contribution Aluminium's Life Cycle Climate Change ... The Aluminium Industry's Sustainable Development Report The Shipshaw powerhouse is part of an extensive hydroelectric network operated by Alcan in Quebec, Canada. Aluminium is a sustainable material. At the current primary aluminium production level, known bauxite reserves will last for hundreds of years. More than 55 per cent of the world's aluminium production is powered by renewable hydro-electric power. Products made from aluminium can be recycled repeatedly to produce new products. The increasing use of recycled metal saves both energy and mineral resources needed for primary production.
Extractions: History of the U.S Cultural Environment: A Brief Guide to Research History of the U.S. Cultural Environment is a research and bibliographic guide to UC Berkeley print and Web resources for the study of the American cultural and built environment, and will be of particular interest to students in Environmental Design 169. For general research advice, see the Environmental Design Library's general guides . Related useful guides are Finding Local Information American Communities History of Landscape Architecture, Vernacular Architecture, a Guide to Resources , and Finding Information on Buildings and Places . For additional assistance consult the Environmental Design Library reference staff. UC Berkeley faculty, registered students, and staff who are off campus may use items marked UCB Only or UC Only by installing Connecting@Berkeley on their computer or by using The Library's proxy service.

Extractions: Main Page News Events Introduction ... Other Links Radiation in the space environment comes from the trapped particle belts, solar particle events and cosmic rays. The radiation belts consist principally of electrons of up to a few MeV energy and protons of up to several hundred MeV energy. These are trapped in the Earth's magnetic field; their motions in the field consist of a gyration about field lines, a bouncing motion between the magnetic mirrors found near the Earth's poles, and a drift motion around the Earth [ Hess ] (Fig. 1). Figure 1: The Basic Motions of Trapped Particles in the Earth's Magnetic Field. Radiation is an obvious concern for manned missions. In the near-term, manned activities are limited to low altitude, and mainly low-inclination missions. The International Space Station Space Shuttle ERS-2 EnviSat and other low altitude missions will therefore encounter the inner edge of the radiation belt. This region is dominated by the " South Atlantic Anomaly " - an area of enhanced radiation (Fig. 2) caused by the offset and tilt of the geomagnetic axis with respect to the earth's rotation axis.
Extractions: Musicians United to Sustain the Environment (M. U. S. E.) is a rapidly growing non-profit environmental organization with two primary goals. First, we raise funds for effective grassroots environmental projects through CD sales, concerts, and public donations. Secondly, as we ply our musical craft, we heighten environmental awareness a vital step to help ensure the sustainable stewardship of our ecosystems We are particularly interested in efforts to protect endangered or threatened species and preserve existing wilderness habitats. Also, our emphasis is on environmental education for our young the soon-to-be stewards of our natural heritage.

Extractions: Welcome to the ODI Forest Policy and Environment Programme (FPEP). FPEP seeks to inform the processes of policy change in tropical forestry in ways which improve the livelihoods and well-being of the forest-dependent poor, whilst also securing the long-term future of forest resources. We do this by: Current research centres on: Forestry provides an important entry point for governance initiatives. The very factors that make forestry such a challenging sector also mean that it offers valuable ways of understanding governance, governance failures, and assessing the impacts of public policies on the poor and the environment.
