Proceedings Of The Fourth Symposium On Our Environment Held In Singapore

Proceedings of the Fourth Symposium on Our Environment, held in Singapore, May 21-23, 1990

This volume contains three keynote papers and 51 technical papers from contributors around the world on topics in the research and development of database systems, such as Data Modelling, Object-Oriented Databases, Active Databases, Data Mining, Heterogeneous Databases, Distributed Databases, Parallel Query Processing, Multi-Media Databases, Transaction Management Systems, Document Databases, Temporal Databases, Deductive Databases, User Interface, and Advanced Database Applications.

This book focuses on the worldwide threats to mangrove forests and the management solutions currently being used to counteract those hazards. Designed for the professional or specialist in marine science, coastal zone management, biology, and related disciplines, this work will appeal to those not only working to protect mangrove forests, but also the surrounding coastal areas of all types. Examples are drawn from many different geographic areas, including North and South America, India, and Southeast Asia. Subject areas covered include both human-induced and natural impacts to mangroves, intended or otherwise, as well as the efforts being made by coastal researchers to promote restoration of these coastal fringing forests.

This book consists of selected papers from the 2022 4th International Conference on Environment Sciences and Renewable Energy, which was held as a fully virtual conference during May 27–29, 2022. The book overviews the latest progress in environmental and energy technologies with a specific focus on wind turbines and hydrogen production. In the field of environmental science, wastewater treatment, air pollution abatement, solid waste treatment, and general policy recommendations are discussed. Technology advances, especially in wastewater nutrients and micropollutant removal, are covered. In policy measures, cost allocations, optimum recycling strategies, and environmental footprint allocations of different environmental technologies are included. In the field of renewable energy, several hot topics, including solar cells, offshore floating wind turbines, and renewable energy resource potentials in different regions are considered.
