Population
Article Abstract:
The global population is expected to swell by more than a billion people in the future and it is expected to have a huge impact on the current measures to improve energy efficiency, environmental monitoring, and industrial ecology. Research priorities in the future concerning the environment, therefore, should recognize the linkages with birth rates, child survival, economic development, education, and the economic and social status of women. Improvement must also be made to improve the universal accessibility of effective family planning information, contraceptives and health care.

Measurement of chlorophyll fluorescence by synchronous detection in integrating sphere: a modified analytical approach for the accurate determination of photosynthesis parameters for whole plants
Article Abstract:
The introduction of an integrating sphere resolves the problems associated with using pulse-amplified modulated (PAM) fluorescence to study chlorophyll fluorescence induction of plants. The integrating sphere acts as a measuring chamber in conjunction with PAM fluorometer system. The main components of the integrating sphere is the integrating modulated fluorometer, the high-brightness light-emitting diode and an innovative photodetection system which surmounts the detection problem of low flourescence intensity.

Anaerobic/Aerobic composting of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene-contaminated soil in a reactor system
Article Abstract:
Ninety percent of a compost mixture consisting 50% 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT)-contaminated soil, 30% chopped sugar beet, and 20% straw have transformed into monoaminodinitrotoluenes and diaminomonitrotoluenes after 19 and 58 days of anaerobic and aerobic composting, respectively. The TNT remediation sytem developed has allowed the identification of 3 conjugated TNT metabolites.
