Sustainable economic growth within environmental limits. volume 1: guidance for the east midlands

LUC and GHK have developed a tool for setting environmental limits that local communities and other stakeholders can use. The three-step approach is based on the participation of the local community and other interested stakeholders, such as statutory agencies and businesses. It enables them to debate the use of important national, regional and local environmental assets, and the potential economic and social implications of setting environmental limits. The approach also provides a tool that can usefully support and inform other assessment requirements, such as Sustainability Appraisal/Strategic Environmental Assessment, Habitats Regulations Assessment and Equality Impact Assessment/Health Impact Assessment

Sustainable economic growth within environmental limits hypothetical case study: 'limitville'

A new approach to delivering ‘sustainable economic growth within environmental limits’ has been developed for the East Midlands. The approach is described in detail in a guidance document prepared by Land Use Consultants and GHK Consulting for emda and partners. The ‘Limitville’ case study was developed to test and illustrate the new approach

Satellite remote sensing for ice sheet research

Potential research applications of satellite data over the terrestrial ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica are assessed and actions required to ensure acquisition of relevant data and appropriate processing to a form suitable for research purposes are recommended. Relevant data include high-resolution visible and SAR imagery, infrared, passive-microwave and scatterometer measurements, and surface topography information from laser and radar altimeters

Tanam Lingkar Berjajar Untuk Meningkatkan Populasi Dan Produksi Pada Tanaman Jagung Manis (Zea Mays - Saccharata)

Produksi jagung manis dapat ditingkatkan melalui perbaikan genetik dan pengaturan ruang (tumbuh melalui pengaturan populasi tanaman dan ketersediaan unsurhara dan air yang cukup). Tujuan dari penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh tanam lingkar berjajar terhadap populasi dan produksi tanaman jagung manis. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Juli – Oktober 2017 di Ponorogo, Jawa Timur dengan ketinggian 140 m dpl dan jenis tanah adalah grumosol. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) yang terdiri dari empat perlakuan dengan enam kali ulangan. Faktor yang diteliti adalah metode tanam, meliputi : tanam tunggal dengan jarak tanam 20x60 cm; tanam lingkar berjajar dengan jarak tanam 50x70 cm; tanam lingkar berjajar dengan jarak tanam 60x80 cm; tanam lingkar berjajar dengan jarak tanam 70x80 cm. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa : 1). Perlakuan tanam lingkar berjajar meningkatkan populasi tanaman jagung manis sebesar 239 – 274 % dari tanam tunggal. 2). Tanam Lingkar berjajar dengan jarak tanam 70x80 cm dengan jumlah populasi 75.382 per Ha menghasilkan berat tongkol segar sebesar 26,06 ton/Ha

Investigation of the Efficiency of Use of Polycomponent Acidifiers in the Technology of Rye- Wheat Bread

The polycomponent acidifiers “Optimal 1” and “Optimal 2” were elaborated at the National University of food technologies (Kyiv city, Ukraine) for intensifying the technology of rye-wheat bread and prolongation of its freshness.The composition of acidifiers includes the enzymatic preparations (EP) Glusim 10000 Mono (glucose oxidase) that favors the improvement of structural-mechanical properties of dough, EP Pentopan 500 BG (mixture of pentosanase and hemilcellulase) that favors the modification of non-starched polysaccharides and provides elastic crumb. For providing the proper dough acidity and intensification of the process of dough fermentation, the acidifier composition is added with citeric acid and dry milk serum (DMS), and for improving organoleptic parameters – with rye fermented malt (RFM). For increasing dough water-absorbing ability and keeping products\u27 freshness in the process of storage, guar gum is added.The optimal dosage of PCA “Optimal 1” and “Optimal 2” in the recipe of rye-wheat bread is 2 % to the flour mass.There are considered technological aspects of acidifiers use. There are considered processes, connected with stalling, loss of organoleptic and physical-chemical parameters of the bread quality at storage. The positive effect of acidifiers on the parameters of crumbling and swelling of bread crumb at the accelerated technology of its preparation. It was established, that the use of acidifiers favors the deceleration of rye-wheat bread staling. There was obtained the positive influence of acidifiers on preserving smell and taste of ready products. The obtained results prove the expedience of using the elaborated polycomponent acidifiers “Optimal 1” and “Optimal 2” in the technology of rye-wheat bread at its accelerated preparation. The use of the elaborated acidifiers favors the shortening of the technological process of rye-wheat bread production in 2,5-3 times and provide freshness, taste and smell preservation in ready products
