Natural Resource Conflicts and Sustainable Development
Providing both a theoretical background and practical examples of natural resource conflict, this volume explores the pressures on natural resources leading to scarcity and conflict. It is shown that the causes and driving forces behind natural resource conflicts are diverse, complex and often interlinked, including global economic growth, exploding consumption, poor governance, poverty, unequal access to resources and power.The different interpretations of nature-culture and the role of humans in the ecosystem are often at the centre of the conflict.Natural resource conflicts range from armed conflicts to conflicts of interest between stakeholders in the North as well as in the South.The varying driving forces behind such disputes at different levels and scales are critically analysed, and approaches to facilitate and enforce mediation, transformation and collaboration at these levels and scales are presented and discussed.In order to transform existing resource conflicts, as well as to decrease the risk of future conflicts, approaches that enhance and enforce collaboration for sustainable development at global, regional, national and local levels are reviewed, and sustainable pathways suggested.A range of global examples is presented including water resources, fisheries, forests, human–wildlife conflicts, urban environments and the consequences of climate change. It will be a valuable text for advanced students of natural resource management, environment and development studies and peace and conflict management.The book will also be of interest to practitioners in the field of natural resource management.

Sustainable Development for Engineers : A Handbook and Resource Guide
It is crucial that engineers – from students to those already practising – have a deep understanding of the environmental threats facing the world, if they are to become part of the solution and not the problem.Is there a way to reconcile modern lifestyles with the compelling need for change?Could new improved technologies play a key role? If great leaps in the environmental efficiency of technologies are needed, can they be produced?Engineers are in a privileged and hugely influential position to innovate, design and build a sustainable future.But are they engaged or uninterested? Are they knowledgeable or ignorant? This book has been developed by a number of committed educators in European engineering departments under the leadership of Delft University of Technology and the Technical University of Catalunya to meet the perceived gap between what engineers know and what they should know in relation to sustainable development.The University of Delft decided as long ago as 1998 that all of its engineering graduates, working towards careers as designers, managers or researchers, should be prepared for the challenge of sustainable development and, as such, should leave university able to make sustainable development operational in their designs and daily practices.The huge amount of knowledge gathered on best-practice teaching for engineers is reflected in this book.The aim is to give engineering students a grounding in the challenge that sustainable development poses to the engineering profession, the contribution the engineer can make to attaining some of the societal and environmental goals of sustainability, and the barriers and pitfalls engineers will likely need to confront in their professional lives.Concise but comprehensive, the book examines the key tools, skills and techniques that can be used in engineering design and management to ensure that whole-life costs and impacts of engineering schemes are addressed at every stage of planning, implementation and disposal.The book also aims to demonstrate through real-life examples the tangible benefits that have already been achieved in many engineering projects, and to highlight how real improvements can be, and are being, made.Each chapter ends with a series of questions and exercises for the student to undertake.Sustainable Development for Engineers will be essential reading for all engineers and scientists concerned with sustainable development.In particular, it provides key reading and learning materials for undergraduate and postgraduate students reading environmental, chemical, civil or mechanical engineering, manufacturing and design, environmental science, green chemistry and environmental management.

Sustainable Management of Cordyceps : Supply Chains and Resource Management Policies
This book examines the challenges of sustainably managing and conserving Cordyceps sinensis, a rare species of fungus largely grown in Tibet, currently on the brink of extinction. As one of the most expensive commodities in the world, particularly valued for its medicinal properties in China, the price of Cordyceps has risen by over 900% since the 1970s.This has made it a very lucrative resource for farmers, many of whom are struggling to produce sufficient food to sustain themselves.Naturally, this has led to overharvesting and, coupled with the impacts of climate change, the crop itself is now at risk.Rarely discussed in Western literature, this book provides a novel examination of Cordyceps, looking into the necessary changes needed to sustainably manage and conserve this important crop.Drawing on extensive field work conducted in Qinghai-Tibet, the book analyzes the supply chain, identifying key issues around production and considering the role and impact of relevant stakeholders.It discusses the necessary changes needed for a sustainable supply change, particularly to stop long-term overharvesting.The book then discusses the role of policy and the institutional management of this resource in China, as one of the main producers and consumers.It analyzes current policy instruments and argues for a more coherent policy which is better orientated towards conservation and sustainable management, rather than solely market regulation. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of natural resource management, environmental conservation, environmental policy, and sustainable supply chain management.

Is the depletion-type MOSFET self-conducting?
No, the depletion-type MOSFET is not self-conducting. It requires an external voltage to be applied to the gate terminal in order to control the flow of current between the source and drain terminals. The depletion-type MOSFET operates in the depletion mode, meaning that it conducts current when no voltage is applied to the gate terminal, unlike the enhancement-type MOSFET which requires a voltage to be applied to the gate terminal to allow current flow.
