Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMonitoring Growing Season Length of Deciduous Broad Leaf Forest Derived From Satellite Data in IranSasan Babaei Kafaki, Asadollah Mataji, Seyed Armin HashemiProblem statement: Leaf phenology describes the seasonal cycle of leaf functioning and is essential for understanding the interactions between the biosphere, the climate and biogeochemical cycles. This study aimed to quantify changes in plant phenology of deciduous broadleaf forests between the years 1982-1999 and investigate the relationships between the onset dates of phenology and climatic factors. Approach: We studied the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 8,559 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExpecting the Unexpected Macroeconomic Volatility and Climate PolicyGajendra Singh ChauhanProblem statement: Analysts have been comparing a policy scenario with a baseline scenario of future economic conditions without the policy, to estimate the emissions reductions and costs of a climate policy. Both scenarios required assumptions about the future course of numerous factors such as population growth, technical change and non-climate policies like taxes. Approach: The purpose of this study was … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,496 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing Culture, Policy and Traditional Knowledge to Improve Engagement in Science CoursesLawrence K. Duffy, Catherine Hurt Middlecamp, Anna Godduhn, Cindy E. FabbriProblem statement: In our undergraduate science courses, we need to engage students by including the current issues and concerns of our students as well as recognizing the place-based context in which they learn. Including culture, policy and traditional knowledge when it intersects with a chemical principle and a challenging real world issue adds concreteness to the scientific process. Approach: Science … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,187 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Factors Affecting Environmental Behavior of Urban Residents: A Case Study in Tehran City- IranKhalil Kalantari, Hossein Shabanali Fami, Ali Asadi, H. Movahed MohammadiEnvironmental problems such as air and water pollution, urban garbage and climate changes in urban areas are the results of human behavior. Only change in human behavior can reduce these environmental problems. Thus studying attitude and behavior of people is a precondition to change this situation. So the main objective of this study was to find out individual and social … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,935 accessesView PDFCite
