Quantifying land-based sources of plastic pollution in South Africa
… litter entering marine environments comes from land-based sources, yet there is little empirical evidence to support this. Most studies to date predict the flux of litter from land to sea using global models based on a handful of field studies conducted mostly in developed, Northern Hemisphere …

Multinational emission inventories for land-based nonroad engines and residential combustion
… these two sectors have been previously developed based on simple calculations which do not reflect plausible causes of technology choice and evolution of technology in each region. This dissertation focuses on emissions in these two categories because the emission contributions are relatively …

Control of land-based marine pollution in Southeast Asia : a legal perspective
Marine pollution from land-based sources is a new and challenging topic in international law development. Since the subject matter of land-based marine pollution is very complex in social-economic and scientific terms, the implementation of the newly developed rules of international law on …

Utilization of aerial sensor platforms for characterization of land-based, distributed radiological sources for radiological event response
A method to characterize distributed radiological sources and the environment using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and commercial-of-the-shelf hardware and software was developed and implemented. High-altitude aerial surveys typically used for widespread distributed sources lack the spatial …

Land based air power or aircraft carriers? The British debate about maritime air power in the 1960s
… about the questions of carrier aviation versus land-based air power – and which strategic option would best answer the British need to maintain influence as the garrisons were being scaled down. The Royal Navy argued for replacement fleet carriers for their mobile seaborne strategy, while the …

Platform gambling and the redistribution of wealth in the land-based betting industry : a critical realist case study
… online gambling – within the United Kingdom’s land-based betting industry. The study specifically explores if platform gambling can be perceived as exacerbating the view that the industry relocates capital to its owners. The study’s Marxist, theoretical lens through which data are analysed …

Towards a theory of the configuration and management of export-dependent land-based value systems: The case of New Zealand
Land-based industries provide the majority of New Zealand's export earnings. The scale of production in the larger industries accounting for this trade creates significant dependency on export markets. The performance of these industries in the international location, therefore, has a marked …

Particle Size, Gas Temperature, and Impingement Cooling Effects on High Pressure Turbine Deposition in Land Based Gas Turbines from Various Synfuels
Four series of tests were performed in an accelerated deposition test facility to study the independent effects of particle size, gas temperature, and metal temperature on ash deposits from two candidate power turbine synfuels. The facility matches the gas temperature and velocity of modern first …
