One of the biggest threats to the survival of many plant and animal species is the destruction or fragmentation of their natural habitats. The conservation of landscape connections, where animals, plants, and ecological processes can move freely from one habitat to another, is therefore an essential part of any new conservation or environmental protection plan. In practice, however, maintaining, creating, and protecting connectivity in our increasingly dissected world is a daunting challenge. This fascinating volume provides a synthesis on the current status and literature of connectivity conservation research and implementation. It shows the challenges involved in applying existing knowledge to real-world examples and highlights areas in need of further study. Containing contributions from leading scientists and practitioners, this topical and thought-provoking volume will be essential reading for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners working in conservation biology and natural resource management.

The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.

This is a practical handbook providing a step-by-step approach to the techniques used for characterizing wastewater sources and investigating sites where collection, treatment and reuse/disposal technologies will be installed. It is intended to help enable local implementation of on-site and decentralized wastewater management system (DWMS)for wide scale use in development settings. How to Design Wastewater Systems for Local Conditions in Developing Countries helps local service providers and regulatory officials make informed decisions through the use of tools, checklists and case studies. It includes a link to a web based community of on-site and decentralized wastewater professionals, which contains related tools and case studies. This handbook serves as a reference for training classes, certification programs, and higher education programs in civil and sanitary engineering. There is an increasing interest on the part of local government officials and private sector service providers to implement wastewater treatment systems to solve sanitation problems. The model presented in this handbook promotes activities that first generate data related to source and site conditions that represent critical inputs, and then applies this information to the technology selection process. Matching the most appropriate technologies to the specific needs of the wastewater project is the key that leads to long term sustainability. How to Design Wastewater Systems for Local Conditions in Developing Countries is an invaluable resource for public sector decision makers and private sector service providers in developing countries. It is also a useful text for students at engineering colleges in developing countries interested in taking a class that teaches the methods of decentralized wastewater management system (DWMS) development.

La Calidad está de más actualidad que nunca. Es un término que hoy en día encontramos en todas partes y con el que se desea transmitir en quien lo oye una impresión positiva, ya que da la idea de que el producto o el servicio es el mejor, es decir, transmite la idea de excelencia. Difundir una cultura de Calidad es la diferencia entre ser excelentes o ser simplemente "del montón". Una cultura de Calidad crea grandes empresas e incluso grandes países.;Aceptemos el reto y adoptemos una cultura de Calidad en nuestras empresas y en nuestra sociedad, preparemos a nuestra gente, desarrollemos estrategias, utilicemos adecuadamente las herramientas de Calidad, cambiemos lo que sea necesario y estemos dispuestos a innovar y a mejorar de forma continua y sin descanso.;En este texto se incluyen todos los contenidos relacionados con la Calidad, son fáciles de entender, didácticos y claros ya que este ha sido el objeto principal en su elaboración. Además, se hace referencia a las nuevas normas y al nuevo modelo de evaluación EFQM del año 2010.;Estamos seguros de que los temas aquí tratados serán de gran ayuda para comprender los fundamentos de la Calidad en la empresa. Para ello, se han elaborado 13 unidades didácticas que combinan la teoría con multitud de casos prácticos. En todas ellas se exponen NUMEROSOS ejemplos de aplicación que hacen mucho más fácil la comprensión de las explicaciones teóricas.;Los lectores podrán acceder a los recursos digitales del libro a través de www.paraninfo.es mediante un sencillo registro desde la sección "Recursos previo registro" de la ficha de la obra.;Entre estos recursos los usuarios podrán encontrar suficiente documentación de empresas reales, como, por ejemplo, el Manual de Calidad de una pequeña empresa, ejemplos de procedimientos, registros y otros muchos documentos. Estos permitirán orientar y ejemplificar los conceptos y los contenidos presentados en el libro, así como contextualizarlos en el área profesional de cada una de las partes interesadas.;Los temas tratados en este libro son;1. Fundamentos y conceptos de la Calidad;2. Gestión de la Calidad en la empresa;3. Infraestructura para la Calidad;4. Factores clave de la Calidad;5. Sistemas de Gestión de la Calidad. Normas ISO 9000;6. Sistema de Gestión de la Calidad por Procesos;7. Documentación del Sistema de Gestión de la Calidad;8. Gestión de la Calidad Total (Modelo europeo EFQM);9. Técnicas básicas para la Gestión de la Calidad;10. Técnicas estadísticas para la Gestión de la Calidad;11. Técnicas avanzadas para la Gestión de la Calidad;12. Costes de la Calidad;13. Casos prácticos de aplicación para la Gestión de la Calidad en una pequeña empresa
