Trade Dispute Settlement Mechanisms : The WTO Dispute Settlement Understanding in the Wake of The GATT [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
A critical feature of the GATT Uruguay Round negotiations was the establishment of a new and more effective system of dealing with international trade disputes, known as the WTO Dispute Settlement Understanding (DSU). The original GATT dispute settlement

Assessment of the Ecological Condition of Informal Settlements Using the Settlement Surface Ecological Index

open access: yesLand, 2023
To manage urban ecological ecosystems adequately, understanding the urban areas’ biophysical characteristics is required. This study developed a settlement surface ecological index (SSEI) using tree, soil, impervious surface and grass covers, land surface temperature (LST), and soil moisture derived from Satellite Pour L’Observation de la Terre (SPOT ...

Surface Sensing and Settlement Strategies of Marine Biofouling Organisms [PDF]

open access: yesBiointerphases, 2012
This review article summarizes some recent insights into the strategies used by marine organisms to select surfaces for colonization. While larger organisms rely on their sensory machinery to select surfaces, smaller microorganisms developed less complex but still effective ways to probe interfaces. Two examples, zoospores of algae and barnacle larvae,

The effect of CRD method and auxiliary construction on surface settlement in shallow-buried tunnels

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Several engineering practices have shown that the excavation of shallow-buried tunnels beneath major roads, as well as the selection of appropriate engineering measures and construction methods, has a significant impact on road surface settlement ...

Research on Ground Settlement Regularity of Soft Rock Tunnel under Ultrasmall Distance

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2021
During the tunnel construction under the road, the shallower the tunnel depth, the greater the effect of the surface settlement. Thus, to analyze the ground settlement caused by tunnel construction under ultrasmall distance, the research is based on a ...

Prediction model and application of three-dimensional ground surface settlement induced by tunnel excavation considering time effect

open access: yes矿业科学学报, 2019
It is difficult to consider the change of settlement along with time by using stochastic medium theory in the settlement prediction process in subway construction. A new settlement-time model is proposed.

Surface water in temporary humanitarian settlements [PDF]

open access: yesWaterlines, 2017
In the Humanitarian Innovation Fund Gap Analysis for water, sanitation, and hygiene issues, field staff identified environmental management of surface water as an area of concern, although this was not reflected at a head office level. This difference of perspectives could be an under-reporting of this aspect of environmental sanitation to the global ...

Characterisation of the supply-settlement relationship for Semibalanus balanoides (L.) along a wave swept coast in Fife, East Scotland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This thesis describes the results of a three year study which collected larvae of the acorn barnacles Semibalanus balanoides on a rocky coastline in Fife, East Scotland. The nauplii larvae of S.

Study on the Law of Influence of Seepage Field Anomalies on Displacement Field Induced by Leakage of Enclosure Structure

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
The leakage of an enclosure structure will cause abnormal changes in the seepage flow field, which in turn can lead to the deformation of the enclosure structure and affect the surrounding geotechnical body.
