Nitrate pollution remains an unsolved issue worldwide, causing serious effects on water quality and eutrophication of freshwater and brackish water environments. Its economic costs are still underestimated. To reduce nitrogen excess, constructed wetlands are usually recognized as a solution but, in recent years, interest has been raised in the role of ditches and canals in nitrogen removal. In this study, we investigated the environmental and economical sustainability of nitrogen removal capacity, using as a model study a lowland agricultural sub-basin of the Po River (Northern Italy), where the role of aquatic vegetation and related microbial processes on the mitigation of nitrate pollution has been extensively studied. Based on the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach and costs and benefits analysis (CBA), the effectiveness of two different scenarios of vegetation management, which differ for the timing of mowing, have been compared concerning the nitrogen removal via denitrification and other terms of environmental sustainability. The results highlighted that postponing the mowing to the end of the vegetative season would contribute to buffering up to 90% of the nitrogen load conveyed by the canal network during the irrigation period and would reduce by an order of magnitude the costs of eutrophication potential.

All organisations are adopting the project-based approach to carry out operational and business activities. There are many challenges of knowledge management during the project management life cycle because every project has unique characteristics with a changing workforce. Project management involves the leadership and critical decision making which requires the internal and external experts and knowledge. The study is conducted to find out how knowledge management affects leadership and critical decision making in the project management life cycle. The objective of the study is to explore the role of knowledge management in project management and to evaluate the problems of knowledge management in the project management life cycle. In the project management life cycle, much information is generated and experienced. Thus, the study finds out that if the knowledge is not accumulated and recorded correctly, it will be lost and cannot use in future projects. Leadership and critical decision making are affected by knowledge management. Thus, to ensure the best leadership and better decision making there must be proper knowledge management.


The life cycle management of a person's identity includes the technologies used for provisioning and password resets, the processes and policies associated with different technologies, and the important events that happen around the management issues of a person's identity. This chapter will discuss the entire process in managing the life cycle of identities using scenarios in illustrating how life cycle management is being used in handling the different activities in IAM.

The analysis of the flow mechanisms causing scour in the marine environment combined with a conceptual model for scour in different seabed soils are applied to demonstrate how erosion testing can be used to support detailed assessments of scour. The important role of scour hazard assessment and scour monitoring in the life-cycle management of offshore assets is also assessed.

O objetivo deste trabalho é realizar um mapeamento e classificação da literatura, bem como uma análise bibliométrica sobre os conceitos Product Life Cycle Management (PLM), Product Development Process(PDP), Environmental Sustainability (ES) e suas interfaces. As publicações de interesse foram localizadas por meio de consultas na base de dados de periódicos da ISI Web of Knowledge, por meio do portal da CAPES, considerando publicações entre 2006 e 2010. Os resultados indicam que os trabalhos são publicados em uma gama variada de periódicos e congressos e que a maioria das publicações analisadas utiliza como abordagem metodológica o estudo de caso, mas também existe uma grande proporção de trabalhos teórico-conceituais. Quanto à natureza dos dados verificou-se que a abordagem qualitativa tem sido mais adotada e é praticamente predominante a condução de estudos descritivos. Em síntese, os trabalhos analisados incorporam o conceito de sustentabilidade ambiental e PLM no PDP e são mais aplicados em empresas, cadeia de suprimentos e desenvolvimento de software. De modo geral, os trabalhos analisados enfatizam a melhoria da gestão do PDP, o aumento do desempenho e a integração de informações de diferentes áreas e sistemas. A literatura converge para a inserção dos conceitos de sustentabilidade ambiental e PLM nas atuais práticas do PDP.

Abstract Nowadays organizations and entire industries have faced the challenges of globalization and rapid technological development. These changes have brought new kind of competition and it has shaped and mixed organizations traditional business logic. This research is based on multiple case studies where the focus is on management changes through product lifecycle management. Emphasis is on MRO (Maintenance, repair, overhaul) providers and how they implement dynamic capabilities through product life cycle management. MRO is abbreviation for Maintenance, repair and overhaul and it is a commonly used in Aerospace industry. The study identifies several products in various stages of the life-cycle and thus identify the essential changes related to management. The stages that study identifies are Learning phase, Productisation phase and PBL phase. These phases can be used for clarifying dynamic capabilities in MRO markets.
