Materials balances have been used in the recent past for the analysis of substance oriented environmental problems and the formulation of measures for environmental policy. In this study an integrated tool, based on the materials balance principle, has been developed for the analysis of both environmental…

The solar system was formed approximately 4.56 billion years ago. Despite the numerous theories that have been developed over the years, the formation and evolution of the solar system still remain unclear.

In Chili wordt momenteel gewerkt aan een nieuwe grondwet. Alumna Elisa Loncon Antileo is gekozen tot voorzitter van de grondwetgevende conventie.
