Like other former European members of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance, Bulgaria saw unimpeded industrial growth as a vital sign of social welfare and progress toward the socialist ideal. Because this approach made environmental issues a taboo subject in socialist Bulgaria, the degree of damage by postwar industrial policy went unassessed until the government of Todor Zhivkov (1962-1989) was overthrown in late 1989. The Zhivkov government's commitment to heavy industry and lack of money to spend on protective measures forced it to ...

zSeries/z9 servers are capable of multiple levels of virtualization (as the hypervisor itself can be virtualized), including LPARs (flexible partitions). Linux on zSeries can occupy whole partitions, even whole servers. However, most Linux on zSeries customers take advantage of z/VM. z/VM provides "virtual machines," with Linux running as a guest operating system under a hypervisor. z/VM dynamically manages processors, memory, and storage on behalf of Linux, carving up a large mainframe into hundreds or even thousands of concurrently operati ...

There is a move out of the poor campesinos out of the countryside and into the urban centers. Deforestation resulting from logging is especially rampant in Olancho Department. The clearing of land for agricultural purposes occurs throughout Honduras but especially in the largely undeveloped La Mosquitia region, and causes further land degradation and soil erosion hastened. Mining activities pollute the Lake Yojoa, which is the country's largest source of fresh water, as well as some rivers and streams with heavy metals. Hurricane Mitch cause severe damage. Geo ...

Sensitive vegetation, terrain, and archeological sites exist within the park. It contains a significant native rough fescue grassland ecosystem and over 66 native vascular plant species have been found on the hill including parry oatgrass, prairie crocus, golden bean, bedstraw, and sage. Grasslands of this nature are considered endangered in North America because more than 95% have been lost to cultivation, tree encroachment, pollution, and development. The grassland is one of 7 major native habitat types on the hill which together provide an excellent habitat for a variety of animals. Over 198 wild ...

Temperatures at Halley almost never rise above 0°C, although temperatures around -10°C are normal at the height of summer. In the depths of winter it can reach -50°C. Winds are predominantly from the east; strong winds usually pick up the dusty surface snow reducing visibility to a few metres. One of the reasons for the location of Halley is that it is under the auroral oval, resulting in frequent displays of the Aurora Australis overhead. These are easiest to see during the ...

The Common Desktop Environment (CDE) is a proprietary desktop environment for UNIX, based on the Motif widget toolkit. It is also the standard desktop environment on HP OpenVMS. CDE was jointly developed by Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Novell and Sun Microsystems in The Open Group. It was based on HP's VUE (Visual User Environment). Until about 2000, CDE was considered the de facto standard for UNIX desktops, but at that time, free software desktop environments such as KDE and GNOME were quickly becoming mature, and beca ...

Environments in which agents operate can be defined in different ways. It is helpful to view the following definitions as referring to the way the environment appears from the point of view of the agent itself. Agent environment - Observable & partially observable. In order for an agent to be considered an agent some part of the environment - relevant to the action being considered - must be observable. In some cases (particularly in software) all of the environment will be observable by the agent. This, while useful to the agent, will generall ...
