For instance, FIFCO, a Costa Rican brewery and retailer, changed the rules of the game for CSR contributions by tying compensation for all levels of managers to their performance on three dimensions: economic (50% weight), ecological (30%), and social (20%).
Following discussions with the ecological reference group, weights were considered for eight groups (Table S2, column AH): primary producer generalist, primary producer specialist, decomposer of organic matter, primary consumer and filter feeder, intermediate predator specialist, intermediate predator generalist, top predator specialist, and top predator generalist.
Due to their low density and high specific strength, magnesium alloys exhibit high economic and ecological potential to save weight and fuel.
This group should develop an "adaptive management" plan reviewed by scientists that gives equal weight to ecological goals and economics.
Ecological models suggest that weight status would not just be determined by individual characteristics alone, but also by the characteristics of the environmental context (e.g., school) in which that individual is situated [ 8].
In both prediction models, measures representing concepts of Davison and Birch's ecological model of child weight status serve as predictors (i.e. independent variables) with measures of child characteristics and child risk factors entered first (step 1), and measures of parenting styles and family characteristics in the next step, (step 2).
MANCOVA was used to determine the relative effect sizes of shared divergence among color morphs (color), morph pair history (morph pair) and unique aspects of divergence among morph-pairs in the different morph-pairs (color:morph pair) on the ecological variables BDI, LPJ weight and δN.
In this study, footprint weighting by ecological attributes and footprint probability density was evaluated where it facilitated comparison between inventory-based measurements of ecosystem ΔC stocks and tower ΣNEP by accounting for fine scale spatial variability in forest structure.
In a method designed to increase ecological validity, an upright, weight-bearing stance TTDPM option has been used, along with the AMEDA apparatus), for ankle proprioception assessment [ 34, 56, 57, 64].
Riverkeeper claims that current EPA analysis methods fail to give adequate weight to the ecological cost of fish killed by outdated cooling systems.
