In order to provide conversant insight towards the role of the bioenergy and its scale for the region, it is vital to gain an overview of existing projections and realise the causes of variability. A firm, quantitative understanding of the total domestic and imported biomass utilised in the EU affords an array of benefits, from decision-making at the local level, to aiding in defining improved macro-scale, time-bound targets on bioenergy obligations. More specifically this study reviews and analyses biomass potentials from (i) recent policy documentation covering the EU region and at national level; (ii) resource- & demand-based bottom up assessments; (iii) projections from leading integrated assessment models under harmonised scenarios. Presenter: Steven MANDLEY, Utrecht University, Energy & Resources, Utrecht, THE NETHERLANDS Presenter's biography: Steven Mandley, MSc in Sustainable Development (energy & Resources), holds a position as PhD candidate at Utrecht University(NL). The focus of his research is surrounding the development of the biobased economy in the EU region.

In Spain there are around 17 million ha of crop land of which 10 million are rain-fed herbaceous crops land (80% winter cereals). Biophysics factors like soil low organic matter content, low water retention and adverse climate conditions determine low crop yield and, in conjunction with economic output/input farm ratios, the agricultural production profitability of one area.

  • Ideal Homes? Social Change and Domestic Life
    IDEAL HOMES? Until now, the ‘home’ as a space within which domestic lives are lived out has been largely ignored by sociologists. Yet the ‘home’ as idea, place and object consumes a large proportion of individuals’ incomes, and occupies their dreams and their leisure time while the absence of a physical home presents a major threat to both society and the homeless themselves. This edited collection provides for the first time an analysis of the space of the ‘home’ and the experiences of home life by writers from a wide range of disciplines, including sociology, criminology, psychology, social policy and anthropology. It covers a range of subjects, including gender roles, different generations’ relationships to home, the changing nature of the family, transition, risk and alternative visions of home. Ideal Homes? provides a fascinating analysis which reveals how both popular images and experiences of home life can produce vital clues as to how society’s members produce and respond to social change. Tony Chapman is Head of Sociology at the University of Teesside. Jenny Hockey is Senior Lecturer in the School of Comparative and Applied Social Sciences, University of Hull. IDEAL HOMES?

  • Introduction
    Introduction Welcome to the Statistics in a Changing Society - 175 Years of Progress, the RSS 2009 International Conference in Edinburgh. This book includes abstracts of over 260 presentations being made during the conference, in this order: • Plenary speakers in order of presentation • Invited, contributed and special sessions in the same order as they appear in the programme • Poster presentations in alphabetical order by author surname. All posters will be on display at the reception at The Hub on Tuesday evening and then those presented by ‘career-young’ statisticians will be displayed in the refreshments and exhibition areas of the conference venue for the remainder of the week. Finally, please note that the Conference Programme Committee allocates contributed papers to topics in an effort to ensure (as far as is possible) the coherence of sessions, and this may not accord with the topic requested by the presenter. I hope you enjoy the conference Paul Gentry RSS theme manager for conferences and meetings Plenary speakers 1 PLENARY 1 OPENING PLENARY Sir David Cox Nuffield College, Oxford [email protected] New Road, Oxford, OX1 1NF United Kingdom The Royal Statistical Society: past, present and future A broad view will be given of some of the strands of activity of the RSS. A few possible implications for the future will be outlined. David Cox read Mathematics at Cambridge and his first posts were in Dept of Mechanical and Structural Engineering, Royal Aircraft Establishment Farnborough and then at Wool Industries Research Association, Leeds. Subsequently he held positions at Cambridge, University of N Carolina, Birkbeck College and from 1966 to 1988 at Dept of Mathematics, Imperial College.
