So, how to improve environmental communication to incorporate sustainable building practices. The incorporation of environmental indicators may enlarge the scope of construction management tools. In the case of cost databases, widely used in the construction sector, this action can contribute to the communication and dissemination of environmental practices. This paper mapped 24 indicators from construction cost databases to assess their ability to communicate and disseminate environmental information. The research comprised: (a) a review of the use of cost bases in the environmental study, (b) identification of the most cited bases in 27 Brazilian civil engineering courses, and (c) analysis of the selected databases through of the assessment matrix, it crosses cost data versus environmental information...

Seguidamente describe el analisis DOFA, la metodologia y conceptos utilizados de mayor interes que aportan al desarrollo de la investigacion con el fin de realizar un diagnostico turistico sobre los componentes de intangibilidad turistica, superestructura, infraestructura, planta turistica, atractivos y descripcion cultural de la comunidad de la Playa de Belen. Los resultados obtenidos se reflejan a traves del analisis de mercado mediante encuesta aplicada a la comunidad, operadores y turistas, se analiza la situacion actual, se disena el plan de marketing creando unos objetivos, estrategias y recomendaciones de proyeccion para el municipio.

The work is motivated by two recent developments, first, the identification of a novel class of passive outputs for pH systems. Second, the observation that allowing the energy function of the controller used in CbI to depend on the state of the system to be controlled also generates new passive outputs. As shown here, using these passive outputs gives additional degrees of freedom for the design of CbI and EB-PBC to make both techniques more widely applicable. Another contribution of the paper is to provide an unified framework for the design of the various forms of CbI and EB-PBC reported in the literature, objective that is achieved viewing EB-PBC as a particular instance of CbI with regulated sources.
