Identification of Best Energy-efficiency Opportunities in Alberta's Energy Sector
The province of Alberta has one of the largest hydrocarbon bases in North America. This makes it one of the leading Canadian provinces for energy production and consumption. The energy sector is one of the largest contributors to provincial GDP, income, employment, andgovernment revenue (Government of Alberta, 2008). This report gives a brief description of the assessment of energy-efficiency improvement scenarios in the energy-demand sectors in Alberta.

The Republic of the Marshall Islands
Purpose: "The purpose of the Biodiversity action plan (BSAP) is the assist the Marshall Islands to plan for the conservation of its biodiversity and for the sustainable use of its biological resources. This is the first time that such a strategy and action plan has been formulated for the country. It provides an opportunity for the government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands to integrate principals of sustainable resource management and biodiversity conservation into the national development planning processes. As the Marshall Islands is heavily dependant on it natural resources, and its people have a close relationship with their biodiversity, the need for integration is very important. Sustainable development in the Marshall Islands is conditional upon the conservation of its biodiversity and sustainable management of its natural resources ..."

Respiratory Diseases Research at NIOSH
Respiratory diseases caused by exposures to dangerous materials in the workplace have tremendous implications for worker health and, by extension, the national economy. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) estimates that deaths from work-related respiratory diseases and cancers account for about 70% of all occupational disease deaths. NIOSH conducts research in order to detect and reduce work-related hazardous exposures, injuries, and diseases; its Respiratory Disease Research Program (RDRP) focuses on respiratory diseases. This National Research Council book reviews the RDRP to evaluate the 1) relevance of its work to improvements in occupational safety and health and 2) the impact of research in reducing workplace respiratory illnesses. The assessment reveals that the program has made essential contributions to preventing occupational respiratory disease. The National Research Council has rated the Program a 5 out of 5 for relevance, and a 4 out of 5 for impact. To further increase its effectiveness, the Respiratory Disease Research Program should continue and expand its current efforts, provide resources for occupational disease surveillance, and include exposure assessment scientists in its activities.
Construction Research at NIOSH:
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) conducts construction-relevant research activities. From 1996 through 2005, the program focused on four research goals: reducing traumatic injuries and fatalities; reducing exposure to health hazards; reducing major risks associated with musculoskeletal disorders; increasing the understanding of construction industry attributes and factors for improving health and safety outcomes. In this book, the National Research Council evaluates the relevance and impact of the NIOSH Construction Research Program in terms of its research priorities and its connection to improvements in the protection of workers in the workplace. It also assesses the program' s identification and targeting of new research areas, to identify emerging research issues, and to provide advice on ways that the program might be strengthened. The book finds that the efforts of the Construction Research Program have made meaningful contributions to improving construction worker safety and health, and provides overreaching and specific recommendations for continuing progress. While NIOSH cannot set and enforce research-based standards on its own, the program can be expected to help reduce construction workplace fatalities, injuries, and illnesses through its research, its research dissemination, and transfer into practice.
