Protected Natural Areas (PNA) have represented internationally from more than 100 years ago, a strategy to preserve geographic spaces with an important biological richness, however these reservoirs have not incorporated in its design to the human element, such as an integral part in preservation activities, have dismissed the local knowledge systems, to implement a planning given by the global system.
Entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship education is generally viewed upon as being important for economic growth in the 21st century. Teaching entrepreneurship however seems to need another approach than regular education to fulfill the professional and ever changing needs. In this perspective active learning and constructivism is generally seen as essential. Other elements that are influencing the teaching process are focus on competences, culture, the needs of the student and the curriculum. This emphases’ the design of the curriculum must address these changing demands of society.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the displacement of Mexican sheep production units as a result of imports. The country as a whole was taken as the unit of analysis, the information is mainly obtained from SAGARPA and sectorial agencies, FAO, Ministry of Economy and the Bank of Mexico, the study was conducted from 1970 to 2011. Data was deflated with National Consumer Price Index for the second half of December 2010. The increases/decreases, average growth rate, inventory, production and imports were determined.
The present study was conducted in department of sericulture, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore. The main aim of the study is to know the effect of different organic sources on soil arthropods under rainfed condition. The treatment T6 recorded the maximum abundance of 14.67 arthropods per 400 gm of soil which was on par with T3 (13.67 arthropods/ 400 gm of soil). T5, T4 and T7 recorded on par results. T8 gave lower abundance of below ground arthropods with 5.67 arthropods per 400 gm of soil respectively.
This study presents the first results about the genetic polymorphism and diversity among the five Egyptian Bulinus truncatus populations, Giza (GZ), Damietta (DM), Behera (BH), Fayoum (FY) and lab bred strain (LB), using the inter-simple sequence repeats PCR (ISSR-PCR). A total of 85 bands, unique, polymorphic and monomorphic were obtained using 10 ISSR primers. Out of them, 28 bands were polymorphic. Among B. truncatus populations, the highest polymorphism (57.1%) was revealed by the primer ISSR1, followed by that revealed by ISSR7 (40%).
Hemoglobin A1c is the most parameters for the monitoring of metabolic control of patients with diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study is to determine the reference rang of glycosylated hemoglobin (Hb A1c%) in an Iraqi population (males and females) and predict Bp systolic diastolic by using demonstrates the application of decision tree, as data mining tool, in the health care system. Data mining has the capability for classification, prediction, estimation, and pattern recognition by using health databases.
In this paper, labor market performance in Sub-Sahara Africa has been modeled using convex optimization. Labor market indicators have been adopted as a reliable source of information capable of describing Sub-Sahara Africa labor market condition.
The paper assesses the level of satisfaction derived by the users of academic buildings in Yaba College of technology. The research which is largely field based had questionnaires randomly administered on a total of 290 respondents in a total of nine buildings that were equally randomly selected. Data solicited include respondent’s data and level of satisfaction derived by them from using the building in question using the five scale likert scale method.
Cities are becoming increasingly vulnerable to water related issues due to rapid urbanization, installation of complex infrastructure, and changes in the rainfall patterns. This study aims at assessing the impacts of climate change on rainwater harvesting systems (RWH) at the tropical urban city Taipei, Taiwan.
A new Viscosity bath has been entered the services in Thermal Metrology Laboratory-National Institute for Standards, NIS-Egypt in order to use in maintain and extend the national viscosity scale in wide temperature ranges, international comparison and routine calibration of viscometers. The medium of the bath should be homogenous enough in temperature so many thermal factors taken into account to estimate the temperature gradient, homogeneity, stability and thermal profile distribution with the related uncertainty to each parameter.
