Basic principles of physical hydrogeology and the nature hydrologic interactions between groundwater surface water can be convincingly demonstrated in field using two inexpensive and...
Conservationists have increasingly turned to ecotourism provide local economic benefits while maintaining ecosystem integrity. Research conducted in Costa Rica examine models linking conservation and development indicates ecotourism's effectiveness as a strategy has been mixed. Where offers viable alternative, tourism opportunities induced people abandon cultivated land, allowing forests regenerate. Employmente tourism, however, reveals minimal influence on perspectives. Other factors,...
Abstract Conservation agriculture (CA) is often perceived to provide “win‐win” outcomes for farmers leading reduced erosion and off‐site sedimentation, as well improved soil fertility productivity. However, adoption rates CA in many regions of the world remain below expected levels. This article looks at effects participation organic markets farmers' organizations on conservation practices. Based original survey data from 241 small‐scale farm households Honduras, we find that both...
G EOGRAPHERS can analyze the many objects on earth's surface according to a multitude of properties, which one most significant is shape. The geographical literature abounds with comparisons various landscape geometric shapes. Settlement geographers may indicate that their study are circular, linear, or perhaps star-shaped; Christaller suggested hexagons for idealized trade areas; political employ lexicon descriptive terms classify countries by Boyce and Clark have reviewed number studies in...
Abstract Restricting global warming below 2 °C to avoid catastrophic climate change will require atmospheric carbon dioxide removal (CDR). Current integrated assessment models (IAMs) and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change scenarios assume that CDR within the energy sector would be delivered using bioenergy with capture storage (BECCS). Although bioenergy-biochar systems (BEBCS) can also deliver CDR, they are not included in any IPCC scenario. Here we show despite BECCS offering twice...
Ecotourism's appeal as a conservation and development tool rests in its potential to provide local economic benefits while maintaining ecological resource integrity through low-impact, non-consumptive use. Some, however, question contribution community development, citing negative impacts, such solid waste generation, habitat destruction, sociocultural ills. This paper, based on comparative study Costa Rica, explores some of these issues. Study findings were mixed regarding ecotourism's...
Ecotourism presents developing countries with growing opportunities for enhancing resource conservation and economic growth, but also raises pressing management policy challenges. This paper a conceptual framework empirical analysis of the impacts introducing differential entrance fee at three national parks in Costa Rica. Data are collected using contingent behavior methodology designed to elicit information on foreign tourists' hypothetical park visitation behaviors alternative levels....
Abstract Previous empirical research on crop supply response has given insufficient attention to the fundamentally different nature of under farm programs versus competitive markets. A simple theoretical model is presented which highlights program participation option in farmer's acreage allocation decision. The also provides basis for expected elasticities “free market” and “farm program” regimes corn soybeans. Econometric estimation Corn Belt states 1948–80 using a temporally disaggregated...
Caring for people with dementia incurs significant stress carers. Stress has been related to the duration of caring role, number weekly hours provided and severity cognitive impairment. What remains less clear is impact neuropsychiatric symptoms subtype on carer this study aimed examine these.Dementia carers were recruited a range subtypes. Carers interviewed using Neuropsychiatric Inventory Carer Distress Scale. Cognitive fluctuations assessed Dementia Fluctuations All patients also...
Carbon assimilation, translocation, and associated biochemical characteristics of the second trifoliolate leaf (numbered acropetally) chamber-grown soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr., plants were studied at selected stages development during period from 10 to 25 days postemergence. Leaves uniform age on basis plastochron index (LPI).The test reached full expansion (A(max)) maximum CO(2) exchange rates a area 17 postemergence (LPI 4.1). Maximum carbon per unit dry weight lamina attained several...
Research suggests that the use of lies and deception are prevalent in dementia care settings. This issue has been explored from view point carers professionals, acceptability ethicality remains an area heated debate. article unique perspective people being lied to: People with Dementia.This study used a qualitative methodology, specifically, Grounded Theory (GT). The two-phased design. Phase one involved series one-to-one interviews Dementia. During phase two, participants were...
Abstract During polarized growth of pollen tubes, endomembrane trafficking and actin polymerization are two critical processes that establish membrane/wall homeostasis maintain polarity. Fine-tuned interactions between these therefore necessary but poorly understood. To better understand such cross talk in the model plant Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), we first established optimized concentrations drugs interfere with either or cytoskeleton, then examined tube using fluorescent protein...

Two partial nucleotide sequences corresponding complete functional domain were amplified from bovine PBMC mRNA. Following stimulation with phorbol ester calcium ionophore, expression...
In the Luangwa Valley, Zambia, persistent poverty and hunger present linked challenges to rural development biodiversity conservation. Both household coping strategies larger-scale economic efforts have caused severe natural resource degradation that limits future opportunities endangers ecosystem services. A model based on a business infrastructure has been developed promote maintain sustainable agricultural management practices, leading direct indirect conservation outcomes. The Community...
