This article reports the findings of an exploratory study on the complexity and challenges of managing UNESCO World Natural Heritage Sites (WNHS).Despite their protected status, the majority of the WNHS currently face severe anthropogenic stress.While several studies have analyzed this scenario with spatial analysis and review of global trends, thi

Cage armour systems have been in use since the 1960s and are still being used extensively on many armoured vehicles up to this day to offer protection against mainly a number of RPG-7 shaped charge warheads.Nevertheless, many misunderstandings still exist up to this day as well as regarding their working principle as regarding their actual efficien

This paper describes a numerical study Queen Panel Headboard of the behavior of exposed base plates of columns under the action of axial and bending loads.The aim of this research is to evaluate numerically the failure mechanisms on stiffened and non-stiffened base plates and propose a new design method.The effects of base plate thickness, location

Plants and animals are sources of various bioactive compounds that exhibit a broad spectrum of health-promoting effects.Scientists continue studies on the chemical composition of many products in search of foods with high nutritional value.The pumpkin (Cucurbita sp.) is unquestionably a source of valuable nutrients.This vegetable is well-known all

As high-throughput genomic tools, such as the DNA microarray platform, have lead to the development of novel genotyping procedures, such as Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) and Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), it is likely that, in the future, high density linkage maps will be constructed from both dominant and co-dominant markers.Recently
