Wildlife Harvest and Consumption in Amazonia's Urbanized Wilderness

economic optimization and energy consumption in tray dryers

دراین پروژه به بررسی مدل سازی خشک کردن مواد غذایی با استفاده از هوای خشک در خشک کن آزمایشگاهی نوع سینی دار پرداخته شده است. برای آنالیز انتقال رطوبت در طی خشک شدن به طریق جابجایی، یک مدل لایه نازک برای انتقال رطوبت، مبتنی بر معادله نفوذ فیک در نظر گفته شده است که شامل انتقال همزمان جرم و انرژی بین فاز جامد و گاز می باشد. پروفایل دما و رطوبت برای سه نوع ماده غذایی شامل سیب زمینی، سیب و موز در طی...

Wildlife Scientists and Wilderness Managers Finding Common Ground with Noninvasive and Nonintrusive Sampling of Wildlife

Economic and geographic drivers of wildlife consumption in rural Africa.

The harvest of wildlife for human consumption is valued at several billion dollars annually and provides an essential source of meat for hundreds of millions of rural people living in poverty. This harvest is also considered among the greatest threats to biodiversity throughout Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Economic development is often proposed as an essential first step to win-win solution...

The Political Ecology of Human-Wildlife Conlict: Producing Wilderness, Insecurity, and Displacement in the Limpopo National Park

Like conservation-induced displacement, human-wildlife conlict (HWC) has potentially negative implications for communities in and around protected areas. While the ways in which displacement emerges from the creation of ‘wilderness’ conservation landscapes are well documented, how the production of ‘wilderness’ articulates with intensiications in HWC remains under examined both empirically and ...

Developing a production possibility set of wildlife species persistence and timber harvest value1

An integrated model, combining spatial wildlife population and timber harvest and growth models, was developed to explore tradeoffs between the likelihood of persistence of a wildlife species, the northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus), and timber production on a landscape on the west side of the Oregon Cascade Range. A simplified wildlife model was developed from the fully parameterized...
