Based on laboratory and field experiments the environmental fate of four selected pesticides (Dimethoate, Fenvalerate, Malathion, and Metalaxyl) in the Jhikhu-Khola watershed, Nepal was investigated, both on soils representative for irrigated (khet) and rainfed (bari) conditions. The degradation, sorption, and transport behaviour were described with deterministic mathematical models. Based on t...

40 The importance and completeness of milk as a human food was realized prior to ‘Vedic’ times itself. This recognition of the socio-economic eminence of milk in human nutriture instinctively led ancient Indians to conserve such nutrients into more stable products under the tropical climatic conditions.

The agriculture in low rainfall areas of eastern Rajasthan, India is characterized by high risks from drought, degraded natural resources and pervasive poverty, food insecurity and malnutrition. In this region, water is the main limiting factor for upgrading rainfed agriculture. For such areas integrated watershed management is recognized as a potential approach for agriculture growth and rehab...

Taiwan economy has always been export-oriented, creating tightly-linked industrial chains between cross-straits companies tightly. Understanding the influence of transforming industrial patterns of major economic entities would be critical for long-term cooperative small economic entities (countries or regions) in the periphery. The author of this paper has thus analyzed the influences and ...

Abstract There have been many studies on rainfall erosivity and density (ED). However, it was not widely developed in Indonesia as a tropical country has unique precipitation patterns. They are indicators for assessing the potential risk of soil erosion. The Air Bengkulu Watershed is undergoing severe land degradation due to This study aimed analyze spatial-temporal ED based monthly data (mm). ...

Electricity is one of the most important sources for economic and social development of a country. The growth in energy consumption is basically linked with the growth in economy. Energy demand increases due to different reasons, including higher Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, higher per capita consumption, the population growth and rapid development of industrial & commercial sectors. In...

background: iran, a low- to middle-income country, has experienced considerable socioeconomic changes in 20 th century, which their impacts on the adult heights has not been assessed deeply by now. this article aims to quantify the temporal varia­tions of height (with respect to shrinkage of height due to aging) and its deterministic factors in iranian population born be­tween 1940 and 1984. me...
