BIRDS SURVEYED IN THE HARVESTED AND UNHARVESTED AREAS OF A REDUCED-IMPACT LOGGED FORESTRY CONCESSION, LOCATED IN THE LOWLAND SUBTROPICAL HUMID FORESTS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF SANTA CRUZ, BOLIVIA.

As part of a larger study of reduced-impactlogging effects on bird Protectors community composition,we surveyed birds from December to Februaryduring the 2003-2004 wet-season within harvestedand unharvested blocks of the La Chonta forestryconcession, Department of Santa Cruz, Bolivia.The logged forest was harvested using reduced-impactlogging techn

A currently utilized pre-harvest biocontrol method involves field inoculations with non-aflatoxigenic Aspergillus flavus strains, a tactic shown to strategically suppress native aflatoxin-producing strains and effectively decrease aflatoxin contamination in corn.The present in situ study focuses on tracking the invasion and colonization of an aflat

This study explores the interaction between a propeller and various frame arm geometries, which are typically used in multi-rotor applications.The influence of the arm on the propulsive performance of the propeller is investigated by using commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver ANSYS Fluent 17 in hovering flight.CFD results are valida

Background and objective: Each year millions of tons of halal food waste are excreted into the environment.In addition to causing the Vitamin B phenomenon of global warming, it also causes economic losses to halal food industrial units.In the last two decades, globalization, lifestyle and consumer preferences, and market dynamics have had a signifi

Recent research on environmental DNA (eDNA), genetic material shed by organisms into their environment that can be used for sensitive and species-specific detection, has focused on the ability to collect airborne eDNA released by plants and carried by the wind for use in terrestrial plant populations, including detection of invasive and endangered
