s (MAPA) and Indian Science Abstracts (ISA). Since, MAPA and ISA have vast coverage on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants and all science subjects, respectively, we have now decided to extend our services on all plant and animals based natural products in faster mode i.e. electronically. With immense pleasure we announce launching of Natural Products and Resources Repository (NPARR) with open access...

Coffee can be cultivated under various management schemes from heavy shade to full sun. Higher yields are generally achieved in full sun but often at the expense of smaller beans and greater requirements for water and nutrients. We compared growth, yield, bean size, and total value in a coffee agroecosystem in Hawaii grown in full sun or at two shade levels (30 and 50%) under Leucaena variety K...

Local and regional environments have for many centuries been seen as, or as being composed of, ''natural resources,'' which have generally been considered fully available for human use, irrespective of any use to which other species, purposefully or not, might put them. The global environment has more recently, though less routinely, been seen in this way. I examine full-human-use arguments in ...

non-renewable natural resources play an important role in sustainable development of developing countries such as iran. however, if natural resources are to be preserved for future generations, proper use of such resources will be imperative. women are one of the prime users of natural resources. this study assesses the conservational behavior of rural women and factors influencing such behavio...

This paper investigates resources-related con‡icts in a small open economy through a game-theoretic approach. By endogenising the regime-switching mechanism, it models revolution and repression as the elite-civilian competition for control over resources, which is constrained by the opportunity costs of natural resources and labour. It shows that higher world resource prices tend to trigger con...

Authors are requested to select key words from the following list. You may use plurals and adjectives for combinations like absolute pupillary response, centrifugal optic nerve, inter blobs, etc. If key words are needed which do not appear in this list, please underline them.

Shale gas is currently being explored in Europe as an alternative energy source to conventional oil and gas. There is, however, increasing concern about the potential environmental impacts of shale gas extraction by hydraulic fracturing (fracking). In this study, we focussed on the potential impacts on regional water resources within the Baltic Basin in Poland, both in terms of quantity and qua...
