For a long time, China's economic development ignore the constraints of resources and environmental costs but onesided pursue GDP. In 2014, the State Council issued a document to develop the Yangtze River economic zone into a "green ecological corridor". The green development of the Yangtze River economic zone is of high-profile. This paper attempts to consider the resource and environmental fa...

OBJECTIVES Exclusive breast feeding (EBF) uptake in Zimbabwe is very low. Given that EBF is a physiological process which transpires in a specific socio-economic milieu, this study investigates the socio-economic factors militating against its uptake. METHODS The study used a mixed research methodology. The concurrent nested model of mixed methods was utilized using one data collection phase,...

Denmark’s Depth Model (DDM) is a Digital Bathymetric based on hundreds of bathymetric survey datasets and historical sources within the Danish Exclusive Economic Zone. The DDM represents first publicly released model covering waters with grid resolution 50 m. When modern are not available for given area, used, or, as last resort, interpolation applied. generated by averaging depths values from ...

Abstract The expected growth of the global economy and projected rise in world population call for a greatly increased supply materials critical implementing clean technologies, such as rare earth elements (REEs) other metals. Because demand metals is increasing land-based mineral deposits are being depleted, seafloor resources seen next frontier exploration extraction. Marine with great resour...

Environmental changes and human activities can have strong impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. This study investigates how, from a quantitative point of view, simultaneously both environmental and anthropogenic factors affect species composition and abundance of exploited groundfish assemblages (i.e. target and non-target species) at large spatio-temporal scales. We aim to invest...

Breastfeeding behaviour is explored in Kenya using data collected in the town of Eldoret, Kenya. This paper specifically examines duration of exclusive breastfeeding among young mothers below 20 years of age as compared to older cohorts.
