Following a search of the World Wide Web and a publication review, a large number of forestry software applications were identified. Although the search was worldwide, language barriers directed the search towards English speaking nations with developed forestry industries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Britain.

Abstract: Explaining land use change in Mexico requires understanding the behavior of the local institutions involved. We develop two theories to explain deforestation in communities with and without forestry projects, where the former involves a process of side payments to non-members of the community and the latter of partial cooperation among community members. Data collected in 2002 combine...

Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) forestry project development requires highly multi-disciplinary and multiple-source information that can be complex, cumbersome and costly to acquire. Yet developing countries in which CDM projects are created and implemented are often data poor environments and unable to meet such complex information requirements. Using Cameroon as an example, the present pape...

PURPOSE Lens case hygiene is important for safe contact lens wear. However, there are no evidence-based data to suggest optimum hygiene regimens. This in vitro study aimed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of manufacturers' guidelines and several other regimens in removing biofilm using various types of contact lens cases and disinfecting agents. METHODS Biofilms of Staphylococcus aur...

Background A multipurpose health worker (MPHW) is the key functionary and the first contact person in a subcenter. This study explores the workload of MPHWs in the multifarious domains of their activities and also assesses their time utilization pattern. Methods A time and motion study was conducted among 19 auxiliary nurse midwives (ANMs) and 10 HWs male (M) from six selected primary health ...

Multipurpose hydropower reservoirs are regularly framed as water security and climate change solutions. Although multipurpose projects can do deliver a range of services, ‘win-win’ outcomes not guaranteed. Emerging energy risks altering the net benefits from operating to generation, supply, flood control, or other purposes. This paper shows that new governance approaches needed efficiently fair...
