UNLABELLED The internationally accepted limit values and the health effects of hand-transmitted vibration exposure have been described extensively in the literature from temperate climate countries but not from a tropical climate environment. OBJECTIVES We conducted a systematic review of the health effects of hand-transmitted vibration exposure in tropical countries to determine the characte...

AIHARA Y, HOSAKA T, YASUDA M, HASHIM M & NUMATA S. 2016. Mammalian wildlife tourism in South-East Asian tropical rainforests: the case of Endau Rompin National Park, Malaysia. Wildlife tourism is for the purpose of watching and/or encountering wildlife. In South-east Asia, mammalian wildlife tourism is less popular than in Africa. This is because mammalian wildlife tourism in South-East Asia is...

Recent research to increase understanding, and techniques to improve forecasts, of the structure and structural changes of a tropical cyclone due to interaction with the environment are summarized. The atmospheric environment is considered here, and the oceanic, and air-sea interface environments are summarized in Topic 1.3. Progress in understanding how a tropical cyclone interacts with its en...

Large, pristine, uninhabited parks are the defining criterion of success in conserving tropical forests, according to some conservationists. It is argued that human residents in tropical forests inevitably deplete populations of large animals through hunting, triggering a chain reaction of ecological events that greatly diminish the conservation value of these forests. Hence, the removal of peo...
