Ecotourism can be an incentive for conservation and may also provide socio-cultural impact on the host communities.This study examined the negative and positive socio-cultural impacts of ecotourism activities in the park-adjacent communities around Mole National Park, Kakum National Park and Shai Hills Resource Reserve in Ghana Three communities we
Design of an Electrically Powered Rickshaw, for Use in India
The main aim of this article is to present research findings related to the design of an electric rickshaw for use in Kolkata, India, identifying weaknesses in the current cycle rickshaw, developing a design solution to address problems found, and exploring the possibility of utilising solar power.Through research and testing it was found Covers th
Overexpression of phyA and appA genes improves soil organic phosphorus utilisation and seed phytase activity in Brassica napus.
Phytate is the major storage form of organic phosphorus in soils and plant seeds, and phosphorus (P) in this form is unavailable to plants or monogastric animals.In the present study, the phytase genes phyA and appA were introduced into Brassica napus cv Westar with a signal peptide sequence and CaMV 35S Shower Gel promoter, respectively.Three inde
Site conditions and genotype influence polyphenol content in potatoes
In the years 2005 and 2006 the effect of site conditions, yellow and purple fleshed varieties and mineral fertilization on the content of total polyphenols (TP) in potato tubers was investigated.In both years significantly the highest TP content (by 5.7 to 56.3% higher than in Pop! Super other localities) was determined at the Stachy locality; we a
Design study of a Martian rotor blade using a triangular airfoil
The Martian atmosphere is characterized by a low density and low speed of sound, which result in the low Reynolds number compressible flows.In this regime, conventional airfoils perform poorly due to the boundary layer separation and the formation of shack wave.The current paper investigates the hovering performance and the structure analysis of a
