My species is going to go extinct because bog turtles are not needed much in the food chain and the animals that do consume it, the turtle isn’t their primary source of food intake, there aren’t many left and…

Consider the importance of data centre, it is almost impossible to apply energy efficiency technology in this area. However, load profile of 1514 indicates that most of the electricity consumption (76 percent) occurs outside of normal hours. Energy conservation program should involve all universities stakeholder in changing behaviour of accessing data. Contrast to space heating, energy use for cooling purpose mostly appears during summer and autumn between January and April (Appendix…

The increase in wildlife crime is argued to be a result of “widespread poverty, underfunding of wildlife conservation efforts, lack of law enforcement and political instability in the concerned countries and a rising demand for exotic animal products” (WTO 2014:5).

The Grand Slam of Soil Conservation Just imagine, you’re in a softball game, you have just rounded third base and are trying to beat the ball home. In a desperate effort to score; you slide, and dust flies- making it momentarily impossible to see. Your eyes, nose, and mouth are covered in the freshly raked earth of the ball field. This scenario is something that most of us today can relate to. But in the early 1900s, in several counties across Oklahoma and throughout the Great Plains, many days…

RESULT AND DISCUSSION 1. Hardware testing A prototype of street lighting automation system is developed and the whole prototype design is as shown in Figure-9. The design of whole project was done with 12 LEDs, 4 PIR sensors and 1 LDR sensor. All the wiring and connection are connected to Arduino board. This was done by calibrate part by part which is started with LDR sensor, then PIR sensor and lastly LED as light module. During day, all LEDs and PIR sensor is turned off. This condition is…

Although hearing situations like these will make the audience feel some amount of empathy,we still…
