The useful occupation of the total manpower of a nation is the first essential necessity for the general wellbeing of the whole, as well as for the individual. This condition is dependent upon an adequate use of all natural resources, particularly the renewable portion of those resources. Potential forest land comprises a very large area in Southern Ontario in addition to the total area composed of farmers' woodlots. These factors indicate that there is opportunity to make conservation in its broadest aspect, forestry activities in particular, a fulltime occupation for a larges number of inadequately employed people.

Local knowledge is knowledge transferred across generations by individuals or community through experience in the environment they live in. This includes the knowledge and practices that are still practiced by a community or individual. Apart from trust, the willingness and capacity to share what they know and use what they learn plays an important role for local knowledge to be transferred and managed. In Malaysia, traditional Malay massage is a form of traditional healing among the Malay society that was recorded since the 19th century through Kitab Tib manuscript. This form of healing uses natural resources, wafak (letters, numerals and diagrams), Quranic verses and doa (prayers and supplications) in the healing practice. This paper attempts to explore on how the knowledge is passed down from expert to apprentice. This study involves interviews and observation on selected Malay traditional massage practitioners. In conclusion, knowledge transfer among Malay traditional massage practitioners only happens when there is trust trust. Knowledge is passed down within their family members and learned from observation and experience. The traditional Malay massage remains only within the individual or a limited number within the family community rather than the community as a whole.

AbstractThe intention of this article is to give a concise overview on current applications of micro-optical components in lighting, including general lighting, automotive lighting, projection, and display backlighting. Regarding the light sources, the focus of this paper is on inorganic light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and the characteristic problems encountered with them. Lasers, laser diodes, and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are out of scope of this paper. Micro-optical components for current applications of inorganic LEDs may be categorized essentially into three classes: First, components for light shaping, i.e., adjusting the intensity distribution to a desired target; second, components for light homogenization with respect to space and color, and third, large-area micro-optical elements. These large-area elements comprise micro-optical slabs and sheets for guiding, reflection, and refraction of light and are designed without regard to particular details of type, design, arrangement, and layout of the individual light emitters. References are given to textbooks and review articles to guide the interested reader to further and more detailed studies on the problems discussed here.

Area Data

Fire spread information on a large scale is still a missing key layer for a complete description of fire regimes. We developed a novel multilevel object-based methodology that extracts valuable information about fire dynamics from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) burned area data. Besides the large area capabilities, this approach also derives very detailed information for every single fire regarding timing and location of its ignition, as well as detailed directional multitemporal spread information. The approach is a top–down approach and a multilevel segmentation strategy is used to gradually refine the individual object membership. The multitemporal segmentation alternates between recursive seed point identification and queue-based fire tracking. The algorithm relies on only a few input parameters that control the segmentation with spatial and temporal distance thresholds. We present exemplary results that indicate the potential for further use of the derived parameters.

Soluble metal oxo alkoxide precursors are useful for the production of homogeneous, micron-sized YBa2Cu3O7−x powders and the fabrication of superconducting YBa2Cu3O7−x films on large area and nonplanar substrates. This paper describes the synthesis and chemistry of a series of soluble metal oxo alkoxide precursors for the YBa2Cu3O7−x superconducting material and the effect of the thermal processing conditions on the formation of the superconducting phase. We have found that the direct conversion of the metal oxo alkoxide precursors to an amorphous or crystalline YBa2Cu3O6.5 phase without the intermediate formation of the individual metal oxides or carbonates allows the formation of the superconducting phase at temperatures as low as 720 °C. The prevention of the intermediate formation of the metal oxide and carbonate phases is achieved by the controlled thermolysis of the metal oxo alkoxide precursors in an inert atmosphere. The precursors have potential use in the low-temperature deposition of films on large area or nonplanar surfaces and for the production of homogeneous powders.

AbstractWe demonstrate the combined use of large area depth-profiling dislocation imaging and quantitative composition and strain measurement for a strained Si/SiGe/Si sample based on nondestructive techniques of electron beam-induced current (EBIC) and X-ray diffraction reciprocal space mapping (XRD RSM). Depth and improved spatial resolution is achieved for dislocation imaging in EBIC by using different electron beam energies at a low temperature of ~7 K. Images recorded clearly show dislocations distributed in three regions of the sample: deep dislocation networks concentrated in the “strained” SiGe region, shallow misfit dislocations at the top Si/SiGe interface, and threading dislocations connecting the two regions. Dislocation densities at the top of the sample can be measured directly from the EBIC results. XRD RSM reveals separated peaks, allowing a quantitative measurement of composition and strain corresponding to different layers of different composition ratios. High-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy cross-section analysis clearly shows the individual composition layers and the dislocation lines in the layers, which supports the EBIC and XRD RSM results.

The development in Blitar regency is held by mapping based on each district’s potency. However, the potency of its natural resources has not been optimally explored for industrial opportunity since there are no supported maintenance. Result of the research shows that most of the potencies are in its natural resources. The market opportunity usually encounters the individual interest, such as a broker who create the biggest profit margin. In contrast, the craftman society collects very minimum profit. In Fact,the human resource has its huge potency but it becomes a matter when there is no regeneration to the youth. In addition, institution corporation factors are neede to increase the bargaining position of district potency. These factor are highly expected to guarantee the prover price of the material.

The land is a source of life for living creature, whether human, animal or plant. Humans live and live on the ground and these the land to source life by planting plants that produce food. Considering the importance of land because it can produce natural resources that are very beneficial for many people, the government needs to be related. Landis also one of the factors of production that are vital for human life and development in a nation. An increase in the volume of development within a country, eroding the importance of land for agriculture. Population growth requires a large area, resulting in reduced or reduced land supply. Then the government made law number 56 of PRP in 1960 concerning the stipulation of the area of agricultural land carried out by the long midrange community was hereditary. And at the time of the process of returning the rights to the community's land long midrange program, there was a problem that the long midrange community did not agree with the program because the long midrange community did not want a portion it the agricultural land was taken by the government. And in general, agricultural land controlled by the people in long midrange is used for agricultural land because the potential of natural resources here is quite abundant and even then that is used by the people in long midrange as agricultural lands, such as making rice field, plantations, fields, and still many more are use our exciting community. But the community does not know of the minimum and maximum limit or agricultural land they community.

Indonesian shipbuilding Industry plays significant roles in supporting the economics of the country in the utilization of sea resources, the distribution of natural resources as well as interconnecting people between islands. Hence, it is significant for this industry to survive and keep growing and being competitive not only to fulfill the domestic need on ships but also for export to overseas. Support from the Indonesian government with the policy to build all ships which are operated domestically in the Indonesian shipyards is needed. In the global level, the individual shipyard is relatively difficult to compete with the overseas shipyard. This is because the current global competition is not between individual shipyards but between collaboration shipyards. One of the reasons is there is no collaboration model between shipyards which appropriate with the condition of Indonesian shipyards herself can be found in the literature. This paper discusses an integration model for 4 Indonesian BUMN shipyards which is based on the domestic shipyards characteristics and challenges faced in the implementation stages.

Vinnytsia Region is a region of Ukraine that attracts people by its nature from ancient times to the present day and is subject to various active economic development efforts. Natural water (aquatic) objects such rivers, lakes, as well as their floodplains and watersheds, are among the ones that are intensively affected by human activities. Therefore, the author chose the basin of the Southern Buh River within Vinnytsia Region for establishing a degree of anthropogenic transformation in the river itself and for determining the state of its left tributaries. The paper highlights the results of field and laboratory studies of chemical and organoleptic state of water of the Southern Buh and its tributaries. The study of the Southern Buh Basin was conducted within Vinnytsia Region, as it is a region of early agricultural development and it has a large number of enterprises of various industries on its territory. Since the basin occupies a large area of Vinnytsia Region, it was reasonable to explore the main tributaries of the Southern Buh flowing through the main localities, and to identify the required sampling points. Currently, the problem of ensuring rational use of water resources is severe because of such factors as growth of water consumption, irrational use of natural resources, excessive and uncontrolled economic activity. All these factors lead to disruption of relations within geosystems, degradation of natural components and decrease of natural resources productivity. Therefore, the study of a degree of anthropogenic transformation of landscape complexes, including geosystems, allows identification of a possibility to reverse anthropogenic changes and display intensity and tendencies of natural processes after transformation of the complexes, as well as display of ability of natural components of the landscape to self-restore. All these components are necessary for field researches and form a basis for the author's research. The aim of the research is to conduct an assessment of the ecological status of surface waters, which serves as one of components of the general status of water bodies, as well as to determine their chemical status based on concentrations of high-priority hazardous pollutants. It establishes the fact that the quality of surface waters of the basin depends on a degree of pollution of water bodies that are subject to economic activity affecting the transformation of the basin system.
