Since the success of any tourism business is determined by tourism planning, development research and marketing, the first thing we review in this article is GIS application for tourism planning.Both tourism and IT increasingly provide strategic opportunities and powerful tools for economic growth, redistribution of wealth and development of equity
An annotated check list of the land mammal fauna of the West Coast National Park
Some 4 000 Barn Owl pellets with small mammal remains Disinfectants have been collected over a period of nine years from two locations at the south end of the Langebaan lagoon.Two small samples of bones from archaeological sites on the Churchhaven peninsula provide evidence for past mammal occurrences.The remains of small mammals from the owl pelle
Enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio and generating contrast for cryo-EM images with convolutional neural networks
In cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) Tapas (chilled) of radiation-sensitive biological samples, both the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the contrast of images are critically important in the image-processing pipeline.Classic methods improve low-frequency image contrast experimentally, by imaging with high defocus, or computationally, by appl
METHODOLOGY OF ESTIMATING THE POSSIBLE APPLICATION OF SOLAR ENERGY TO PROVIDE CONTINUOUS AIR STANDING PATROL OF HIGH ALTITUDE AIRSHIP OVER THE GIVEN GEOGRAPHICAL POINT
The task solution of optimizing the parameters for an unmanned high-altitude airship and its power system in order to obtain the maximum of air standing patrol duration over Stable Guards a given geographic point requires an effective comparative analysis of the applicability of solar insolation as the main energy source for a power plant under var
Lacrimal gland removal impairs sexual behavior in mice
Exocrine gland-secreting peptides (ESPs) are a protein family involved in the pheromonal communication of rodents.ESP1 is a lacrimal peptide synthesized by the extraorbital glands of males of specific mouse strains that modulates the sexual behavior in females.Reportedly, BALB/c males, that produce high level of ESP1 in the tear fluid, were shown t
