Protein, fat, ash and mineral content were determined for the preprocessed, well prepared and spoiled bugs. The proximate composition and minerals of the insects were determined using standard methods. One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used in analyzing data. They were found to contain 30-36% protein; 51-53% fat and 1-1.5% ash respectively. Spoiled bugs contained the lowest protein content of 30.76±0.98% and highest amount of magnesium of 120±2.2 mg/100g while the preprocessed and well processed contained 110±2.5 mg/100g and 112±2.4 mg/100g respectively. Phosphorous was the most abundant in all forms with a value of 570-575 mg/100g. Calcium levels for all the three forms showed an overall mean of 85-89 mg/100g.

  • Consumption of Insects As Food in Three Villages Of
    e- ISSN: 2394 -5532 p- ISSN: 2394 -823X Scientific Journal Impact Factor: 3.762 International Journal of Applied And Pure Science and Agriculture www.ijapsa.com CONSUMPTIO N OF INSECTS AS FOOD IN THREE VILLAGES OF NORTH WEST DISTRICT ,BOTSWANA John Cassius Moreki 1 and Sethunya Obatre 2 1Department of Animal Science and Production, Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resources , Private Ba g 0027, Gaborone, Botswana. 2Department of Agricultural Economics, Education and ExtensExtensionion , BotswanaUniversity of Agriculture and Natural Resources , Private Bag 0027, Gaborone, Botswana . Abstract This study investigated the consumption of ed ible insects in Nxaraga, Sehithwa and Shorobe villages of the North West district of Botswana. Information was gathered using a structured questionnaire which was administered to 60 respondents across the three villages and also through direct observation. A total of six insect species were identified belonging to six families and four orders (i.e., Coleoptera, Isoptera, Lepidoptera and Orthoptera) with t he two most consumed orders being Lepidoptera and Coleoptera. Carebara vidua F. Smith (33.3%) was the most consumed followed by Sternocera orissa Buq. (21.7%), Agrius convolvuli L. (15.0%), Oryctes boas Fabr.(13.3%), Imbrasia belina Westwood (10.0%) and Lo custa migratoria (6.7%). The study revealed that insects were abundant during and/or immediately after the rainy season. This implies that insects can be harvested and preserved during the time of abundan ce to maximize their utilization in meeting the human protein needs. The common methods of collecting insects were hand picking, trapping and digging. Insects were prepared for consumption by boiling, frying or roasting.

  • Disaggregation of Bird Families Listed on Cms Appendix Ii
    Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals 2nd Meeting of the Sessional Committee of the CMS Scientific Council (ScC-SC2) Bonn, Germany, 10 – 14 July 2017 UNEP/CMS/ScC-SC2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II (Prepared by the Appointed Councillors for Birds) Summary: The first meeting of the Sessional Committee of the Scientific Council identified the adoption of a new standard reference for avian taxonomy as an opportunity to disaggregate the higher-level taxa listed on Appendix II and to identify those that are considered to be migratory species and that have an unfavourable conservation status. The current paper presents an initial analysis of the higher-level disaggregation using the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World Volumes 1 and 2 taxonomy, and identifies the challenges in completing the analysis to identify all of the migratory species and the corresponding Range States. The document has been prepared by the COP Appointed Scientific Councilors for Birds. This is a supplementary paper to COP document UNEP/CMS/COP12/Doc.25.3 on Taxonomy and Nomenclature UNEP/CMS/ScC-Sc2/Inf.3 DISAGGREGATION OF BIRD FAMILIES LISTED ON CMS APPENDIX II 1. Through Resolution 11.19, the Conference of Parties adopted as the standard reference for bird taxonomy and nomenclature for Non-Passerine species the Handbook of the Birds of the World/BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World, Volume 1: Non-Passerines, by Josep del Hoyo and Nigel J.

  • Section 6 - Open Space Residential Design (Osrd)
    SECTION 6 - OPEN SPACE RESIDENTIAL DESIGN (OSRD) 6.100 PURPOSE An Open Space Residential Design (OSRD) is a residential development in which the buildings or lots are clustered together with reduced lot area, frontage, setback and lot coverage requirements. The total number of allowed residential units is based on the number of units that could be permitted for conventional development. The land not included in the building lots is preserved as open space. Open Space Residential Design is the preferred form of residential development in the Town of Dartmouth. The purpose of Open Space Residential Design (OSRD) is: To encourage a more efficient form of development that consumes less open land and conforms to existing topography and natural features better than a conventional subdivision. To allow for greater flexibility and creativity in the design of residential developments. To encourage the preservation of open space, agricultural and forestry land, plant and wildlife habitat, other natural resources including aquifers, waterbodies, wetlands, historical and archeological resources. To protect existing and potential municipal water supplies. To preserve and enhance Dartmouth’s traditional New England landscape. To protect scenic vistas as viewed from the Town’s roadways and other public places. To reduce the construction cost and maintenance of streets, utilities and public services in a more economical and efficient manner in harmony with the site and neighborhood. To protect the value of real property. To minimize the total amount of disturbance on the site. To preserve open space areas for active and passive recreational use, including the provision of neighborhood parks and trails. To encourage the provision of diverse housing opportunities especially housing that is affordable to Town residents and the integration of a variety of housing types.

  • Residential High-Rise Clusters As a Contemporary Planning Challenge in Manama by Florian Wiedmann Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences Dr
    Revista Gremium® | Volumen 2 | Número 04 | Agosto - Diciembre 2015 | ISSN 2007-8773 | México, D. F. Residential High-Rise Clusters as a Contemporary Planning Challenge in Manama by Florian Wiedmann Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences Dr. Florian Wiedmann is a Senior Urban Planner and part-time Lecturer at Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences. He holds a PhD in urban planning and his recent research efforts are focused on the urbanization in the Gulf region. In addition to his academic occupation he is co-founder and principal of ARRUS, an urban planning consultancy located in Frankfurt and Chicago. Email: [email protected] Received: 29 April 29 2015 Accepted: 05 July 2015 Abstract Available online: 01 August 2015 This paper analyzes the different roots of current residential high-rise clusters emerging in new city districts along the coast of Bahrain’s capital city Manama, and the resulting urban planning and design challenges. Since the local real-estate markets were liberalized in Bahrain in 2003, the population grew rapidly to more than one million inhabitants. Consequently, the housing demand increased rapidly due to extensive immigration. Many residential developments were however constructed for the upper spectrum of the real-estate market, due to speculative tendencies causing a raise in land value. The emerging high-rise clusters are developed along the various waterfronts of Manama on newly reclaimed land. This paper explores the spatial consequences of the recent boom in construction boom and the various challenges for architects and urban planners to enhance urban qualities. Keywords: high-rise, cluster development, housing, urban planning, Bahrain, Manama Introduction gaining national independence during 1970, the urban transformation process was dominated Since the end of the 20th century, a new vision by the welfare state mechanisms and a car- in urban development has been introduced based model of town planning (imported by in the case of the cities in the gulf, in order to Western architects and planners).
