The experimental sites were located within the humid Forest Margins Benchmark Area (FMBA) in southern Cameroon, an area of 1.54 million ha, selected over a south-to-north gradient of increasing human population and decreasing forest cover and thus divided into three equally sized blocks of low, medium, and high forest cover (Douthwaite et al. 2005).
We synthesized data from the Forest Margins Benchmark Area (FMBA), comprising 1.54 million hectares (ha), in southern Cameroon and assessed the impact of fire exclusion on yield, labor inputs, soil fertility, ecosystem carbon stocks, and fallow recovery indicators in two common field types (plantain and maize) under both current and reduced fallow scenarios.
Here we have identified how a national ED data system can provide a benchmark; identifying areas most in need of such interventions.
To receive funds, grantees must commit to demonstrating improvement across several benchmark areas, not just for children and families, but for how they do business for those families through coordination and referrals to other services.
RT-QPCR has become established as a benchmark in many areas for trace detection of DNA, and is increasingly being used in legislative and regulatory enforcement.
The aim of the study was also to assess the current capacity for essential anaesthesia and surgical services in Somalia with the purpose of providing a benchmark for critical areas needing improvement.
A new organic agriculture support scheme designed based on such indications further increases the OFS SV and almost closes the GAP with a benchmark farm of the area, featured with ideal performances in terms of environmental and economic indicators.
The fuzzy ART-ARTMAP neural network is proposed seeking a superior performance, in terms of precision and speed, when compared to conventional ARTMAP, and much more when compared to the neural networks that use the training by backpropagation algorithm, which is a benchmark in neural network area.
The temperatures in a benchmark location in that area of the Pacific Ocean were 3.4 degrees Fahrenheit above the average as of Aug. 5. That's slightly higher than it was on Aug. 6, 1997, when it was 3.2 degrees Fahrenheit above normal.
Meanwhile, residents can use the portal to search for a service and get an estimate for its likely cost, based on their needs and a benchmark of services in the area.
