Abstract. In this paper, a classical model describing a food web in a chemostat involving three species competing for non-reproducing, growth rate-limiting nutrient in which one of the competitors predates on one of the other competitors is considered. Quantitative analyses of non-negativity and boundedness of solution trajectories, dissipativity, and behavior around equilibria, global stability and persistence of the model equations are analyzed. We present the global stability of equilibria by
For hundreds of years, the agricultural sector has been connected with production of essential food crops, being the main source of livelihood for many people. The fundamental role of agriculture in economic development of many countries around the world has long been recognized (Alston and Pardey 2014). A stable agricultural sector ensures a nation of food security, preventing malnourishment that traditionally has been believed to be one of the major problems in developing countries (Shetty 2015)
Functional foods play an important role in daily life as they impart positive effects on health. Foods obtained from fruits and herbs are considered beneficial as they are rich in phytonutrients thereby execute vital functions in maintenance of health and prevention of diseases. Nowadays, consumers are more focused towards health boosting products due to increased awareness regarding healthy diet. Consistent ingestion of these foods are interconnected with lower incidence of various degenerative
Faba bean known botanically as Vicia faba L. is an annual legume and one of the most important crops extensively grown for food and feed (Duc 1997; Crépon et al. 2010). It is also able to grow in various climatic zones even without fertilizers. Faba bean has high protein content, approximately 25 ~ 35% of the seed dry matter and is a rich source of lysine (Singh et al. 2013; Calabrò et al. 2014). In addition, it contains other main nutrients, such as carbohydrates, dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals
Sugar is an important source of food for our bodies to function properly. But, unfortunately, sugar is incredibly toxic and could also damage our bodies completely. Obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and heart diseases could very well be linked to sugar. “When a person overloads on fructose, the liver turns that into fat. Some of that fat ends up in the bloodstream and helps generate a dangerous kind of cholesterol called small dense LDL. These are known to lodge in blood vessels form plaque
Effects of Family Therapy on Criminal Behavior vs. Prison Rehabilitation Methods Regina Hudson Southern New Hampshire University Abstract This Functional Family Therapy (FFT) study was conducted to discover the effects of a family based rehabilitation approach through family therapy, based on evidence of greater family relationships, interrelation, and structure. Prime risk factors in criminal behaviors begin with the developmental, biological, and socially structures in the
brief enlists various centrally sponsored schemes for supporting rural tourism in the country. In further section, a few organizations functioning across the country in this space have been introduced. The penultimate section discusses a couple of case studies of successful rural tourism projects. The final section analyses the key factors responsible for successful implementation
The regulation of biogeochemical cycles, maintenance of predator-prey relationships by various types of food chains and food webs and finally the balance of nature are maintained through biodiversity. Again it indirectly influences the climatic factors, soil nature, chemistry of air etc. that are the abiotic elements of an ecosystem. Ecosystem diversity could be best understood if one studies the communities in various ecological niches within the given ecosystem. Community diversity: Habitats can
tooth/teeth includes supra eruption of the opposing tooth/teeth, mesial drifting of adjacent tooth/teeth, inability to talk properly, changes in facial features and sinus expansion which leads to chronic headache finally temporomandibular disorders. Studies strongly suggest that, dental caries and periodontal disease were the major causes of tooth loss in early childhood and adolescence. Transgender community doesn’t bother about their oral health because of their lower socioeconomic status
experimented with paraffin injections, with disastrous results (1). Today more than 15 million breast plastic surgery procedures were performed around the world, according to a study by the International Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. From the early days of plastic surgerie, physicians used other substances
