Papua New Guinea - Science topic

I need some assistance to ID this Fern I collected in remote Papua New Guinea tropical lowland hill forest at 50-100 m asl. I think it is one of the Dryopteridaceae but I can not put a genus and species to it.

Thanks,

I am doing a Case study on the impacts of tax on Multinational companies

I am doing a research on "The impacts of tax on multinational companies; A case study based in Madang Province, Papua New Guinea"

I am a student at Pacific Adventist University ( Papua New Guinea) who is working on a research project for my Masters degree. The title of my research project is Establishing the Relationship between Metacognition Awareness and the Academic Performance of Nursing Students at the University of Papua New Guinea.

I would like to use the tool with a modification to the answering options. To turn the Yes or No options to a 7-point Likert scale; 1 being very untrue of me and 7 being very true of me.

The essay has a total word requirement of 2500 (+/- 5%) words. It should demonstrate proper use of tables and diagrams and graphs where necessary and should also demonstrate in-depth research skills including use of a wide variety of information sources, proper citations and referencing formatting, and proper paraphrasing of borrowed ideas and information

Hello,

I am looking for suggestions about international research centers or universities involved in Papua New Guinea. The research topic should be preferably related to forestry, climate, and biodiversity.

Thank you.

I am currently carrying out a research into teacher education in Papua New Guinea. Can someone help me access all the latest Journals on Teacher Education in Papua New Guinea please?

Dear colleagues,

in my classes about global health issues I often use Gapminder tools to visualize macroregional differences. On our last seminar, we talked about two key indicators - life expectancy and income, and how that can be linked together. In Gapminder, countries are devided also according to WB to so called Income groups. I discussed with students, that there are still differences within one income group still, and one example we showed , is a more than 20 years gap difference in life expectancy between countries of Nicaragua and Papua New Guinea. They both belong to Income group No.2, have almost identical GDP/capita income, and still a huge difference in their life expectancy indicator (sse the picture). Does anybody here can share some insights, why it is so? Is there such a difference in health care system of those countries with very similar macroeconomic indicator? I will appreciate any idea realated to that. Thank you!

Jolly Phonics reading program is an effective way to teach early reading to young learners.

How can lectures at the university prepare early childhood student teachers to teach Jolly Phonics to children. .

I am looking for a current list of protected reptiles in Papua New Guinea.

Papua New Guinea has vast array of mineral ore exaction operations currently active within this island nation. Due to its complex terrain coverage it would be highly educational for its raw data sets to be made available for research and analysis purposes.

Do you know any epithermal gold deposits that contain blue quartz? So far I have only seen it at the Ladolam gold deposit at Lihir Island, Papua New Guinea.

I did ask the same question during one of our postgraduate group discussion when I was studying at Hokkaido University, Japan from 2007 to 2010.

Some of the group members gave their individual opinion but I never even researched on it to understand it myself. I was actually researching on a massive sulfide deposit at that time.

The question came about because I come from an island country (Papua New Guinea) with similar geological setting as Japan and both countries are located along the Pacific Ring of Fire. PNG has a number of porphyry deposits whereas Japan has none.

The contributions from a number of experts in "Thematic Article, Resource Geology, Vol 68" have given more insights into the geological factors why porphyry type deposits were geologically denied to evolved in Japan.

Many thanks to those authors.

Intended purpose is to discover future implication of the increasing number of Street vendor and ways of minimizing the problem.

Please add you perception to the question.

I am trying my best to figure out a concise methodology in which I can extract oil from ripe Pandanus conoideus L fruits. Pandanus conoideus contains high amount of oil or fat and the oil is edible and widely sourced using traditional methods in Papua New Guinea, West Papua and Indonesia. I attached two pictures which I downloaded from google search images for clearance on this particular fruit.

I'm doing a PHD research on climate change change and adaptation for Papua New Guinea. I have search through different sites to seek download of Book related to geo-spatial technology for climate change study and adaptation. I can't come across any. Its only manuscript I have come across. How ever would very much desire the Book for my study. Could any body help?

thank you

No addtional information

By DRR we mean, "Efforts that aim towards reducing the damage caused by natural hazards like earthquakes, floods, droughts and cyclones, through an ethic of prevention"

By Mainstreaming we mean "looking critically at each programme, activity and project that is being planned, not only from the perspective of reducing the existing risks of disasters but also from the perspective of minimizing its potential contribution to the creation of new risks of disasters"

I am researching the use of renewable energy smart grids or stand alone power systems for Papua New Guinea and focusing on the Markham District's new township solar and wind renewable energy supply. Where can I collect the best information/data (either GIS or ground-based) and the best methods (software) to analyse this information/data?

Theory Advocates in PNG Context?

With the issues faced in PNG context.

By analysing existing vegetation biomass/carbon stock data in Papua, I would like to get a better idea of whether carbon stocks in forests in Papua are similar to forests in Sumatra or Borneo.

It would be great if someone can give me some advice on where to find such biomass/carbon data or with whom to connect. Thank you in advance

It seems to me that the plant distributions in this paper are explained not so much by the geology as by the collection history of New Guinea. The collection bias is not accounted for i.e. one degree grid cells with higher numbers of species may well also have a higher total number of collections. Indeed all of my collections maps for New Guinea indicate that collections are focussed mainly in the north and west of the island around Lae and Bulolo. Is this cause or effect of the findings from this paper?

In order to draw conclusions which are not heavily affected by sampling bias it must be necessary to correct for this e.g. by dividing number of collections by the number of species to get a value indicating the completeness of the flora for that area.

This metric would serve as an indication of perceived or actual species richness in relation to sampling, where a value of 1 indicates that every collection is a unique record of that species in the cell. Values tending towards 0 indicate that the same species have been collected several times within a cell.
