This study primarily aimed to examine the determinants of rural households’ vulnerability to poverty and to profile the households according to their level of vulnerability using Feasible Generalized Least Square (FGLS) and Logistic Regression analysis with the help of data collected from a sample of 500 households in two Woredas. The general poverty line of the study area was determined to be Birr 248 per month per adult equivalent and 29.8 percent of the population in the study areas were found to be poor.

Water resources of Mongolia are highly vulnerable to climatic conditions due to harsh climate with four distinct seasons, high annual temperature fluctuations, and low rainfall. Average annual temperature ranges between 8.5oC in the Gobi and -7.8oC in the high mountain region. Average annual precipitation is around 200-500 mm and total water resource is estimated at 599 km3. About 64% is surface water and 36% is actually groundwater. Mining is rapidly changing the water consumption and landscape in Mongolia.

The Building-incorporated photovoltaics (BIPVs) are photovoltaic materials that are used to supplant traditional/conventional building materials used in parts of the building envelope, for example, the rooftop, bay windows, or veneers. They may represent a powerful, versatile and eco-friendly tool for achieving the goal of ever increasing power demand for zero energy and zero emission buildings of the proximate future.

Abstract Purpose: The success of any service industry is not only highly depended on its ability to attract potential customers, but also to maintain and retain customers who have used the services and products.

An attempt was made to find whether or not the quality of ground water in the areas of study suitable for human consumption. Ground water samples were collected from wells in different locations within a radius of 25 km of Beni mellal city. These water samples taken from 10 sampling points in each one of 4 areas were analyzed for their physicochemical characteristics. The results show that the conductivity in the four areas is an average of about 1138 μScm-1 that is far exceeds the national standard and WHO regulatory limit of about of 500 μScm-1.
