From their largely descriptive beginnings about a half century ago, studies on the ecology of small mammals have mushroomed in number, scope, content and complexity.

Reproductive wastage is a major inefficiency in all livestock production with embryonic mortality accounting for a major portion of this loss.

Throughout the world many projects have been underway to investigate the conversion of renewable biomass into energy and synthetic fuels by thermo- chemical methods such as combustion, pyrolysis, gasification and lique- faction.
