30、ome fragmented; a combination of satellite imagery and ground surveys reveals panda “islands” in patches of forest separated by cleared land. The population of these islands has become isolated because the animals are loath to cross open areas .Just putting a road through panda habitat may be enough

31、 to split a population in two. The minuscule size of the panda populations worries conservationists. The smallest groups have too few animals to be viable, and will inevitably die out .The larger populations may be viable in the short term, but will be susceptible to genetic defects as a result of i

32、nbreeding. In these circumstances, a more traditional threat to pandas the cycle of flowering and subsequent withering of the bamboo that is their staple food can become literally species-threatening. The flowering prompts pandas to move from one area to another, thus preventing inbreeding in otherw

The latest conservation management plan for the panda, prepared by Chinas Ministry of Forestry and the World Wide Fund for Nature, aims primarily at maintaining panda

34、 habitats and ensuring that populations are linked wherever possible. This plan will change some existing reserve boundaries, establish 14 new reserves and protect or replant corridors-of forest between panda islands. Other measures include better control of poaching, reducing the degradation of hab

35、itats outside reserves, and reforestation. The plan is ambitious. Implementation will be expensive and will require participation by individuals ranging from villagers to government officials.

38、rks) Honda has developed a way to read patterns of electric currents on a persons scalp as well as changes in cerebral blood flow when a person thinks about four simple movements-moving the right hand, moving the left hand, running and eating. 67 In a video shown at Tokyo headquarters, a person wear

Another problem is that

40、brain patterns differ greatly among individuals, and so about two to three hours of studying them in advance are needed for the technology to work. The company, a leader in robotics, acknowledged the technology was still at a basic research stage, with no immediate practical applications in the work
