Using porous wind barriers for the microclimate modification of agricultural lands, urban areas, and surrounding roads is a ubiquitous practice.This study establishes a new method for numerically modeling the turbulent flow in and around forest shelterbelts using an advanced multiple-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann model (MRTLBM).A detailed descr
Abstract Background As the resource implications of expanding anti-retroviral therapy (ART) are likely to be large, there is a need to explore its cost-effectiveness.So far, there is no such information available from Ethiopia.Objective To assess the cost-effectiveness of ART for routine clinical practice in a district hospital setting in Ethiopia.
Alpine glaciers are vulnerable to climate changes, and their recession due to warming has already induced a large number of geohazards closely related to the glacial motion, such as debris flow.Strong coupling of the geology, geomorphology, climate, and glacial action controls the type, size, development, and frequency of debris flow along the Parl
BackgroundHigh-throughput tools for pan-genomic study, especially the DNA microarray platform, have sparked a remarkable increase in data production and enabled a shift in the scale at which biological investigation is possible.The use of microarrays to examine evolutionary relationships and processes, however, is predominantly restricted to model
