Assessing the future effects of climate change on water availability requires an understanding of how precipitation and evapotranspiration rates will respond to changes in atmospheric forcing. Use of simplified hydrological models is required because of lack of meteorological forcings with the high space and time resolutions required to model hydrological processes in mountains river basins, an...

Land surface evapotranspiration (ET) is a central component of the Earth's global energy balance and water cycle. Understanding ET is important in quantifying the impacts of human influences on the hydrological cycle and thus helps improving water use efficiency and strengthening water use planning and watershed management. China has experienced tremendous land use and land cover changes (LUCC)...

Evapotranspiration (ET) plays a significant role in regional and global climates through its partitioning in hydrological cycles, and its estimation is thus of a great importance in assessing ground water and surface water resources, predicting crop yield and planning land use. For experimenting the possibility to assess the hydrological responses of ecological restoration in the Western Chines...

Dengue is one of the major international public health concerns. Although progress is underway, developing a vaccine against the disease is challenging. Thus, the main approach to fight the disease is vector control. A model for the transmission of Dengue disease is presented. It consists of eight mutually exclusive compartments representing the human and vector dynamics. It also includes a con...

Renewable energy resource utilisation is becoming more prevalent in society and can be a sustainable method to meet rising demand consumption. The International Energy Agency reports that presently, approximately 33% of total electricity output around the world from renewable sources. However, Nigeria, World Bank reported this figure as 18.2% 2015. It important understand how Nigeria raise aver...
