This study expounds the dynamic relationships among agricultural land-use change, rural population migration, and sediment transport. The variability of suspended load was detected by Mann–Kendall Pettitt tests. From 1961 to 2007, annual trend in concentration demonstrated significant reduction (? = 0.001), with decreasing rates 0.0144 g/L/y 84.7 t/y, respectively. An abrupt change-point 1984 f...

During pregnancy, 5-14% of women are diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and the incidence has been increasing (Jovanovic & Pettitt, 2001; Paglia & Coustan, 2011). While insulin treatment is still the “gold standard” therapy for controlling maternal glycemia, the increasing use of oral anti-diabetic agents such as glyburide and metformin has begun to change standard care (Maymone...

The loessial tableland is a unique landform type on the Loess Plateau in China. Long-term soil erosion has led to retreat of gullies and rapid reduction fertile arable land, which further decreased agricultural production. In this study, we chose Malian River basin analyze temporal spatial variation its runoff sediment load, as well potential causes. annual load at six hydrological stations stu...

Climate change, variability and anthropogenic forcings such as land use change are the main of river discharge variability. However, an understanding their simultaneous impacts on remains limited in some parts world. To shed light this issue, objective article is to investigate effects rainfall Nyong basin (at Olama Mbalmayo gauging stations) its sub-basins (So’o Mefou) over long period 1950–20...
