Understanding the effects of climate change on building indoor thermal conditions is importance for providing a comfortable environment occupants. Some multi-family dwellings have already been listed as heritage in China (hereinafter referred to apartments), limiting modifications envelope. However, effect comfort apartments with compact interior (i.e. without living room) built before 1980s di...

Community assembly research has mostly focused on areas with single vegetation types; however, the abiotic and biotic factors affecting community act across regions. Integrating into “compound” habitats gained attention as an emerging strategy to analyze spatial temporal patterns of biodiversity. We used a compound habitat approach explore relative roles filtering, competition, stochastic proce...

Drylands cover about 41% of the Earth’s land surface and are inhabited by more than two billion people, who rely on diversified ecosystem services provided drylands for their livelihoods. Achieving sustainable livelihoods (SLs) is a key component achieving development goals set agenda in 2030. Although it has aroused extensive interest, research SLs at regional scale still limited. This paper a...

The Origins Space Telescope’s orders-of-magnitude improvement over the scientific capabilities of prior infrared (IR) missions is based on its cold telescope (4.5 K) combined with low-noise far-IR detectors and ultra-stable mid-IR detectors. A number trades were made in favor a design staged cooling, avoiding warm objects zones minimizing deployments their complexity. result an architecture tha...

During last two decades in India, the productivity and efficiency of horticultural production have received particular attention and key concept has been to accelerate plant growth to achieve maximum production. Protected cultivation makes it possible to obtain increased crop productivity maintaining a favourable environment for the plants. Therefore, production in greenhouses has become more p...

Schistosomiasis remains a global public health problem affecting about 240 million people. In Zambia, 2 million are infected while 3 million live with the risk of getting infected. Research and interventions relating to schistosomiasis are mainly linked to disease epidemiology. Malacological and ecological aspects of the disease are superficially understood. Developing effective control measure...
