Cercariae of trematodes in freshwater snails were studied in 1694 snails collected from rivers and streams in three climatic zones of Sri Lanka during 2005 to 2008. Four snail species; Thiara scabra, T. tuberculata, Paludomous sphearica and Gyraulus saigonensis were collected from nine sites in four districts; Matale, Kandy, Kegalle, and Kurunegala. Snails were allowed to release cercariae unde...

Safeguarding affordable and energy-efficient medical services has emerged as a crucial necessity to sustain national healthcare systems, especially in view of the current pandemic. While set standards guidelines aim minimum energy requirements for building facilities, more insight into sector’s consumption Cyprus is deemed necessary, since it 4th most energy-demanding sector per square meter th...

The present study highlights a comparative numerical simulation of two geometric configurations three-bladed vertical axis wind rotor. was carried out for different speeds the last year 2021 and applied on climatic zones, Tiaret from Algeria Nouadhibou Mauritania. This is useful to estimate aerodynamic power new tandem (biplane) geometry. objective this predict lift coefficients in order effici...

A bimodal distribution of tropical tree cover at intermediate precipitation levels has been presented as evidence of fire-induced bistability. Here we subdivide satellite vegetation data into those from human-unaffected areas and those from regions close to human-cultivated zones. Bimodality is found to be almost absent in the unaffected regions, whereas it is significantly enhanced close to cu...
