Indigenous or traditional medicine has, since the 1970s, been widely regarded as a resource likely to contribute to strengthening the health care systems in low income countries. This paper examines the state of traditional medicine using evidence from three case studies in Central Kenya. While the cases are too few to represent the broad diversity of cultures and related healing systems in the...

One of the problems in computational aeroacoustics (CAA) is the large disparity between the length and time scales of the flow field, which may be the source of aerodynamically generated noise, and the ones of the resulting acoustic field. This is the main reason why numerical schemes, used to calculate the timeand space-derivatives, should exhibit a low dispersion and dissipation error. This p...
