ASSESSING CURRENT AND PROJECTED SOIL LOSS UNDER CHANGING LAND USE AND CLIMATE USING RUSLE WITH REMOTE SENSING AND GIS IN THE LAKE TANA BASIN, UPPER BLUE NILE RIVER BASIN, ETHIOPIA

Erosion of soil in the Lake Tana basin poses a critical economic and environmental crisis due to its impacts on agriculture productivity, food security and reservoir sedimentations.This study assesses soil erosion hazards by considering changes of land use and the climate.Simulation of land use change was conducted using CA_Markov chain model while

Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) offers a growing variety of methods for querying potential diagnostic biomarkers of multiple sclerosis in living central nervous system tissue.For the past three decades, 1H-MRS has enabled the acquisition of a rich dataset suggestive of numerous metabolic alterations in lesions, normal-appearing whit

Abstract Background The effectiveness of weight loss therapies is commonly measured using body mass index and other obesity-related variables.Although these data are often stored in electronic health records (EHRs) and potentially very accessible, few studies on obesity and weight loss have used data derived from EHRs.We developed processes for obt

ABSTRACT The systemic spread of viruses in plants requires successful viral cell-to-cell movement through plasmodesmata (PD).Viral movement proteins (MPs) interact with cellular proteins to modify and utilize host transport routes.Broad bean wilt virus 2 (BBWV2) moves from cell to cell as a virion through the PD gated by VP37, the MP of BBWV2.Howev

Nowadays, discomfort glare indices are Watering Can frequently calculated by using evalglare.Due to the lack of knowledge on the implications of the methods and parameters of evalglare, the default settings are often used.But wrong parameter settings can lead to inappropriate glare source detection and therefore to invalid glare indices calculation
