1.Bats are the second largest mammalian Order and important providers of ecosystem services including insect pest control, pollination and seed dispersal.Yet, the lack of basic information on their demographic rates hampers detecting changes in population trends, and thus conservation efforts.2.The elusive life-styles, that leads to imperfect and O
Background: Superior mesenteric ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) causes barrier dysfunction and facilitates bacterial translocation (BT) in the small intestine, which can even lead to systemic sepsis.Our previous research showed that luminal administration of glucose and its anaerobic glycolytic metabolites exerted cytoprotective effects on epithelial ce
Urban areas, particularly in developing countries face immense challenges such as climate change, poverty, lack of resources poor land use management systems, and week environmental management practices.Mitigating against these challenges is often hampered by lack of data on urban expansion, urban footprint and land cover.To support the recently ad
An experimental and numerical study has been carried out to investigate the forced convection heat transfer by clean or dusty air in a two dimensional annulus enclosure filled with porous media (glass beads) between two vertical concentric cylinders.The outer cylinder is of (82 mm) outside diameters and the inner cylinder of (27 mm) outside diamete
