Reservoir sustainability indexing/estimation is introduced in this paper, capable of handling sparse data.It innovates by interconnecting a set of three variables: estimating Environmental Water Requirements (EWRs) by conceptual rules; estimating Reliability, Resilience and Vulnerability (RRV) criteria by using EWRs; and thereby calculating Sustain
Abstract Background Hyposalivation is treated using oral cholinergic drugs; however, systemic side effects occasionally lead to discontinuation of treatment.We aimed to investigate the effects of transdermal pilocarpine on the salivary gland Hoover AXI Combined HMNB6182DX5K 60cm No Frost Fridge Freezer skin on saliva secretion and safety in rats.Me
The disasters of encounter of extreme rainstorm and high tide level will aggravate the flood in coastal cities.In order to explore the impact of the encounter of rainstorm and tide on flood control and drainage in coastal cities,based on the annual maximum 1 day rainfall and its corresponding tide level data of Chiwan Station in Shenzhen from 1967
Lidar techniques have been widely employed for atmospheric remote sensing during past decades.However, an important drawback of the traditional atmospheric pulsed lidar technique is the Umbrellas large blind range, typically hundreds of meters, due to incomplete overlap between the transmitter and the receiver, etc.The large blind range prevents th
Ex situ conservation is an important technique for protecting rare and endangered wildlife, and maintaining stable individual health is crucial to its success.Gut microbiota composition is a critical indicator of animal health and should therefore be closely monitored during ex situ conservation to track impacts on animal health.Forest LIGHTERS mus
