The knowledge of wood from potentially producing species is desirable to propose the expansion of such product through plantations, thereby avoiding the illegal exploitation of wood in native forests.To this end, we evaluated mean annual increment, wood density and vessel diameter of Balfourodendron riedelianum and Peltophorum dubium in BEYOND GREE
Forecasting of PM2.5 Concentration in Beijing Using Hybrid Deep Learning Framework Based on Attention Mechanism
Air pollution has become a critical factor affecting the health of human beings.Forecasting the trend of air pollutants will be of considerable help to public health, including improving early-warning systems.The article designs a novel hybrid deep learning framework FPHFA (FPHFA is the abbreviation of the title of this paper) for PM2.5 concentrati
Sources and Level of Rare Earth Element Contamination of Atmospheric Dust in Nigeria
Background.Rare earth element (REE) composition of atmospheric dust has recently been used to trace potential sources of dust pollution.Objective.The present study aimed to determine the sources of atmospheric pollution in the study area using REE patterns and determine their level of pollution.Methods.Twenty-five (25) atmospheric dust samples were
TOLD LIKE IT IS! AN EVALUATION OF AN INTEGRATED ORAL DEVELOPMENT PILOT PROJECT
Much established pedagogical and CALL (computer-assisted language learning) research advocates an integrated constructivist approach to the use of technology in language learning.This paper reports on a pilot project delivered to first year undergraduate French students.The project aim was to deliver a blend of collaborative and individual learning
Antimicrobial use and resistance in food-producing animals and the environment: an African perspective
Abstract Background The overuse of antimicrobials in food animals and the subsequent contamination of the environment have been associated with development and spread of antimicrobial resistance.This review presents information on antimicrobial use, resistance and status of surveillance systems in food animals and the environment in Africa.Methods
