In comparison to the current situation, the estimated rise in the total budgets per year for the 2050s and 2080s was 1.2% and 1.4%, respectively. The changes in groundwater due to climate changes, as predicted by various models, are presented in Table 1. Table 1. The predicted impacts ...
Lake Chad, in the Sahelian zone of west-central Africa, provides food and water to ~50 million people and supports unique ecosystems and biodiversity. In the past decades, it became a symbol of current climate change, held up by its dramatic shrinkage in the 1980s. Despites a partial reco...
This increase must be interpreted with care, given that it can be attributed to both a worsening acute food insecurity situation and a substantial (22 percent) expansion in the population analysed between 2020 and 2021. In addition, an all-time high of up to 49 million people in 46 ...
The recent jihadist attack in Algeria, and the subsequent hostage situation prompted some knee-jerk discussions. From these discussions came the belief that the incident was unprecedented. A closer examination shows quite the opposite Subdued Excitement as South Africa Hosts Africa Cup of Nations ...
obtained from the First International Satellite Land Surface Climatology Project (ISLSCP) Field Experiment (FIFE) which took place in central Kansas during 1987鈥 1989 and the Hydrologic Atmospheric Pilot Experiment in the Sahel (HAPEX-Sahel) experiment which took place in Niger, West Africa, in ...
[1]In the US or the UK, nobody would support a SWAT team decision to shoot dozens of pedestrians in order to stop the escape of one murderer. Or claim that in a hostage situation it was OK to lob grenades from afar (killing all) rather than take the risk of losing police in stormi...
ultimately leading to longer transmission seasons and a greater number of human infections, more of which are expected to be severe6,7. Increasing temperatures may further exacerbate this situation by enabling greater spread and transmission in low-risk or currently dengue-free parts of Asia, Europe...
This policy has been adopted mostly by countries in the Sahel sub-region. Stepped-wedge randomized cluster trials involving fifty-four health posts conducted in central Senegal from 2008 to 2010, in children aged 3–59 months, showed that there was a reduction of 60% in the incidence of ...
In this chapter we consider the particular preservation storage procedures applied to a range of cell types used to produce cell-based medicines. Specifically, it deals with the scientific considerations for preserving each cell type and the kinds of cry
For the sake of clarity, results from both simulations will be referred to as “1900s” and “2100s” in the remainder of the paper. Results from the SAFRAN reference simulation will be referred to as “2000s” or “reference situation”. 5.1 Estimating Land Cover Changes The land cover ...
