Section B contains variables that assess the degree of knowledge of EMS. The first variable is to assess if the respondents have been in an emergency and the second one is to gauge their respective responses during emergencies. The third variable is to determine if the respondents are aware of...
African countries that border the Sahara Desert are working together on theGreat Green Wallproject to fight desertification in the Sahel region. This is especially important as the population in the area is expected to double over the next 30 years. Corbis / Getty Images The aim is to plant 1...
have lost their lives in floods. In addition to this many millions more have died as a result of famine and disease. We should also not forget in many of the world’s countries(37), chronic water shortage, is a fact of life, especially in the African Sahel region(38)the Sahara desert...
is an intrinsic asset of those landscapes under consideration, contributing to biodiversity and resource management, to the use and processing of agricultural, forestry, and fishery products, to climate change mitigation and adaptation, to environmental education, to communication, and to the governance ...
the key mechanisms responsible for desertification, thereby leading to more effective responses. This approach is crucial because of the severity of the desertification problems that China faces and the large sums of money being spent to solve these problems. In the present study, we used the ...
The Sahel (−5.7 W/m2), Western/Eastern Africa (−6.6 W/m2), and South Asia (−14.1 W/m2) are where the most significant reduction of downwelling shortwave radiation is projected (Figures 6b and 6c). The Mediterranean (+3.7 W/m2), Northern Europe (+4.0 W/m2), and Eastern ...
From meteorological to hydrological drought in the Upper Niger Basin: trend and uncertainty analysis in the monitoring and the modeling of rainfall deficits and low flow responses From 1970 to 2002, the Sahel experienced a fairly abrupt, severe and continuous dry episode. The main reason is the ...
4. Functional Genomics of hPSCs as a Powerful Tool in the Study of Cardiomyogenesis The heart is the first fully functional organ formed during human embryonic development and is comprised of different cell types, including cardiomyocytes, cardiac fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells...
Hence, while many studies stress that the Sahel is greening, others indicate no trend or browning. The different generations of sensors, the granularity of studies, the study period, the applied indices and the assumptions and/or computational methods impact these trends. Consequently, many ...
