16 DART EB is a model that is being developed for simulating 17 the 3D (3 dimensional) energy budget of urban and natural 18 scenes, possibly with topography and atmosphere. It simu19 lates all non radiative energy mechanisms (heat conduction, 20 turbulent momentum and heat fluxes, water reservoir evo21 lution, etc.). It uses DART model (Discrete Anisotropic 22 Radiative Transfer) for simulatin...

The Global Program to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis (GPELF) advocates for the treatment of entire endemic communities, in order to achieve its elimination targets. LF is predominantly a rural disease, and achieving the required treatment coverage in these areas is much easier compared to urban areas that are more complex. In Ghana, parts of the Greater Accra Region with Accra as the capital ci...
