Drought will reduce global crop production by >10% in 2050 substantially worsening global malnutrition. Breeding for resistance to drought will require accessing crop genetic diversity found in the wild accessions from the driest high stress ecosystems. Genome-environment associations (GEA) in crop wild relatives reveal natural adaptation, and therefore can be used to identify adaptive variatio...

Electric load profiles of tropical, subtropical and some Mediterranean islands in developed countries are characterised by morning/midday and evening peaks arising from all year round (tropical) and summer (subtropical/mediterranean) high power demand in the commercial and residential sectors, due mostly to air conditioning appliances and bad thermal conception of the building. The work present...

The psychrometric chart is the most common data visualization technique for designers of thermal comfort systems worldwide. From its humble roots as means expressing characteristics air in building design, use has grown to include representation zones human according both conventional and adaptive models. In this paper, we present an extensive history development fallacies with representing sim...

growth chart is the best measure for weight monitoring of children. most factors that affect child heath show their effect on child weight. this cross sectional and descriptive analytical study was achieved to estimate malnutrition prevalence and effective factors in children under 5 years old in rural area of khoramabad province. 555 girls and 570 boys were chosen from health houses by cluster...

Environmental change in terms of land use and climatic changes are posing a serious threat to species distributions and extinctions. Thus in order to predict and mitigate against the effects of environmental change both drivers should be accounted for. Two endemic plant species in the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, Crocus cyprius and Ophrys kotschyi, were used as a case study. We have coupled ...
