Soil moisture is the vital component of the hydrological cycle and its variability is largely uncertain in the upcoming decades. In this paper the future projections of soil moisture changes over South Asia have been analyzed on both annual and seasonal basis from 2020-2050. The comparison of 24 CMIP5 (Coupled Model Inter comparison Project Phase 5) models with GLDAS (Global Lad Data Assimilati...

In this paper, using idealized climate model simulations, we investigate the biogeophysical effects of large-scale deforestation on monsoon regions. We find that the remote forcing from large-scale deforestation in the northern middle and high latitudes shifts the Intertropical Convergence Zone southward. This results in a significant decrease in precipitation in the Northern Hemisphere monsoon...

In this paper we describe the mutual benefits of the bi-directional flows of knowledge and skills from North-South/South-North linkages, on the basis of our personal experiences of clinical and research collaborations between the UK and South Asia.

Partial 1D gene characterization was used to study phylogenetic relationships between 17 serotype O foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) viruses in Ethiopia as well as with other O-type isolates from Eritrea, Kenya, South and West Africa, the Middle East, Asia and South America. A homologous region of 495 bp corresponding to the C-terminus end of the 1D gene was used for phylogenetic analysis. This stu...
