The consequences of climate change are becoming increasingly evident in the Tibetan Plateau, represented by glaciers retreating and lakes expanding, but the biological response to climate change by plateau-lake ecosystems is poorly known. In this study, we applied dendrochronology methods to develop a growth index chronology with otolith increment widths of Selincuo naked carp (Gymnocypris seli...

BACKGROUND Postural control deficits can impair functional performance in children with cerebral palsy (CP) in daily living activities. OBJECTIVE To verify the relationship between standing static postural control and the functional ability level in children with CP. METHOD The postural control of 10 children with CP (gross motor function levels I and II) was evaluated during static standin...

Problem statement: The inter-area power systems have special characteristic of the stability behavior. The improvement of inter-area power system is one of the important aspects in power system. Approach: This study applies the Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) to improve stability of inter-area systems. The SSSC is modeled and then is applied to be incorporated into the power system...

An extensive amount of data from the World Ocean Database (WOD) that covers southern South China Sea (SSCS) were analysed to study long-term trends and variations El-Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) event. The WOD selected 1951 2010, which included area within 0–10 °N 100–117 °E. La-Nina anomaly results showed sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTa) trend SSCS was higher during offset-El-Nino ...

A field experiment was conducted to assess the optimum inter- and intra-row spacing on growth, yield and yield component of Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) in 2014/15 cropping season at Wondo Genet Agricultural Research Center experimental site (at Wondo Genet station). Two inter-row spacing (60 and 90 cm) and three intra-row spacing (30, 60 and 90 cm) were evaluated using two varieties, WG-Hi...
