Greenhouse commercial horticulture in Kenya started more than two decades ago and has evolved to be a significant sector to the national economy. So far no studies have explored the spatial patterns and dynamics of the area under greenhouse cultivation. Google Earth archives alongside data from various portals provided an opportunity to study those farms’ spatial distribution. The roles of sele...

Food Security Context: Complex Patterns of Climate, Climate Change, and Livelihoods Most rural people live in the highlands and middle-highlands, which comprise only one-third of the country, and this population tends to be concentrated primarily in Oromia or northern SNNPR. The seasonality of rainfall varies in different areas of Ethiopia. In the eastern Somali region, rains come twice a year–...

OBJECTIVE To investigate risk factors, including reported net use, for Plasmodium infection and anaemia among school children and to explore variations in effects across different malaria ecologies occurring in Kenya. METHODS This study analysed data for 49 975 school children in 480 schools surveyed during a national school malaria survey, 2008-2010. Mixed effects logistic regression was use...

BACKGROUND The highlands of Madagascar present an unstable transmission pattern of malaria. The population has no immunity, and the central highlands have been the sites of epidemics with particularly high fatality. The most recent epidemic occurred in the 1980s, and caused about 30,000 deaths. The fight against malaria epidemics in the highlands has been based on indoor insecticide spraying to...

Total factor productivity growth (TFPG) is an important indicator evaluating the enterprise development model. The aim of this study to consider imbalance between TFPG and enterprises patterns sectors regions in Vietnam. results panel data analysis 2005–2018 show that Vietnamese mainly due increased capital, especially non-state sector Red River Delta. (TFP) was found be present inward foreign ...

Abstract Landslide is one of the common natural disasters experience in central highlands Sri Lanka. Even though landslide risk predominates highlands, urbanization has been increasing within last three to four decades this region. This study focused classify hazard Hantana mountain and its vicinity Kandy district which belong highlands. Initially a base map area was prepared using 1:10,000 top...

Climatic changes during the Pleistocene were responsible for dramatic redistributions of plant species worldwide. On rugged southern hemisphere island Tasmania, temperature increases following last glaciation saw upslope migration climatically suitable from lowland refugia and expansion eucalypt-dominated forests woodlands in Central Highlands. We integrate multiple lines evidence (chloroplast ...

The present study assesses spatio-temporal rainfall variability of the most highlands to coastal zones, comprising eight provinces, PNG. investigation was carried out over for a period 50 years starting from year 1968 2018. After testing and checking serial autocorrelation in data series, Mann-Kendal non-parametric statistical evaluation investigate trends variability. Sen’s method also used ma...

This genre filled with fictional, beautiful colors; its language has rhymes, and rhythms, describing heroic feats labor combat; monumental majestic images major events taking place life community. comprehensively reflects economic, social customs people. It, simultaneously, expresses desire nati...

Based on lithological, structural and geophysical characteristics, the Proterozoic Grenville Orogen of southern Ontario and New York has been divided into domains that are separated from each other by ductile shear zones. In order to constrain the timing of metamorphism, U-Pb ages were determined on metamorphic and igneous sphenes from marbles, calc-silicate gneisses, amphibolites, granitoids, ...
