We construct a new age-specific mortality framework and implement an exemplar (DLGC) that provides an excellent fit to data from various countries and across long time periods while also providing accurate mortality forecasts by projecting parameters with ARIMA models.The model parameters have clear and reasonable interpretations that, after fittin
Clarifying the flow characteristics in the settling tank is the foundation for the design optimization and efficiency improvement of sediment removal.However, Jeans few research works have been undertaken on the precise observation of the flow movement in the tank.For this purpose, research into an inclined-tube settling tank for the water-sediment
Abstract Background Tsetse flies and trypanosomiasis are among several factors that constrain livestock development in Tanzania.Over the years Rufiji District was excluded from livestock production owing to tsetse fly infestation, however, a few years ago there was an influx of livestock following evictions aimed at conserving the Usangu wetlands.M
We show the annual climatology of the diurnal cycle, stratified by opaque cloud, using the full hourly resolution of the Canadian Prairie data.The opaque cloud field itself has distinct cold and warm season diurnal climatologies; with a near-sunrise peak of cloud in the cold season and an early afternoon peak in the warm season.There are two primar
Plant growth and development exhibit plasticity, and plants can adapt to environmental changes and stress.Various phytohormones interact synergistically or antagonistically to regulate these responses.Melatonin and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) are widespread across plant kingdom.Melatonin, an important member of the neuroendocrine immune regulatory n
