Water use by a warm-temperate deciduous forest under the influence of the Asian monsoon: contributions of the overstory and understory to forest water use
(Elsevier, 2013)
The warm temperate deciduous forests in Asia have a relatively dense understory, hence, it is imperative that we understand the dynamics of transpiration in both the overstory (E O) and understory (E U) of forest stands ...
Changes in forest soil properties in different successional stages in lower tropical China
(Plosone.org, 2013)
Background: Natural forest succession often affects soil physical and chemical properties. Selected physical and chemical soil properties were studied in an old-growth forest across a forest successional series in Dinghushan ...
Functional convergence in water use of trees from different geographical regions: a meta-analysis
(Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2013-06)
Functional convergence in water use of trees across species from diverse geographic locations was examined using data on tree water use parameters, with the intention of gaining an understanding on the capacity for water ...
Malaria Transmission after Artemether-Lumefantrine and Dihydroartemisinin-Piperaquine: A Randomized Trial
(The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2013-03-06)
Artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) reduces the potential for malaria transmission
compared with non-ACTs. It is unclear whether this effect differs between ACTs.
Methods. A total of 298 children (age, 6 months ...
Residual Plasmodium falciparum Parasitemia in Kenyan Children After Artemisinin- Combination Therapy Is Associated With Increased Transmission to Mosquitoes and Parasite Recurrence
(The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2013-08-14)
Parasite clearance time after artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) may be increasing in
Asian and African settings. The association between parasite clearance following ACT and transmissibility is currently unknown. ...
Estimation of market volatility-A case of logistic brownian motion
(International Journals of Marketing and Technology, 6/29/2013)
In this paper, we have used the Dupire's equation to derive the volatility model when the asset price follows logistic Brownian motion. We have used the analysis of Brownian motion, logistic Brownian motion, derivation of ...
Finite element approach to the solution of fourth order beam equation
(IJESM, 2013-06)
Finite element method is a class of mathematical tool which approximates solutions to initial and boundary value problems. Finite element, basic functions, stiffness matrices, systems of ordinary differential equations and ...
Derivation and solution of the heat equation in 1-D
(International Journal of Engineering, Science and Mathematics, 2013)
Heat flows in the direction of decreasing temperature, that is, from hot to cool. In this paper we derive the heat equation and consider the flow of heat along a metal rod. The rod allows us to consider the temperature, ...
Mathematical modelling of HIV infection
(IJMA, 2013)
We formulate a deterministic mathematical model for the HIV/AIDS.
Comparison of the ratio estimate to the local linear polynomial estimate of finite population totals
(IJESM, 2013-03)
In this paper, attempt to study effects of extreme observations on two estimators of finite population total theoretically and by simulation is made. We compare the ratio estimate with the local linear polynomial estimate ...
