Impact of interspecific competition on African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) in an ecosystem with artificial perennial water provision by Sandoval Serés, ME

“…Waterhole distance and density can work as surrogates on prey aggregation and abundance, which in turn these resources attract large dominant predators. …”

Quantifying the energy consumption of the water use cycle by Cardenes Trujillo, I

“…Finally, the thesis also shows that daily energy consumption can be reduced by up to 18% by optimally routing water through a water network. optimization of water networks, and that a change in discount rates could change the daily operating costs by 19%, that in turn leads to a resulting different set of optimal investment options in a water supply network.…”

Performance enhancement and size reduction of near-eye display by Cheng, Qijia

“…However, the utilization of eye-tracking and optical tiling adds a fairly amount of complexity to the NED system, which in turn makes the device even bulkier. Thus, a compact near-eye display device that can deliver excellent image quality is still in great demand by society. …”

Essays on development economics by Wang, Wen

“…We argue that this agricultural legacy helps explain variations in adoption of democratic institutions across countries via fostering the formation and transmission of a more collectivist culture, which in turn generates greater conformity pressures on political norms and detestation of institutional changes in society that hinder democratization. …”

Investigating the role of astrocytes in Parkinson's disease pathogenesis in GBA- N370S iPSC-derived neural cultures by Ibarra Aizpurua, N

“…Moreover, it is still to be determined whether the neuroinflammation found in PD patients has a causative effect in disease onset or is in turn a consequence of neurodegeneration. Similarly, the currently available data regarding the effects of α-synuclein in human astrocytes remains inconclusive. …”

Using density dependent approach for simulation and control of seawater intrusion into coastal aquifers by Saad Nusari, Mohammed Saleh

“…The experimental setup of the aquifer physical model provides a novel technique for simulating seawater intrusion based on density dependent approach. This in turn gives a better understanding of the actual mechanism of movement and mixing of fresh and saline water and the factors influencing these processes. …”
