An oscillatory flow in human lung was investigated with a real scale model channel experimentally.One objective of the present study is to clarify the gas exchange mechanism in the peripheral channel, e.g.from the 18-th to 20-th generations, which are the leading region of gas exchanges.The second object is the inspection of the flow convection und

It is widely recognized in science, policy, and practice that protected areas (PAs) that are equitably and effectively managed are essential for halting biodiversity loss.However, our understanding of the relationships between management effectiveness and equity remains weak.Here, we investigate potential synergies and trade-offs between management
Introduction: Parent materials as one of the main soil formation factors have a great impact on the concentration of heavy metals in the soil.Heavy metals are released to the soil during weathering and pedogenic processes.Ultrabasic rocks are known as the potential natural source of heavy metals, especially Ni, Cr and Mn in the soil.Average concent
