INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE AND COMMUNITY-BASED RISK ASSESSMENT OF CLIMATE CHANGE AMONG THE FULANI HERDER COMMUNITY OF KPONGU, NORTH-WESTERN GHANA

Indigenous knowledge and community-based risk assessment of climate change among the Fulani Herder Community of Kpongu, North-Western Ghana

Given rising concerns about climate change and development in Africa, this paper draws on Community Risk Assessment for mapping jerome brown jersey the risks of Fulani Herders to climate change in North-Western Ghana.Herder communities are seldom explored in climate change related studies although their livelihoods largely depend on the natural env

Performance of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo and No-U-Turn Sampler for estimating genetic parameters and breeding values

Abstract Background Hamiltonian Monte Carlo is one of the algorithms of the Markov chain Monte Carlo method that uses Hamiltonian dynamics to propose samples that follow a target distribution.The method can avoid the random walk behavior to achieve a more effective and consistent exploration of the probability space and sensitivity to correlated pa

Application of GC/MS Pyrolysis for Assessment Residues of Textile Composites after Filtration of Washing and Rinsing Effluents

Research on the sources of microplastics (MP) in the environment and the parameters that lead to the loss of microfibers from synthetic textiles during washing have recently attracted public attention.Considering the involvement of a variety of structural and process parameters, it is important to choose methods for quantifying fibers as MP polluta
