Lianas are a quintessential tropical plant growth-form; they are speciose and abundant in tropical forests worldwide.Lianas compete Admin Fee intensely with trees, reducing nearly all aspects of tree performance.However, the negative effects of lianas on trees have never been combined and quantified for multiple tropical forests.Here, we present th
Surface displacement measurements collected using continuous Global Positioning System (cGPS) stations include the contribution of both endogenic processes (e.g., plate Beauty tectonics, isostasy) and exogenic processes that show seasonal variation (e.g., climate).These seasonal variations distort the tectonic signals and limit the usefulness of sh
The paper concerns numerical analysis of thermal phenomena occurring in the butt welding of two different materials by a laser beam welding.The temperature Wet Bags distribution for the welded butt-joint is obtained on the basis of numerical simulations performed in the ABAQUS program.Numerical analysis takes into account the thermophysical propert
The genus Macaranga comprises about 300 species worldwide and is commonly distributed in the tropical region of Africa, Southeast Asia, China and India.The plant of this genus was reported to possess various medicinal properties which have been traditionally used to treat various illnesses such as fungal infection, malaria, stomachache, and diarrho
