Climate change can have an adverse effect on agricultural productivity and water availability in semi-arid regions, as changes in surface water availability lead to groundwater depletion and resultant losses in crop yield. These inter-relationships necessitate an integrated management approach for surface water, groundwater, and crop yield as a…[Read more]

This paper studies the convective heat transfer of a hybrid nanofluid in the inclined channel, whose walls are both heated by the uniform heat flux. The governing ordinary differential equations are made nondimensional and solved analytically, in which explicit distributions of velocity, temperature and pressure are obtained. The effects of flow…[Read more]

DHT treatment increased body weight, fat and lean mass, and fasting glucose. Ace2 mRNA was upregulated in the lung, cecum, heart, and kidney, while downregulated in the brain by DHT. ACE2 protein was upregulated by DHT in the small intestine, heart, and kidney. The SARS-CoV-2 priming proteases Tmprss2, Cathepsin L, and Furin mRNA were upregulated…[Read more]
