Contrasting indoor and ambient particulate matter concentrations and thermal comfort in coal and non-coal burning households at South Africa Highveld
(Elsevier, 2020)One of the key challenges noted in the sustainable development goals for good health and wellbeing (SDGs 3) is both ambient and household air pollution. Household solid fuel combustion represents one of the biggest threat ... -
Avian interspecific differences in VKOR activity and inhibition: insights from amino acid sequence and mRNA expression ratio of VKORC1 and VKORC1L1
(Elsevier, 2020)Worldwide use of anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) for rodents control has frequently led to secondary poisoning of non-target animals, especially raptors. In order to suggest some factors that may help considering the ... -
A note on the behaviour of a kernel-smoothed kernel density estimator
(Elsevier, 2020)Kernel density estimators have been studied in great detail. In this note a new family of kernels, depending on a parameter , is obtained by kernel-smoothing an initial kernel density estimator. Under certain conditions, ... -
