The collision and interactions between counterflowing density currents frequently occur in nature and engineering practices along the coastal regions.However, the mechanisms and implications of these interactions remain an active research area.In this study, we developed a high-resolution numerical model to simulate the hydrodynamic characteristics
IntroductionThe recent coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak posed a global threat and quickly escalated to a pandemic.However, accurate information on potential relationships between SARS-CoV-2 shedding in body fluids, especially saliva, and white blood cell (WBC) count is limited.In the present study we investigated the potential correlation between al
Between the years 2008 and Guards 2013, six annual research expeditions were carried out at Dyer Island (Gansbaai, South Africa) to study the surface behaviour of white sharks in the presence of two passive prey: tuna bait and a seal-shaped decoy.Sightings were performed from a commercial cage-diving boat over 247 h; 250 different white sharks, wit

The type of aluminosilicate precursor used in the synthesis of geopolymer binders plays a huge role in the resulting performance.Thus, it is critical to understand the properties of precursors and how they influence the corresponding performance of geopolymer binders.In this study, metakaolin and meta halloysite are used as the aluminosilicate prec
