Treatment of Tungiasis with Dimeticone: A Proof-of- Principle Study in Rural Kenya
(2014-07)
Tungiasis (sand flea disease) is a neglected tropical disease, prevalent in resource-poor communities in South America and sub-Saharan Africa. It is caused by an inflammatory response against penetrated female sand fleas ...
Natural Convection in a Rectangular Enclosure with Colliding Boundary Layers
(Journal of Applied Mathematics & Bioinformatics, 2014)
The movement of the fluid in natural convection results from the buoyancy forces imposed on the fluid when its density in the proximity of the heat transfer surface is decreased as a result of the heating process. The ...
