COVID-19 cases are putting pressure on healthcare systems all around the world. Due to the lack of available testing kits, it is impractical for screening every patient with a respiratory ailment using traditional methods (RT-PCR). In addition, the tests have a high turn-around time and low sensitiv...

Samples for sediment and two species of native mangrove plants were collected from seven sampling sites for assessing the level of metal contamination. Results of the studied metals displayed the order of pollution as Fe > Ti > Zr > Rb > Zn > Sr > Pb > Y > Cu > Cr > As accordingly. Geoaccumulation i...

Vulnerability to natural hazards not only depends on the magnitude of the hazards but also on the socio-economic conditions of people. Considering vulnerability as a social construct, the social vulnerability index (SoVI) was introduced to measure the vulnerability of people across space. Very littl...
