Wireless communication link designers are greatly concerned with design of links that are efficient and readily available. Wireless links operating at microwave and millimetre wave bands, especially in the tropics, are greatly affected during periods of intense rainstorms and hence measures need to be taken to counter these effects. Dynamic rain fade mitigation techniques such as adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) are commonly employed to improve on link performance. The knowledge of fade...

The likely effects of climate change on geographic distributions of African medicinal plants have not seen detailed analysis. We investigated likely effects of future climate change processes on suitable geographic areas for an important medicinal plant resource, Alstonia boonei De Wild. We characterized the potential geographic distribution of the species by means of ecological niche models based on primary biodiversity data and interpolated climate data from the WorldClim archive. Results...
