Growing interest had been focused on the involvement of the small airways in asthma, and impulse oscillometry (IOS) has been utilized as pulmonary functions for detecting large and small airways diseases separately.IOS can measure respiratory resistance and reactance at multiple frequencies, not available by spirometry or body Metal Garden Stake pl

Bat dynamics modelling as a tool for conservation management in subterranean environments.
Bat species inhabit subterranean environments (e.g., caves and mines) in small areas with specific microclimatic conditions, during various periods of their life cycle.Bats can be negatively influenced by microclimatic changes within their roosts if optimal habitat patches become unavailable.Therefore, proper management solutions must be applied fo
