Modelling the effect of global warming on the prevalence of schistosomiasis
One of the potential health consequences of global warming is a (re-)introduction of vector-borne diseases into certain regions which may, or may not have been, previously endemic. In most tropical…
AQUA: A framework for integrated water policy analysis
In order to design water policy as part of a strategy for sustainable development, an insight into the dynamics of the water system is necessary but not sufficient. It is hypothesized that…
HEATHSOL: sensitivity/uncertainty analysis and validation
A sensitivity analysis, a restricted uncertainty analysis and a validation of a model describing competition between a heather and grass species (HEATHSOL), was carried out.
