Effects of dry needling and therapeutic exercise on sleep in individuals with chronic neck pain and sleep disturbance: A pilot randomized clinical trial
… both sleep dysfunction and pain together. Therefore, research that investigates the effects of non-pharmacological interventions not only on pain but also on sleep dysfunction is warranted. As dry needling (DN) has been shown to influence biochemical substances that are associated with both pain …

Forest fires and their effect on chemical and physical properties of soils in North-eastern-Libya. Assessment of the changes in soil chemical and physical properties of soils in North-eastern-Libya.
Forest areas are particularly susceptible to fires, which are often manmade. Too-frequent fires are likely to adversely affect the soil properties as well as vegetation composition, and possibly lead to soil erosion and desertification. One of the most fire affected forest regions in the world is …

Managing herbivory over space and time: consequences for vegetation and cattle responses in African rangelands
… rangelands remains unclear. Previous research on forms of rotational grazing management are criticized for being limited to small-scale experimental trials that make untested assumptions about the effect of grazing density on animal behaviour and neglect measurements of landscape-scale pattern and …
