EVALUATION OF THREE GRIDDED POTENTIAL EVAPOTRANSPIRATION DATASETS FOR STREAMFLOW SIMULATION IN THREE INLAND RIVER BASINS IN THE ARID HEXI CORRIDOR, NORTHWEST CHINA

Evaluation of three gridded potential evapotranspiration datasets for streamflow simulation in three inland river basins in the arid Hexi Corridor, Northwest China

Study region: This study focuses on three data-limited inland river basins in the arid Hexi Corridor, Northwest China.Study focus: The lack of ground-based observation data for estimating potential evapotranspiration (PET) usually limits the streamflow simulation.This study explored the feasibility of using three gridded PET datasets (GLDAS, GLEAM,

Metformin as adjunctive therapy in combination with multidrug treatment for multibacillary leprosy: A protocol for a randomized double-blind, controlled Phase 2 trial in Indonesia (MetLep Trial) [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]

Background The clinical management of leprosy is complicated by leprosy reactions (LR) causing irreversible nerve damage and disabilities.LR often require long-term use of corticosteroids causing serious side effects.Adjunct host-directed therapy (HDT) is a potentially attractive strategy in leprosy to prevent LR MENS T-SHIRTS and associated immuno
