Leishmaniosis comprises a variety of syndromes caused by members of the protozoan parasite Leishmania (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae), which are transmitted to mammal hosts by the bite of infected phlebotomine sand flies belonging to the genera Phlebotomus and Lutzomyia. The epidemiology and clinical manifestations of the diseases are largely diverse, usually grouped into zoonotic leishmanioses and anthroponotic leishmanioses.

CAS No. 6484-52-2. A product obtained by neutralizing nitric acid with ammonia. Formula: NH4NO3. It is usually in a granular or prilled form, and coated with a suitable material to prevent absorption of moisture and caking in storage. Fertilizer-grade ammonium nitrate has a total N content of 33–34.5 percent, of which 50 percent is present as ammoniacal-N and 50 percent as nitrate-N. It leaves behind an acidic effect in the soil.

A condition whose symptoms may include heavy sweating and a rapid pulse, a result of your body overheating. Causes of heat exhaustion include exposure to high temperatures, particularly when combined with high humidity, and strenuous physical activity. Without prompt treatment, heat exhaustion can lead to heatstroke, a life-threatening condition. (UNTERM)
Heat transfer is the process where the form energy is exhibited in the form of heat and be transferred from one medium/system to another due to the exist of temperature difference. (Mo, John & Cheung, Sherman & Das, Raj. (2019). Steady-State Heat Conduction Systems. 10.1016/B978-0-08-100975-8.00004-7. )

Kinematics is the study of motion of a system of bodies without directly considering the forces or potential fields affecting the motion. In other words, kinematics examines how the momentum and energy are shared among interacting bodies. (Esam M.A. Hussein,

Mepiquat chloride is a plant growth regulator used exclusively on cotton. It is intended to increase yield by inhibiting gibberellic acid synthesis. (EPA. 1997. Mepiquat Chloride. EPA-738-F-96-019 https://www3.epa.gov/pesticides/chem_search/reg_actions/reregistration/fs_PC-109101_1-Mar-97.pdf)
Sneezing is one of the most fundamental airway reflexes, which is characterised by a deep preparatory inspiration followed by an abrupt increase in subglottic pressure reflecting a forceful, active expiration rather similar to coughing. Chemical or physical stimuli to the nasal mucosa may initiate potent respiratory and cardiovascular reflexes via stimulation of trigeminal nerves. Mild stimuli result in sneezing and nasal hypersecretion.
