Development and characterization of food products from Parinari curatellifolia (Hacha or Chakata) fruit
(University of Zimbabwe, 2015-11)
Parinari curatellifolia fruit is consumed in its raw state or processed into food products in
rural areas during periods of food shortage. The purpose of the study was to determine the
physico-chemical properties of ...
Modeling geomagnetically induced currents in the South African power transmission network using the finite element method.
(AGU Publications, 2015-03-24)
Geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) are a result of time variations of the geomagnetic field,which induce a geoelectric field at the Earth’s surface. Geomagnetic perturbations are enhanced during adverse space weather ...
Transmission dynamics of schistosomiasis in Zimbabwe: A mathematical and GIS approach.
(Elsevier, 2015-11-15)
Temperature and presence of water bodies are known to influence the transmission dynamics of schistosomiasis. In this work, effects of water bodies (taken in context of rainfall patterns)and temperature from 1950 to 2000 ...
The Gutman Index and the Edge-Wiener Index of Graphs with given Vertex-Connectivity
(University of Zielona Góra, 2015-12-30)
The Gutman index and the edge-Wiener index have been extensively investigated particularly in the last decade. An important stream of re- search on graph indices is to bound indices in terms of the order and other parameters ...
Fluids and gold mineralisation in the late Archaean Harare Greenstone Belt, Zimbabwe
(2015-08-25)
The study of selected gold deposits (i.e. Venus, Gladstone, Ceylon, Mashona Kop, Graham Nigel, Chigimira and Viking) in the late Archaean Harare Greenstone Belt (IIGB) has revealed the presence of more than one fluid ...
Group 2 Innate Lymphoid Cell Proportions Are Diminished in Young Helminth Infected Children and Restored by Curative Antihelminthic Treatment
(PLoS, 2015-03-20)
Group 2 Innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are innate cells that produce the TH2 cytokines IL-5 and IL-13. The importance of these cells has recently been demonstrated in experimental models of parasitic diseases but there is ...
Average distance and edge-connectivity I
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2015-01-15)
The average distance $\mu(G)$ of a connected graph G of order n is the average of the distances between all pairs of vertices of G. We prove that if G is a $\lambda$-edge-connected graph of order n, then the bounds $\mu(G) ...
Identifying and evaluating field indicators of Urogenital Schistosomiasis-related morbidity in preschool-aged children
(PLOS, 2015-03-20)
Several studies have been conducted quantifying the impact of schistosome infections on health and development in school-aged children. In contrast, relatively little is known about morbidity levels in preschool-aged ...
