Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) of crosslinked avocado seed starch and carboxymethyl cellulose were synthesized and their performance as fluid absorption materials was assessed by comparing them with those made from analytical ...

The study sought to establish trends in spatial distribution of the invasive plants, Acacia mearnsii (black wattle) and Pinus spp (pines) and assess their impact on primary production in Nyanga National Park, Zimbabwe, ...

This study focused on assessing the impacts of artisanal small-scale gold activities on the environmental governance of the Mazowe catchment. A representative sample of 32 respondents was selected from three sites with the ...

Determination of platinum group metals (PGMs) and gold also known as precious metals is always a very difficult task, this is due to their availability in trace amounts in sample types of complex composition. Little research ...

This work presented here is the solution of one-dimensional Bratu’s problem. The major aim of this research is to master the techniques used to solve the Bratu problem. The nonlinear Bratu’s problem is first linearised ...

The ground state energy 𝐸 0(𝜆) of 𝐻 𝜆 = − 𝑑 2 /𝑑𝑥 2 − 𝜆 𝑒 −𝑥2 is computed for small values of 𝜆 by means of an approximation of an integral operator in momentum space. Such an approximation leads to a transcendental ...

In this study we modeled wet and dry season habitat selection of the Southern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium Simum Simum) in Matopos National Park. We tested whether wet and dry season habitat selection was influenced by ...

The main aim of this project was to perform an investigation on the possible impact of Triangle limited stillage on Cheche and Mtilikwe river water quality. This was done by measuring physico- chemical parameters and ...

Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are among the major constraints in commercial fruit production in many developing African countries. Due to their economic importance, knowledge of the tephritid fruit fly spectrum ...

Fire poses a continuous threat to forest ecosystems and can dramatically reduce valuable timber species in forest woodland areas. The occurrence of fire in Baikiaea plurijuga woodlands warrants the need of an active and ...
