On Groups which are Products of Weakly Totally Permutable Subgroups
(2014-04-24)
This work is a contribution to the theory of products of finite groups. A group G = AB is a
weakly totally permutable product of subgroups A and B if every subgroup, U of A such that
U ≤ A ∩ B or A ∩ B ≤ U, permutes with ...
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Black Zimbabweans - Metabolic Factors and Molecular Genetics.
(2012-08-29)
Objectives: The main objectives of the study were (i) to determine the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome disorders, (ii) to determine the frequency, of ApoE gene polymorphism at codons 112 and 158, of the ACE gene 287-bp ...
Using Genetic Engineering Algorithm to Prevent Subversion of an Intrusion Detection System
(2012-08-29)
Intruders mercilessly attack commercial, academic, defence; healthy centers distributed (networked) systems frequently, and often successfully. The challenges of intruders have become very critical. The most perceived ...
Effects of human disturbance on the distribution of native and exotic Species: A study based on evidence from three sites in Zimbabwe
(University of Zimbabwe, 2016-10)
The understanding of factors driving plant invasions in African Savannas which is pivotal
for their management is currently poor. Therefore, this study tested several hypotheses that link human disturbance to species ...

(High Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (ISMM), 2010-12)
This study presents a semi-quantitative mineralogical evaluation of the non-nickeliferous weathering crusts in the areas of Baconal, El Culebro, Caimanes and Farallones in the northeast of Cuba. The main objective of
this ...
Monitoring the simultaneous response of various water status indicators for use in the irrigation scheduling and drought stress detection of a greenhouse tomato crop.
(2012-09-07)
An experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at the Department of Biological Sciences, University of Zimbabwe to test the use of various plant water status indicators for use in the irrigation scheduling and water stress ...
Modelling the spatial pattern of forest fires using NDVI and land surface temperature in Southern African landscapes
(2014-10-07)
In this study we used maxent to test whether; and for which month of the growing season
SPOT derived normalized difference vegetation index (SPOT NDVI) data can be used to
predict fire occurrence in August, September and ...
Screening for the effects of selected Zimbabwean plant extracts on enzymes and processes involved in pain and inflammation.
(2016-04)
Inflammation is a complex process that is mediated by signalling radicals and prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced by conversion of arachidonic acid by cyclooxygenase (COX) isoenzymes. Selective inhibition of ...
Population Structure and Patterns of Regeneration of Zambezi Teak (Baikiaea Plurijuga) Logged at Different Periods in Gwai Forest, Zimbabwe.
(2012-08-29)
Prudent management of natural forests requires information on their ecological status that can be estimated by monitoring population structure and regeneration especially in the presence of exploitation such as logging. A ...
