A Study of Heap Fermentation and Protein Enrichment of Cassava.
(2012-08-30)
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important source of carbohydrate for humans and animals, producing high energy of 610 kJ/100 g fresh root weight. However, it is very poor in protein (1 % fresh root weight) and ...
Atmospheric aerosol particles and transport: a climatological perspective for Zimbabwe
(2012-09-12)
Atmospheric aerosol particles were collected in the coarse (2-10 µm diameter) and fine (< 2 µm diameter) size fractions at Rukomechi research station, (16.1 °S, 29.4 °E, 500 m a.s.l.), northern Zimbabwe from September 1994 ...
The Macroinvertebrate Communities Of Two Upland Streams In Eastern Zimbabwe With Reference To The Impact Of Forestry
(2012-08-28)
Benthic macroinvertebrates and physico-chemical parameters of the water were examined from two fast flowing streams, the Nyahode River which drains a pine monoculture catchment and the Haruni River which drains an undisturbed ...
Modelling a low cost, data acquisition and irrigation sequencing system for a greenhouse on an 8 Bit PIC Microcontroller
(2012-08-29)
The debate on climate change is still going on and on, and there is still no convincing evidence that greenhouse gases are the real, real cause of the recent changes in climate patterns. Some records tend to suggest that ...
Designing a Quality of Service for mobile Ad Hoc Networks carrying multimedia traffic.
(2012-08-29)
Multimedia transmission over communication networks has been growing rapidly with respect to the number of users and the amount and type of traffic. Wireless communications are a fast emerging technology and have become ...
Population Dynamics of Marula, Sclerocarya birrea sub sp. caffra in Mwenezi, Zimbabwe
(2012-08-29)
This study, conducted in Ward 3, Mwenezi, determined the abundance, distribution and size structure of Marula, Sclerocarya birrea subsp. caffra. The relationship between incidence of debarked stems and size structure was ...
Maize Yield Forcasting in Malawi Using Satellite Data and a Soil Water Balance Modelling Aproach.
(2012-09-07)
The potential of using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and the AgroMetShell (AMS) to forecast and estimate maize yield at Rural Development Project (RDP) level in Malawi was investigated. NDVI is derived from ...

(2012-09-12)
A geophysical survey was carried out at Lorna Doone farm, a dairy farm located 40 km from the Harare city centre. The study area lies within the Harare – Bindura – Shamva greenstone belt. Rocks in the area include ...
Challenges for TFRC as a Real-Time Protocol Over Multihop Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
(2012-08-29)
Multihop wireless networks are emerging as a natural extension of the global Internet for scenarios where wired connections are unfeasible, impossible, or undesired. In these networks,nodes cooperate among themselves by ...
Modelling of Greenhouse Microclimate for Rose Production in Zimbabwe.
(2012-09-13)
The main objective of the project was to adapt and validate the Gembloux Dynamic Greenhouse Climate Model for the prediction and control of the microclimate of an operational greenhouse in Zimbabwe. The use of modelling ...
