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 ...
Accumulation of potentially harmful elements in edible parts of vegetables grown on two different geological substrates in Zimbabwe.
(Elsevier, 2019-09-12)
This study investigated the bioaccumulation of potentially harmful elements (PHEs) in common, locally grown vegetables in Zimbabwean farmlands. The aim of the study was to compare PHE accumulation in vegetables grown on ...
Differential magnetometer method applied to measurement of geomagnetically induced currents in Southern African power networks
(AGU Publications, 2016-03-18)
Geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) in conductors connected to the Earth are driven by an electric field produced by a time-varying magnetic field linked to magnetospheric-ionospheric current perturbations during ...
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 ...
Upper Bounds on the Diameter of Bipartite and Triangle-Free Graphs with Prescribed Edge Connectivity
(HINDAWI, 2020-09-03)
Graph theory is used to study the mathematical structures of pairwise relations among objects. Mathematically, a pair G=(V,E) is a crisp graph, where V is a nonempty set and E is a relation on V[1]. -e order of a graph G ...
Assessing the role of climate change in Malaria transmission in Africa.
(HINDAWI, 2016-02-23)
The sensitivity of vector borne diseases like malaria to climate continues to raise considerable concern over the implications of climate change on future disease dynamics. The problem of malaria vectors shifting from their ...
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 ...
Assessing the impact of drug resistance on the transmission dynamics of Typhoid fever.
(Hindawi, 2013-05-20)
Typhoid fever continues to be a major public health problem in the developing world. Antibiotic therapy has been the main stay of treating typhoid fever for decades. The emergence of drug-resistant typhoid strain in the ...
Modelling gender differences in drug abuse epidemics.
(Springer, 2018-01-11)
Drug abuse is an issue of considerable concern due to its association with numerous public health problems. Mathematical models developed to describe the spread of drug abuse have generally assumed that the dynamics of ...
An Upper Bound on the Radius of a 3-Vertex-Connected C4-Free Graph
(HINDAWI, 2020-08-04)
Let G=(V,E) be a finite, connected, undirected graph with vertex set V and edge set E. -e distance dG (u,v) between two vertices u, v of G is the length of a shortest u-v path in G.-e eccentricity ec(v)of a vertex v∈V is ...
