(Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural resources, 2013)
The study examined how Ilajes in-school youth entrepreneurs combined their education with fishing activities in Ondo State. It examined their personal characteristics, period of involvement and educational activities. ...
Condensed tannins from Botswanan forage plants are effective priming agents of γδ T cells in ruminants.
(Elsevier, 2012-03-05)
The potential impact of extracts from forage plants on y8 T cell activity in ruminants was evaluated using an in vitro immunoassay. This study investigated whether plant extracts could prime y8 T cells via up-regulation ...
Wildfires in Botswana and Their Frequency of Occurrence
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2021-09-13)
Fires play an essential part in the maintenance of the environment, but am-
plified fire activity often leads to adverse effects in the environment such as
destruction of property and loss of life. Botswana has experienced ...
Changes in Health-related Parameters Associated with Sports Performance Enhancement Drugs.
(Thieme Gruppe, 2022-12-02)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in health-related parameters caused by the administration of anabolic-androgenic steroids and fat-burning drugs during a 6-month competition preparation period. The ...
A fractional-order Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense model with vector saturation and temperature dependent parameters.
(Springer Open, 2020-06-11)
Temperature is one of the integral environmental drivers that strongly affect the distribution and density of tsetse fly population. Precisely, ectotherm performance measures, such as development rate, survival probability ...
Evaluation of two Non-Edible, Wild Indigenous Botswana Crops (Croton megalobotrys (Motsebi/Letsebi/Moshoole) and Ricinus communis (Mokhure)) as Potential Feedstocks for Petroleum and Cosmetic Industries
(EAST AFRICAN NATURE & SCIENCE ORGANIZATION, 2021-12-07)
Croton megalobotrys and Ricinus cummunis plants produce high-quality nonedible seed oils at relatively high quantities of 39.65 ± 0.06 % w/w to 53.74 ± 0.04 % w/w. The Iodine values of 85.97 ± 1.62 g I2/100 g to 96.51 ± ...
Responses of leaf parameters of Arabidopsis thaliana ecotypes to change in CO2 concentrations.
(Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural resources, 2013)
An increase in anthropogenic generation of carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the characteristic features of global climate change. How plants respond to this change has critical implications for the performance of both natural ...
Unlocking the potential of smallholder dairy farm: Evidence from the central highland of Ethiopia.
(Elsevier, 2022-12-01)
Sustainable livestock farming practices have the potential to improve productivity and high income, reduce greenhouse gases, and improve household food security. Despite previous efforts to disseminate these technologies, ...
On Unit Groups of Completely Primary Finite Rings
(The Berkeley Electronic Press (bepress), 2008-01)
Let R be a commutative completely primary finite ring with the unique maximal ideal J such that J3 = (0) and J2 6= (0): Then R⁄J ∼= GF(pr) and the characteristic of R is pk, where 1 ≤ k ≤ 3, for some prime p and positive ...
Smallholder agriculture in African dryland agroecosystems has limited impact on trophic group composition, but affects arthropod provision of ecosystem services.
(Elsevier B.V., 2024-04-01)
Agricultural intensification is a major driver of biodiversity loss, but the majority of studies highlighting these threats come from industrialised agriculture in temperate countries of the global North. However, more ...
