Inventories of fallout 210Pb and 137Cs radionuclides in moorland and woodland soils around Edinburgh urban area (UK)
(Elsevier, 2006)
Inventories of fallout 210Pb and 137Cs have been measured in moorland and woodland soils around the Edinburgh urban area, using a high purity germanium detector. The 210Pb inventories in moorland soils were relatively ...
Factors influencing ambient concentrations of 210Pb and 7Be over the city of Edinburgh (55.9°N, 03.2°W)
(Elsevier, 2006)
Concentrations of 210Pb and 7Be in air were continuously monitored, using a high-volume air sampler and a high-resolution gamma-ray spectrometer, during the period of July 2002 to June 2003 at the University of Edinburgh ...
The effects of vaccination and treatment on the spread of HIV/AIDS
(World Scientific Publishing, 2004)
This study investigates the effects of vaccination and treatment on the spread of HIV/AIDS. The objectives are (i) to derive conditions for the success of vaccination and treatment programs and (ii) to derive threshold ...
Significance of antiviral therapy and CTL-mediated immune response in containing hepatitis B and C virus infection.
(Elsevier B. V., 2021-01-12)
Viral infections remain a major cause of deaths globally. Here, we focus on Hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV and HCV) infection dynamics in the liver and blood cells, taking into account non-cytotoxic and cytotoxic mediated ...
Evaluation of three breeding cycles for seedling weight of switchgrass, big bluestem, and indiangrass.
(Crop Science Society of America, 2014-07-01)
A modified form of restricted, recurrent phenotypic selection was used to select for seedling shoot weight in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii Vitman), and indiangrass [Sorghastrum nutans ...
Preliminary investigation of transfer of metals from soil to vegetables: Case study of Spinacia oleracea L.
(Academic Journals, 2016-09)
The objective of the study was to measure concentrations of Cu, Ni and Zn in Spinacia oleracea cultivated at a site near the copper and nickel mine in Selebi Phikwe. The mean concentrations (in dry matter-basis) of Cu, Zn ...
Ethnozoological Survey of the Indigenous Knowledge on the Use of Pangolins (Manis Sps) in Traditional Medicine in Lentsweletau Extended Area in Botswana.
(Researchgate, 2014-06-30)
Animals have played an important role in human life from prehistory. Many animals are used in zootherapy worldwide. However, the zootherapeutic practices by some communities are not well documented and may be forgotten. ...
A novel pentacyclic triterpene glycoside from a resin of Commiphora glandulosa from Botswana
(African Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2010)
A novel ursane-type pentacyclic triterpene glycoside, 1β,2β,3β-trihydoxy-urs-12-ene-23-oic-rhamnoside was isolated from the resin of Commiphora glandulosa Schinz by bioassay guided fractionation. Crude aqueous and chloroform ...
Seed dispersal by serrated tortoises (Psammobates Oculiferus) and the effect of their gut passage on seed germination.
(Researchgate, 2014-10-27)
Some tortoises are frugivores and can disperse seeds away from the parent plant to areas favourable for their establishments through gut passage. We investigated the plant species dispersed by the serrated tortoise ...
Deposition rates of atmospheric particulates determined from 210Pb measurements in soils and air
(HARD Publishing, 2010)
Deposition rates of atmospheric particles were determined using previously published
210Pb data in soils and air. The dry deposition velocities for moorland and woodland soils
were 2.2±1.8 and 9±2 mm• s-1, respectively. ...
