Dynamics for a non-autonomous fall armyworm-maize interaction model with a saturation functional response
(AIMS Press, 2021-11-09)
In this study, we present a non-autonomous model with a Holling type II functional response, to study the complex dynamics for fall armyworm-maize biomass interacting in a periodic environment. Understanding how seasonal ...
Effects of chemical preservatives and water quality on postharvest keeping quality of cut Lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum L)
(Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural resources, 2013)
This study was carried out to investigate effects of various chemicals added to vase solutions and also effects of water quality on the post-harvest physiology of Lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum L.) cut stems. The vase ...
A Mathematical Model of Contact Tracing during the 2014–2016 West African Ebola Outbreak.
(MDPI Open Access Journals, 2021-03-12)
The 2014–2016 West African outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) was the largest and most deadly to date. Contact tracing, following up those who may have been infected through contact with an infected individual to prevent ...
Effects of Broiler Breeders’ Age on Egg Quality Characteristics and Their Correlation Coefficients.
(Scienceline Publishers, 2021-09-25)
The current study was designed to assess the effect of Ross breeder hens’ age on the egg qualities and their correlations. The external and internal qualities of eggs were compared, and their correlation coefficients as ...
The challenges of Ilaje youth in combining education with artisanal fishing in Ondo State, Nigeria.
(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 ...
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 ± ...
Quadratic sequences in Pythagorean triples
(American Institute of Physics, 2022-06-16)
Using the Euclid's formula, we obtain an alternative formula for generating Pythagorean triples, both primitive and non-primitive. It easy to classify Pythagorean triples using this formula based on the divisibility of the ...
