“I just kept quiet”: Exploring equity in a service-learning programme
(International Association for Research on Service-Learning and Community Engagement (IARSLCE), 2016)
Social justice underpins the sustainable development goal of health for all. In developing countries, social
injustices are particularly severe and widespread, demanding critical and immediate attention. This article
describes ...
Informal land sale and housing in the periphery of Pointe-Noire
(GIGA German Institute of Global and Area Studies, 2016)
This article examines the relations between practices in informal
land transactions under customary tenure and spatial differentiation
among suburbs in the periphery of the city of Pointe-Noire, Congo-
Brazzaville. Urban ...
A review of the underlying factors influencing female genital mutilation in Africa
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is a re-occurring decimal in Africa. This phenomenon is estimated to occur in over twenty-five (25) countries in Africa. It is further estimated that FGM has been performed on nearly two ...
Effect of spatial configuration of an extended nonlinear Kierstead-Slobodkin reaction-transport model with adaptive numerical scheme
(SpringerOpen, 2016)
In this paper, we consider the numerical simulations of an extended nonlinear form
of Kierstead-Slobodkin reaction-transport system in one and two dimensions. We
employ the popular fourth-order exponential time differencing ...
Bioaccumulation of total mercury in the earthworm Eisenia andrei
(SpringerOpen, 2016)
Earthworms are a major part of the total biomass of soil fauna and play a vital role
in soil maintenance. They process large amounts of plant and soil material and can
accumulate many pollutants that may be present in ...
Exploration of scaffolds from natural products with antiplasmodial activities, currently registered antimalarial drugs and public malarial screen data
(MDPI, 2016)
In light of current resistance to antimalarial drugs, there is a need to discover new classes
of antimalarial agents with unique mechanisms of action. Identification of unique scaffolds from
natural products with in vitro ...
Carbapenem resistance expressed by Gram-negative bacilli isolated from a cohort of Libyan patients
(BioMed Central, 2016)
Background and objectives: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and other Gram-negative bacteria are among the most common pathogens responsible for both community and hospital acquired infection. The global spread ...
Electrochemical Aptatoxisensor Responses on Nanocomposites containing electro-deposited silver nanoparticles on poly(propyleneimine) dendrimer for the detection of microcystin-lr in freshwater
(MDPI, 2016)
A sensitive and reagentless electrochemical aptatoxisensor was developed on cobalt (II)
salicylaldiimine metallodendrimer (SDD-Co(II)) doped with electro-synthesized silver nanoparticles
(AgNPs) for microcystin-LR (L, ...
Service-aware clustering: an energy-efficient model for the internet-of-things
(MDPI, 2016)
Current generation wireless sensor routing algorithms and protocols have been designed
based on a myopic routing approach, where the motes are assumed to have the same sensing and
communication capabilities. Myopic routing ...
Metaviromics of namib desert salt pans: a novel lineage of haloarchaeal salterproviruses and a rich source of ssDNA viruses
(MDPI, 2016)
Viral communities of two different salt pans located in the Namib Desert, Hosabes and Eisfeld, were investigated using a combination of multiple displacement amplification of metaviromic DNA and deep sequencing, and provided ...
