Quantification of radicals generated in a sonicator
(Iranian Chemical Society, 2016)
The hydroxyl radical (OH•) is a powerful oxidant produced as a consequence of cavitation in water. It can react nonspecifically in
breaking down persistent organic pollutants in water into their mineral form. It can also ...
Seaweeds in two oceans: beta-diversity
(Frontiers Media, 2017)
Several species assembly mechanisms have been proposed to structure ecological
communities. We assess the biogeography of seaweeds along 2,900 km of South
Africa’s coastline in relation to a thermal gradient produced by ...
Possible aquaculture development in Nigeria: evidence for commercial prospects
(David Publishing, 2017)
The cultivation of desirable aquatic organisms is becoming increasingly important as one of the fastest-growing
agro-industrial activities in the world. Nigeria, over the years, practised traditional methods of aquaculture ...
Treatment of persistent organic pollutants in wastewater using hydrodynamic cavitation in synergy with advanced oxidation process
(Springer, 2017)
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are very tenacious wastewater contaminants. The consequences of their existence have been acknowledged for negatively affecting the ecosystem with specific impact upon endocrine disruption ...
Codes from adjacency matrices of uniform subset graphs
(Springer, 2017)
Studies of the p-ary codes from the adjacency matrices of uniform subset graphs Γ(n,k,r)Γ(n,k,r) and their reflexive associates have shown that a particular family of codes defined on the subsets are intimately related ...
An integrated and comparative approach towards identification, characterization and functional annotation of candidate genes for drought tolerance in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench)
(BioMed Central, 2017)
BACKGROUND: Drought is the most disastrous abiotic stress that severely affects agricultural productivity worldwide.
Understanding the biological basis of drought-regulated traits, requires identification and an in-depth ...
Molecular detection of tick-borne pathogen diversities in ticks from livestock and reptiles along the shores and adjacent islands of lake Victoria and lake Baringo, Kenya
(Frontiers Media, 2017)
Tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) are responsible for some of the
most serious emerging infectious diseases facing sub-Saharan
Africa (SSA) and the rest of the world today (1, 2). In Kenya,
TBPs (including viral diseases—arboviruses) ...
What if students could be transformational resources for pharmacy practice?
(Medpharm Publications, 2017)
The pharmacists’ role in the healthcare
system is expanding internationally
beyond the traditional roles of
compounding and medicine supply
management, to providing patientcentred
care and updating health care
workers ...
Improving photometric redshift estimation using GPz: size information, post processing and improved photometry
(Oxford University Press, 2017)
The next generation of large-scale imaging surveys (such as those conducted with the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope and Euclid) will require accurate photometric redshifts in order to optimally extract cosmological ...
Implicit-explicit predictor-corrector methods combined with improved spectral methods for pricing European style vanilla and exotic options
(Kent State University, 2013)
In this paper we present a robust numerical method to solve several types of European style option pricing problems. The governing equations are described by variants of Black-Scholes partial differential equations (BS-PDEs) ...
