Testing of eight medicinal plant extracts in combination with kresoxim-methyl for integrated control of botrytis cinerea in apples
(MDPI, 2015)Botrytis cinerea is a fungus that causes gray mold on many fruit crops. Despite the availability of a large number of botryticides, the chemical control of gray mold has been hindered by the emergence of resistant strains. ... -
Towards the development of a novel bipolar-based battery in aqueous electrolyte: Evaluation of the electrochemical properties of NiCu based hydroxide electrodes fabricated on Ni–mesh and graphite composite current collectors
(Journal of Energy Storage, 2022)The use of bipolar electrodes in rechargeable batteries can improve specific power, simplify cell design, and reduce manufacturing costs. However, bipolar-based batteries still suffer from many drawbacks. Therefore, ... -
Trace elements risk assessment for consumption of wild mussels along South Africa coastline
(Elsevier, 2021)The study aimed to contribute to the scarce data on concentrations in the soft tissue of wild mussels growing in coastal cities of South Africa. The intake of 26 micro and macroelements was estimated. The mass fractions ... -
Transformation of fly ash based nanosilica extract to BEA zeolite and its durability in hot liquid
(Elsevier, 2020)Power generation in South Africa relies heavily on the combustion of coal and during this process, coal fly ash (CFA) is generated as by-product, which raises several environmental issues. The transformation of CFA into a ... -
