Changes in Health-related Parameters Associated with Sports Performance Enhancement Drugs.
(Thieme Gruppe, 2022-12-02)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in health-related parameters caused by the administration of anabolic-androgenic steroids and fat-burning drugs during a 6-month competition preparation period. The ...
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 ± ...
Unlocking the potential of smallholder dairy farm: Evidence from the central highland of Ethiopia.
(Elsevier, 2022-12-01)
Sustainable livestock farming practices have the potential to improve productivity and high income, reduce greenhouse gases, and improve household food security. Despite previous efforts to disseminate these technologies, ...
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 ...
Smallholder agriculture in African dryland agroecosystems has limited impact on trophic group composition, but affects arthropod provision of ecosystem services.
(Elsevier B.V., 2024-04-01)
Agricultural intensification is a major driver of biodiversity loss, but the majority of studies highlighting these threats come from industrialised agriculture in temperate countries of the global North. However, more ...
Modeling the Effect of HIV/AIDS Stigma on HIV Infection Dynamics in Kenya.
(Springer Link, 2021-04-05)
Stigma toward people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) has impeded the response to the disease across the world. Widespread stigma leads to poor adherence of pre- ventative measures while also causing PLWHA to avoid testing and ...
Herbaceous communities’ heterogeneity in the Kalahari sandy soils environment: A case study of Kweneng, Kgatleng Districts and Mahalapye Sub-District of Botswana
(International Network for Natural Sciences, 2021-06-30)
Biotic and abiotic factors shape most vegetation communities’ structures and composition. Over the years, climatic conditions have been changing. Livestock and wild animal populations have also been dynamic in Botswana’s ...
Mathematical modeling of the dynamics of health risks associated with alcoholism in Tanzania: a literature review.
(SCIK Publishing Corporation, 2020-07-13)
In this paper, a number of alcohol related studies have been reviewed in light of the strength and challenges of the models developed for their applicability in Tanzanian drinking context. The aim of this paper is to provide ...
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 ...
