Managing soybean for enhanced food production and soil bio-fertility in smallholder systems through maximized fertilizer use efficiency
(Scientific & Academic Publishing, 2013)
The production of promiscuous soybean by smallholder farmers in Kenya would improve soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), boost food security, and contribute to generation of cash. The present study ...
Comparison of Freeze-Drying and Freeze-Drying Combined with Microwave Vacuum Drying Methods on Drying Kinetics and Rehydration Characteristics of Button Mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) Slices
(Springer, 2013)
Button mushroom slices were dried using freeze-drying (FD) and freeze-drying combined with microwave vacuum drying (FD + MVD) methods. Drying parameters including drying temperatures (20, 30, and 40 °C), chamber pressures ...
Comparison of Freeze-Drying with Three Different Combinations of Drying Methods and Their Influence on Colour, Texture, Microstructure and Nutrient Retention of Button Mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) Slices
(Springer, 2013)
Freeze-drying (FD) and three different combinations of drying methods: freeze-drying combined with hot air drying (FD + AD), freeze-drying combined with vacuum drying (FD + VD) and freeze-drying combined with microwave ...
Safety, Pharmacokinetic, and Efficacy Studies of Oral DB868 in a First Stage Vervet Monkey Model of Human African Trypano
(PLOS, 2013)
There are no oral drugs for human African trypanosomiasis (HAT, sleeping sickness). A successful oral drug would have the potential to reduce or eliminate the need for patient hospitalization, thus reducing healthcare costs ...
Infectra(®)-kit: a device for restraining mice and confining tsetse flies during trypanosome infection transmission experiments
(Elsevier, 2013)
Chemical (anaesthesia) and manual techniques are commonly used to restrain mice during vector-mediated parasite transmission experiments in the laboratory. Chemical restraint may interfere with natural fly vector-mouse ...
