Greenhouse and field evaluations of commonly occurring weed species for their host suitability to Meloidogyne species
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)Since weeds serve as hosts for nematode pests, the host status of 20 weed species (commonly occurring in fields of developing farmers) to Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica, respectively, were investigated. Greenhouse ... -
A greenhouse trial to investigate the ameliorative properties of biosolids and plants on physicochemical conditions of iron ore tailings: implications for an iron ore mine site remediation
(Elsevier, 2016)An iron ore mine site in Swaziland is currently (2015) in a derelict state as a consequence of past (1964–1988) and present (2011 – current) iron ore mining operations. In order to control problems associated with mine ... -
A grounding framework for developing adaptive software products
(International Business Information Management Association (IBIMA), 2009)This paper is an analysis of the issues, problems and concerns facing practitioners in the fields of software and system development. The main task that faces practitioners in these fields is to choose an appropriate ... -
Groundwater monitoring during underground coal gasification
(SAIMM, 2018)Underground coal gasification (UCG) is a fast-emerging, in situ mining technology that provides access to low-cost energy through the utilization of coal reserves that are currently not technically or economically exploitable ... -
A groundwater-planning toolkit for the main Karoo basin: identifying and quantifying groundwater-development options incorporating the concept of wellfield yields and aquifer firm yields
(South African Water Research Commission, 2012)This paper provides an overview of groundwater-planning tools that were developed during a Water Research Commission project that was initiated due to the need to place the significant knowledge on groundwater of the Karoo ... -
Group analysis of a generalized KdV equation
(NSP, 2014)In this work the Korteweg-de Vries equation which contains an arbitrary function in the nonlinear term is considered and it is referred to as a generalized KdV.This equation has applications in non linear solitary wave ... -
Group analysis of a hyperbolic Lane-Emden system
(Elsevier, 2017)In this paper we carry out a complete Noether and Lie group classification of the radial form of a coupled system of hyperbolic equations. From the Noether symmetries we establish the corresponding conserved vectors. We ... -
Group classification and conservation laws of the generalized Klein-Gordon-Fock equation
(World Scientific Publishing, 2016)In the present paper, we perform Lie and Noether symmetries of the generalized Klein-Gordon-Fock equation. It is shown that the principal Lie algebra, which is one-dimensional, has several possible extensions. It is further ... -
Group classification of a general bond–option pricing equation of mathematical finance
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014)We carry out group classification of a general bond-option pricing equation. We show that the equation admits a three-dimensional equivalence Lie algebra. We also show that some of the values of the constants which result ... -
Growth and neurite stimulating effects of the neonicotinoid pesticide clothianidin on human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells
(Elsevier, 2019)Neonicotinoids are one of most widely used pesticides targeting nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) of insects. Recent epidemiological evidence revealed increasing amounts of neonicotinoids detected in human samples, ... -
Growth and nickel uptake by serpentine and non–serpentine populations of Fimbristylis ovata (Cyperaceae) from Sri Lanka
(CSIRO Publishing, 2015)Compared with serpentine floras of Southeast Asia, the serpentine vegetation of Sri Lanka is impoverished in regard to serpentine endemics and nickel hyperaccumulators. All species so far documented from the serpentine ... -
Growth and yield attributes of soybean (Glycine max L) in response to cassava peel compost and inorganic fertilizer
(Gaurav Society of Aric, 2017)Field experiments were conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm, Ladoke, Akintola University of Technology in Nigeria for the evaluation of soybean performance on the soil amended separately or in combination with cassava ... -
Growth of soil algae and cyanobacteria on gold mine tailings material
(ASSAf, 2017)The goal of revegetation of gold mine tailings storage facilities is to reduce aeolian pollution, nutrient leaching and erosion caused by exposure to wind and water. The establishment of biological soil crusts may prove ... -
Growth performance and carcass characteristics of three chicken strains in response to incremental levels of dietary Moringa oleifera leaf meal
(Elsevier, 2015)A 90-day feeding trial was conducted to determine the effect of Moringa oleifera leaf meal supplementation on growth performance and carcass characteristics of three chicken strains (male and female) that are normally ... -
Growth performance, haemo-biochemical parameters and meat quality characteristics of male Japanese quails fed a Lippia javanica-based diet
(South African Society for Animal Science (SASAS), 2017)A total of 105 male Japanese quails (153.2 ± 10.21 g) (Cortunix cortunix japonica) were reared in an environmentally controlled house to investigate the effect of inclusion of Lippia javanica leaf meal on growth performance, ... -
Growth performance, hematology, and meat quality characteristics of Mutton Merino lambs fed canola-based diets
(Springer, 2016)A 56-day feeding trial was carried out to evaluate the effect of feeding canola meal (CM) on growth performance, hematology, and meat quality parameters of lambs. Twenty lambs with an average body weight of 23 ± 2.64 kg ... -
Growth, physiological performance, and pork quality of weaner large white piglets to different inclusion levels of nano zinc oxide
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2023)Thirty intensively reared piglets averaged 7.6 ± 0.32 kg were used for the experiment. The piglets were randomly allotted to 5 different treatments: 200 mg/kg, 400 mg/kg, 600 mg/kg nano zinc oxide (nZnO; 50 nm), positive ... -
