(CODEN (USA):, 2014-04)
Developing countries, more so those in sub-Saharan Africa, are having to grapple with high prevalence of vitamin A deficiency. Food based approaches are being recommended as the sustainable interventions. In Kenya, ...
Nematodes and fungi associated with apple replant disorder in sampled New York State orchards.
(2014)
The factors associated with unthrifty growth of apple are not fully determined, resulting i n inadequate diagnosis of apple replant disorder (ARD). The present study isolated and identified nematodes and fungi from ARD ...
Distribution of Spectrum in a Direct Sum Decomposition of Operators into Normal and Completely Non normal parts;
(Modern Scientific Press Company, Florida, USA, 2014-09-05)
We discuss the distribution of spectra of a direct sum decomposition of an arbitrary operator into normal and completely non normal parts. We utilize the fact that any given operator 𝑇∈𝐵(𝐻) can be ...
Application of Banach space ideal properties in image transmission over wireless network
(2014-04)
The Banach space operator ideals and nuclear maps have a large class of morphisms which behave as if they were part of a compact closed category, that is, they allow one to transfer variables between the domain and the ...
Occurrence and abundance of plant parasitic nematodes in cabbage-based cropping systems in Kenya.
(2014-10)
A survey was conducted to determine the incidences of plant parasitic nematodes (PPN) and factors enhancing population build-up in cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var capitata)-based cropping system in selected agro-ecological ...
