Wild yam (Dioscorea spp.), particularly Dioscorea schimperiana Kunth tubers, have been used as food during times of severe famine. However, there is no documentation on attempted wild yam domestication in Kenya. Therefore, ...

Improved indigenous chicken contribute to the nutrition of farmers in rural communities. The use of maize as an energy source in chicken diets is becoming unacceptable due to competition from humans, resulting in high ...

High prevalence of protein-energy malnutrition among the vulnerable population, especially children has prompted research on fortification of common staple cereal foods such as rice. However, rice has inferior nutritional ...

Background: Malnutrition is a universal problem in cancer patients renowned as an important factor for increased morbidity, decreased quality of life and high mortality. Early diagnosis of malnutrition risk through nutrition ...

A farm survey was conducted in Kuria East and Suna West sub-counties to determine the incidence, severity and estimated losses of cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) and cassava mosaic disease (CMD) on cassava crops in ...

Difficult economic times began for Namibia in 2008 as real economic growth suddenly dropped to 4.3 per cent from the 5.5 per cent recorded in 2007. There were also wide fluctuations in ...

In this paper, we introduce the class of (n, mBQ) operators acting on a complex Hilbert space H. An operator if T ∈ B (H) is said to belong to class (n, mBQ) if T ∗2mT 2n commutes with (T ∗mTn ) 2 equivalently [T ∗2mT 2n, ...

Let H be an infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space and A, B ∈ B(H) where B(H) is the C ∗ -algebra of all bounded linear operators on H. Let MAB : B(H) → B(H) be a multiplication operator induced by A and B defined ...

The question of how many characters should an online newspaper headline have is still debatable. This study therefore, sought to examine the optimal length for the online newspaper headlines by using characters as the ...
