Demography of lions (panthera leo) in Tarangire national park, Tanzania
(International Journal of Conservation Science, 2014)
Tarangire lions reveal similar population characteristics to most of other lion populations in other protected areas in Africa. Tarangire lion population was estimated to be around 155 individuals as in June 2013 based on ...
In vivo evaluation of the biodistribution and safety of PLGA nanoparticles as drug delivery systems
(Elsevier Inc., 2010-10)
The remarkable physicochemical properties of particles in the nanometer range have been proven to address many challenges in the field of science. However, the possible toxic effects of these particles have raised some ...
Effects of protein binding on the biodistribution of PEGylated PLGA nanoparticles post oral administration
(Elsevier B.V., 2012-03-15)
The surface of nanoparticles is often functionalised with polymeric surfactants, in order to increase systemic circulation time. This has been investigated mainly for intravenously administered nanoparticles. This study ...
Seed dispersal potential of Asian elephants
(Elsevier, 2016-11)
Elephants, the largest terrestrial mega-herbivores, play an important ecological role in maintaining forest ecosystem diversity. While several plant species strongly rely on African elephants (Loxodonta africana; L. cyclotis) ...
Probabilistic dietary based estimation of the burden of aflatoxin-induced hepatocellular carcinoma among adult Malawians
(Wageningen Academic Publishers, 2019-09-29)
The risk of aflatoxin-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) among adults (average body weight of 60 kg) in
Malawi was assessed based on aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) exposure through groundnut and maize consumption, by Monte
Carlo ...
Tipping Points in the Supply of Ecosystem Services of a Mountainous Watershed in Southeast Asia
(MDPI, 2018-07-11)
Rubber plantations have expanded at an unprecedented rate in Southeast Asia in recent
decades. This has led to a substantial decline in the supply of ecosystem services (ESS) and has
reduced livelihood options and ...
Giraffe genome sequence reveals clues to its unique morphology and physiology
(Nature Communications, 2016-05-16)
The origins of giraffe’s imposing stature and associated cardiovascular adaptations are
unknown. Okapi, which lacks these unique features, is giraffe’s closest relative and provides a
useful comparison, to identify genetic ...
Molecular clusters Cs3X3 and Cs4X4 (X = Br, I): Quantum chemical study of structure and thermodynamic properties
(Cogent OA, 2016-05-11)
The properties of trimer Cs3X3 and tetramer Cs4X4 (X = Br, I) molecules
have been studied using DFT with B3LYP5 functional and MP2 and MP4 methods.
Two equilibrium geometrical structures of trimers, hexagonal (D3 h) and ...
Risk of exposures of pesticide residues from tomato in Tanzania
(Academic Journal, 2017-08-31)
Tomato contributes the highest percent to the fruit and vegetables consumed in Tanzania. Its high consumption is attributed to the presence of bioactive compounds and vitamins known to prevent non-communicable diseases. ...
Modeling Boran cattle populations under climate change and varying carrying capacity
(Elsevier, 2017-05-24)
Cattle populations in semiarid rangelands are currently facing severe threats due to erratic rainfall and increasing drought frequencies, leading to poor vegetation quality and a consecutive cattle population decline. ...
