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. ... -
Modeling the proteome of a Marek's disease transformed cell line: a natural animal model for CD30 overexpressing lymphomas.
(Proteomics, 2007-04-18)Marek's disease (MD) in the chicken, caused by the highly infectious MD alpha-herpesvirus (MDV), is both commercially important and a unique, naturally occurring model for human T-cell lymphomas overexpressing the Hodgkin's ... -
Modelling elephant corridors over two decades reveals opportunities for conserving connectivity across a large protected area network
(PLOS ONE, 2023-10-13)Protected area (PA) connectivity is pivotal for the persistence of wide-ranging wildlife species, but is challenged by habitat loss and fragmentation. We analyzed habitat suitability and connectivity for the African elephant ... -
Modelling habitat conversion in miombo woodlands: insights from Tanzania
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2017-05-29)Understanding the drivers of natural habitat conversion is a major challenge, yet predicting where future losses may occur is crucial to preventing them. Here, we used Bayesian analysis to model spatio-temporal patterns ... -
Modelling the impact of climate change on Tanzanian forests
(Wiley Online Library, 2020-08-31)Aim: Climate change is pressing extra strain on the already degraded forest eco system in Tanzania. However, it is mostly unknown how climate change will affect the distribution of forests in the future. We aimed to model ... -
Modelling the Impact of Human Population and Its Associated Pressure on Forest Biomass and Forest-Dependent Wildlife Population
(Hindawi Limited, 2023-01-12)Mathematical models have been widely used to explain the system originating from human-nature interaction, investigate the impacts of various components, and forecast system behaviour. This paper provides a profound reference ... -
Modifications of the hydrophilicity of heterocyclic methacrylate copolymers for protein release
(Elsevier, 1995-12)A series of copolymers comprising ethyl methacrylate (EM) and tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate (THFMA) gelled with either THFMA monomer or hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) monomer have been developed. In this paper, we ... -
Modified World Health Organization (WHO) Tunnel Test for Higher Throughput Evaluation of Insecticide-Treated Nets (ITNs) Considering the Effect of Alternative Hosts, Exposure Time, and Mosquito Density
(MDPI, 2022-06-21)The standard World Health Organization (WHO) tunnel test is a reliable laboratory bioassay used for “free-flying” testing of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) bio-efficacy where mosquitoes pass through a ITN sample to reach ... -
Molecular assessment of genetic diversity of Tanzanian and aflatoxin-resistant maize (Zea mays. L) accessions
(Springer International Publishing, 2024-05-28)Genetic distance information for various maize accessions is important for germplasm improvement and breeding program. However, this information is limited in most of the developing countries such as Tanzania. The present ... -
Molecular characterization of Morogoro maize-associated virus, a nucleorhabdovirus detected in maize (Zea mays) in Tanzania
(Springer Nature, 2019-03-21)RNAtag-seq of maize samples collected in Tanzania revealed the presence of a previously undescribed nucleorhabdovirus, tentatively named “Morogoro maize-associated virus” (MMaV), in three samples. The MMaV genome is ... -
Molecular characterization of Morogoro maize-associated virus, a nucleorhabdovirus detected in maize (Zea mays) in Tanzania.
