Novel Ideas of Solving Tomato Leaf Miner (Tuta absoluta) Issues From Tomato Production in Kenya: The Case of Kirinyaga County
(University of Embu, 2018)The tomato leaf miner (Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is a devastating pest of tomato, which causes 80-100% yield losses both in the greenhouse and outdoor cultivation. Tomato plants can be infested ... -
Novel Power Law of Turbulent Spectrum
(Scientific Research, 2014-06)This paper is concerned with novel power law of turbulent energy spectrum and the relevant experiment in tidal current. The power law in the inertial sub-range has been proposed in such a way that the power of the ... -
The Novel Pyruvated Glucogalactan Sulfate Isolated from the Red Seaweed, Hypnea pannosa
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2016-06)The polysaccharide was isolated from Hypnea pannosa which was grown in Okinawa, Japan. The yield of the polysaccharide was 17.2%, and the total carbohydrates, pyruvic acid, sulfuric acid and ash contents were 55.2%, 3.8%, ... -
Novel source of sorghum tolerance to the African stem borer, Busseola fusca
(Academic Journals, 2012-08)Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is an important cereal food crop in semi-arid tropics, but its productivity is curtailed mainly by insect pests and diseases. The African stem borer, Busseola fusca Fuller (Lepidopteran: Noctuidae), ... -
Novel Technique Combining Tissue and Mesh Repair for Umbilical Hernia in Adults
(Scientific Research, 2014-09)Introduction: Umbilical hernia in adults poses a challenge to the surgeon. Understanding the anatomical and pathological intricacies of the hernia is pivotal in evolving a good repair. A multitude of repairs have been ... -
A Novel Technique for Determination of Flow Characteristics of Blast Furnace Slag
(Scientific Research, 2012-06)A study of flow characteristics of blast furnace slag helps determine its softening and flow (liquid-mobility) temperatures. The slag with a narrow difference between the two temperatures is termed a “Short Slag”. Its ... -
A Novel Ultra-Wideband Monopole Antenna with Band-Stop Characteristic
