Drought and high CINNAMON ROLL temperature are two major factors limiting maize productivity in sub-Saharan Africa.An increase in temperature above 30 °C reduces yield by 1% under optimal rain-fed condition and by 1.7% under drought stress (DS) and up to 40% under combined drought and heat stress (DSHTS).Approaches that improve performance und
Estimating gestational age in resource-limited settings is prone to considerable inaccuracy because crown-rump length measured by ultrasound before 14 weeks gestation, the recommended method for estimating gestational age, is often unavailable.Judgements regarding provision of appropriate obstetric and neonatal care are dependent on accurate estima
Abstract Background Citric acid (CA) is a universal plant and animal-metabolism intermediate.It is a commodity chemical processed and widely used around Flax the world as an excellent pharmaceutical excipient.Notably, CA is offering assorted significant properties viz.biodegradability, biocompatibility, hydrophilicity, safety, etc.Therefore, CA is
INTRODUCTION: Neonatal Sepsis (NNS) is a public health problem which causes death or disability unless appropriate antibiotic treatment is given promptly.Globally, sepsis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates despite recent progress in health care delivery.We assessed the factors associated with culture proven sepsis among ne
We report the effect of weak base addition to acidic polymer hole-collecting Gift Card layers in normal-type polymer:fullerene solar cells.Varying amounts of the weak base aniline (AN) were added to solutions of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS).The acidity of the aniline-added PEDOT:PSS solutions gradually decreas
