Tri-Trophic Impacts of Bt-Transgenic Maize on Parasitoid Size and Fluctuating Asymmetry in Native vs. Novel Host-Parasitoid Interactions in East Africa
(Insects, 2018)
Environmental stress can affect trait size and cause an increase in the fluctuating asymmetry
(FA) of bilateral morphological traits in many animals. For insect parasitoids, feeding of hosts on
transgenic maize, expressing ...
A Curriculum-Based Approach to Teaching Biosafety Through eLearning
(Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2018)
Anyone working in biosafety capacity enhancement faces the challenge of ensuring
that the impact of a capacity enhancing activity continues and becomes sustainable
beyond the depletion of funding. Many training efforts ...
Phosphate removal from aqueous solution using iron oxides: adsorption, desorption and regeneration characteristics
(Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2018)
Dynamics of phosphate (PO4
3-) adsorption, desorption and regeneration characteristics of
three lab-synthesized iron oxides, ferrihydrite (F), goethite (G), and magnetite (M) were
evaluated in this study. Batch experiments ...
Utilization of Solid Waste as a Substrate for Production of Oil from Oleaginous Microorganisms
(Journal of Lipids, 2018)
The overwhelming demand of oil and fats to meet the ever increasing needs for biofuel, cosmetics production, and other industrial
purposes has enhanced a number of innovations in this industry. One such innovation is the ...
Taxonomy of the order Mononegavirales: update 2018
(Archives of virology, 2018)
In 2018, the order Mononegavirales was expanded by inclusion of 1 new genus and 12 novel species. This article presents the
updated taxonomy of the order Mononegavirales as now accepted by the International Committee on ...
Investigation of flow-rainfall co-variation for catchments selected based on the two main sources of River Nile
(Stochastic environmental research and risk assessment, 2018)
The co-variation of rainfall and flow was assessed in four selected catchments of the River Nile which has two
main sources including the White Nile (in the Equatorial region) and the Blue Nile (from the Ethiopian
highlands). ...
Trends and variability in African long-term precipitation
(Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, 2018)
African precipitation trends are commonly analyzed using short-term data observed over small areas. This study analyzed
changes in long-term (1901–2015) annual and seasonal precipitation of high spatial (0.5 9 0.5 grid) ...
Neutralizing antibodies against flaviviruses, Babanki virus, and Rift Valley fever virus in Ugandan bats
(Infection Ecology & Epidemiology, 2018)
A number of arboviruses have previously been isolated from naturally-infected
East African bats, however the role of bats in arbovirus maintenance is poorly understood.
The aim of this study was to investigate the exposure ...
Evidence for rapid faunal change in the early Miocene of East Africa based on revised biostratigraphic and radiometric dating of Bukwa, Uganda
(Journal of Human Evolution, 2018)
Field expeditions to Bukwa in the late 1960s and early 1970s established that the
site had a small but diverse early Miocene fauna, including the catarrhine primate
Limnopithecus legetet. Initial potassium-argon radiometric ...
Modelling hepatotoxicity and antiretroviral therapeutic effect in HIV/HBV coinfection
(Elsevier, 2018)
Enzyme alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevation which reflects hepatocellular injury is a current challenge in people infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) on antiretroviral therapy (ART). One of the factors ...
