Fine tuning the microenvironment of [EuW10O36]9- anion leads to the large enhancement of the red light luminescence
(Elsevier, 2017-12)
The polyoxometalate (POM) anion of europium (III) decatungstate [EuW10O36]9-exhibits great luminescence quantum yields of approximately 67% but suffers reduced red light emissions that are due to the low 5D0→7F2 transmissions. ...
The inter-play of the opto-electrical properties of cuprite and tenorite semiconductors for solar cell application
(American Journal of Nano Research and Applications, 2017)
The electrical and optical properties of cuprous oxide (Cu2O) thin films prepared by D.C. reactive magnetron sputtering technique have been systematically studied. The influence of the film deposition conditions on the ...
2-butanone as a carbon dioxide mimic in attractant blends for the Afrotroical malaria mosquitoes anopheles gambie and anopheles funestus
(Malaria Journal, 2017-08-24)
Most odour baits designed to attract host-seeking mosquitoes contain carbon dioxide (CO2), which enhances trap catches, given its role as a mosquito fight activator. However, the use of CO2 is expensive and logistically ...
Technological tools for sustainable development in developing countries: The example of Africa, a review
(Elsevier, 2017-10)
Abstract
The development of Africa including industrialization such as chemical production, urbanization, agriculture, waste disposal, and electric power generation has a direct and diverse effect on the environment. These ...
New synthetic pathways for thiocarbohydrazide and salicylaldehyde azine compounds
(Asian Journal of Chemical Sciences, 2017)
Thiocarbohydrazide synthesis is an important intermediate step for many hydrazine organic
synthetic reactions. Synthesis of thiocarbohydrazide can be done by reaction of carbon disulfide
with hydrazine (hydrazinolysis) ...
Implication of pollen character coding and their diagnostic value in the determination of taxonomic resemblance among indigofera linn species
(International Journal of Life Sciences Research, 2017)
Whereas phenetics emphasizes the use of maximum characters as practicable, decisions on how observations are translated to characters is of importance in systematics in order to partition objects in to nonoverlapping ...
Effect of climatic variability on malaria trends in Baringo County, Kenya
(Malaria Journal, 2017-05-25)
Malaria transmission in arid and semi-arid regions of Kenya such as Baringo County, is seasonal and often influenced by climatic factors. Unravelling the relationship between climate variables and malaria transmission ...
Canopy transpiration and stomatal responses to prolonged drought by a dominant desert species in central Asia
(MDPI AG, Basel, Switzerland, 2017)
In arid and semiarid lands, canopy transpiration and its dynamics depend largely on stomatal sensitivity to drought. In this study, the sap flow of a dominant species, Haloxylon ammodendron growing in Central Asian deserts, ...
A global synthesis of the effects of diversified farming systems on arthropod diversity within fields and across agricultural landscapes
(WILEY, 2017)
Agricultural intensification is a leading cause of global biodiversity loss, which can
reduce the provisioning of ecosystem services in managed ecosystems. Organic
farming and plant diversification are farm management ...
Analysing land cover and land use change in the Ruma National Park and surroundings in Kenya
(2017)
The change of land use and land cover (LULC) is often driven by the growth of human population. In the Lambwe valley, Kenya, the most important reason for accelerated settlement in the last decades was the control of the ...
