ABSTRACT The potentials of using Gycine max and Lycopersicon esculentum in remediating soil polluted with crude oil were investigated. The investigation involved screening of four accessions each of the two crops fro germination, survival and growth. The mitotic divisons of the accessions of G. max were further examined. The plant height, dry matter content, leaf area, chlorophyll content and pod production rate of the TGX 1440-1E accession of G. Max was also accessed. This was followed by in...

ABSTRACT The Government of the Republic of Namibia as a multi-layered organisation of systems, desires to be effective, efficient and integrated in service delivery. Although it continues to invest significantly in the acquisition and development of information systems, active results and efficiency are not necessarily produced as expected. A concern in public roads traffic control are the various traffic fine information systems involved, which are heterogeneous and decentralised. This has c...
ABSTRACT In the wake of digitalisation, technology has changed the world, connecting people with information and services at the touch of a finger. Regular Internet access, smartphones and other technological advances have made the world a global village by bringing people from various geographical locations together. Despite the positive changes, the pace and scale of this technological revolution have created space for nefarious actors. Identity theft, data breaches, fake news, phishing and...
ABSTRACT This thesis examined household demographic factors and how they influence poverty levels in Namibia. While most previous studies have used income and expenditure to define household socio-economic status levels, this study used a three poverty dimension approach namely health, education and living standard. This is because poverty is multidimensional. The data used came from the Namibia Household Income and Expenditure Survey (NHIES) of 2009/10. Initially, the Alkire Foster method wa...

ABSTRACT The idea of developing Mbizo high school integrated administration system was hatched due to the lack of a suitable IT based solution to administrative processes of schools classified in class B. Many school administration systems available off-the-shelf are not fit for most of the school in Zimbabwe and study have shown that they are prematurely abandoned due to their unsustainability. The new system is tailor made to suite well in environments of class B school like Mbizo high scho...
ABSTRACT Pythium root rot possess major threats on float bed seedling productions. It is caused by oomycetes in the Pythium genus. It causes a huge of loss money as well as the seedlings. It is critically important to control this disease before it causes economic losses. A study was carried out from September 2013 to November 2013 at Kutsaga Research Station in the greenhouse. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of metalaxyl + mancozeb from a new source (Citchem) for the co...

ABSTRACT A series of the Baylis-Hillman adducts 133 were obtained by reacting unprotected substituted and unsubstituted salicylaldehydes with tert-butyl acrylate for three to fourteen days, using 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) as nucleophilic catalysts in 25-69% yields. Oxidation of these adducts led to unexpected cyclization products: tert-butyl 6-bromochromene-3-carboxylate 149. Another series of the Baylis-Hillman adducts were obtained by reacting protected Obenzylated salicylaldeh...
ABSTRACT The Genus Blastocystis was first described from the faecal contents of animals by Alexieff in 1911 and named Blastocystis enterocola, cyst of a flagellate and upon its isolation from the faeces of humans the following year by Brumpt; it was re-named Blastocystis hominis but classified as yeast and non- pathogenic in humans (Tan et al., 2002). As a result of the ensuing confusion of unsettled taxonomy, Blastocystis spp. was not included in any of the systematic classifications of the ...
ABSTRACT The earth‟s surface is affected by three main types of radiation from the sun: global solar (or total), beam (or direct), and longwave (or indirect) radiation. Global solar radiation is composed of direct and indirect radiation. Approximately 99% of the total radiation from the sun that reaches the earth is beam radiation, which has a wavelength range of 0.29 to 3.9 μm and is not subjected to interference from any interspatial matter. The remaining 1% is longwave radiation, which ...
