Antioxidant activities oftriacontanyl-E-cinnamoatesmetabolites from Caesalpinia volkensii root bark extracts
(Research gate, 2017)
Natural antioxidants have been reported to prevent oxidative damage caused by free radicals generated during biochemical processes
and thus useful in prevention of several degenerative diseases. The present study evaluated ...
Quiet Time Correlation Between Geomagnetic Field Variations and the Dynamics of the East African Equatorial Ionosphere
(Science Publishing Group, 2017)
The equatorial ionosphere is highly dynamic and consequently poses serious threats to communication and
navigation systems. As a result, proper understanding of ionospheric dynamics is important. The present paper presents ...
Effects of Micronutrients on the Nutritional Status of Clonal Tea Replanted in Areas Where Old Tea Was Uprooted
(Journal of Tea Science Research, 2017-03-20)
Tea yields peak is 21-30 years after which yields decline. The declining productivity and moribuncy has been reported in many tea fields due to prolonged period of monoculture under tea, physicochemical and biological ...
