Ethical international scientific writing collaboration, co-operation and partnerships: Case studies and testimonials
Different types of collaboration, partnership and co-operation (CPC) exist in science and their possible forms can be different depending on the phase of scientific research when it is applied and consequently, on the common goals of participants. Scientific research can be divided into at least three different phases and the success of a scientific research needs the efficient completion of all these...

The continued relevance of home management of malaria strategy in the effective and sustainable control of malaria in endemic areas
Malaria remains one of the World’s most devastating diseases, killing millions of people yearly. The disease is naturally transmitted through the bite of an adult female Anopheles mosquito and accompanied by symptoms which include fever, headache, chills and nausea among others. A wide range of childhood illnesses are accompanied by fever, many of which are treated at home prior to presentation in hospital. Home...

A finite element method based on an assumed curvature distribution for Euler-Bernoulli beams
This paper surveys the assumed curvature finite element method for Euler-Bernoulli beams and its applications. Since the curvature of Euler-Bermnoulli beams is proportional to bending stress, this method approximates a curvature distribution as a polynomial. Then, the displacement is obtained by integrating the approximated bending stress. The integration constants are determined by imposing the compatibility...

Use of indigenous Cucumis technologies as alternative to synthetic nematicides in management of root-knot nematodes in low-input agricultural farming systems: A review
The ”Indigenous Cucumis Technologies” (ICTs) were researched and developed for the management of plant-parasitic nematodes, particularly Meloidogyne species, in an attempt to alleviate the void created by the withdrawal of synthetic nematicides from the agro-chemical markets and the drawbacks associated with the use of conventional organic matter as a nematode management practice....

Nickel in soils: A review of its distribution and impacts
Nickel is generally uniformly distributed in the soil profile and typical soil nickel contents vary widely based on the parent rock, with elevated levels at surface soils been associated with soil- forming processes and anthropogenic contamination principally ascribed to agricultural and industrial activities. Major concern for the impact and distribution of nickel in soils arises apparently from the role of soil as an...
