Maize is a third important cereal crop in the world after wheat and rice. Its production is however hampered by both biotic and abiotic factors. Among the abiotic factors, heat stress has been reported to cause yield losses of about 1 to 1.7 % per day for every rise in temperature above 30◦C....

Maize is one of the most important economic crops on the African continent. However, its production is constrained by both abiotic and biotic factors. Phosphorus (P) deficiency is one of the major abiotic constraints in maize production. It was for this reason the study was undertaken whose...

Aluminum (Al) toxicity in acidic soils is a major constraint to common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) production. The genetic architecture of Al toxicity resistance in common bean is not well understood. The objective of this study was to identify the quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance to...

Today, stakeholders in the fight against TB face a dilemma of the quick spreading disease that must be fought with minimal resources. The scarcity of the resources for fighting Tuberculosis (TB) calls for creative and strategic ways to succeed. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs),...

Quality population is a parameter for economic development. Inter alia, health determines the quality of a population. Evidently, attaining optimal health calls for collaboration between humans, animals, and environmental health professionals plus understanding the consequences of humans, animals...

Health Related Quality of Life is an essential health outcome for improving clinical care and determining targets of intervention for managing cervical cancer survivors. In Zambia the number of cervical cancer survivors is increasing owing to the recent advancement in cancer treatment. However,...

Translation of public health research evidence into policy is critical to strengthening local health systems capacity to respond to eminent health challenges. However, limited public health research evidence generated in developing countries is translated into policy because of various factors....

Background: Improving reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health (RMNCH) services and increasing coverage for primary health care services is the focus of many developing countries. In this agenda, external funds play a crucial role in health service delivery, including RMNCH services....

Dietary exposure to several heavy metals at high concentrations including Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu), Lead (Pb) and Zinc (Zn), have been recognized as a risk to human health. This is through the consumption of vegetables. Hence, the study aimed at determining the concentration and bioaccumulation...

Polymer Solar Cells (PSCs) have attracted great attention due to the advantages of their light weight, flexibility and low cost. The typical device architecture of polymer based solar cell consists Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) on glass as the transparent conducting electrode,Poly (3,...
