(2012)In the Central Plateau of Burkina Faso, grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is the major cereal crop used to produce the traditional beer commonly called dolo. Improvement of the dolo chain supply that requires ... -
Quantitative comparison of the aerosol optical properties over Durban using ground and satellite based instrumentation.
(2017)Aerosols are ubiquitous constituents in the atmosphere and are important for atmospheric processes. This is due to their ability to scatter and absorb solar radiation and influence cloud microphysics. This study will focus ... -
Quantitative determination of fumonisin B1 in biological material.
(1999)The mycotoxin, fumonisin B1 is produced by the mould Fusarium moniliforme, a common contaminant of maize and maize products. Small doses (mg/kg) of ingested fumonisin B1 have been shown to cause diseases and even death in ... -
Quantitative feedback design and construction of a two by two system with large disturbances.
(1989)The quantitative feedback theory (QFT) of Horowitz is theoretically well developed for multivariable systems but there is not sufficient knowledge on its application to practical problems. A "flying machine" consisting ... -
Quantitative Feedback Theory design of line current commutated HVDC control systems.
(SAIEE Publications., 2013)Line Current Commutated (LCC) HVDC systems consists of uncertain plants. These uncertainties are result of changes/disturbances in the ac networks or in the LCC HVDC system itself. Further uncertainties can be introduced ... -
Quantitative genetic analysis of agronomic and kernel endosperm traits in quality protein maize (QPM) and investigations of the putative nutritional value of contaminated QPM crops.
(2008)The importance of maize in sub-Saharan Africa and the potential of quality protein maize (QPM) to alleviate the nutritional gap caused by lack of access to adequate protein rich foods were highlighted. Frustrations from ... -
Quantitative imaging of tyrosine kinase-drug interactions in cells.
(2012)Kinases play a crucial role in regulating cellular signaling cascades, making them therapeutic targets for several human diseases. In human cancers, mis-regulation and mutations of kinases such as EGFR (epidermal growth ... -
