Transformer mineral oil ingestion induces systemic sub-acute toxicity in Wistar rats
(Heliyon, 2019)
We investigated the potential toxicities associated with the sub-acute ingestion of transformer mineral oil (TMO)
at a heated low dose (HLD-50 mg/kg), heated high dose (HHD-500 mg/kg) and unheated high dose (UHD-500
mg/kg) ...
Optimization of nutrient media for sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L.) vine multiplication in sandponics: Unlocking the adoption and utilization of improved varieties
(Gates Open Research, 2018)
Sweetpotato, being a vegetatively propagated crop is prone
to seed degeneration, and a continuous source for high quality sweetpotato
seed is critical for an efficient seed system. In most Sub-Saharan African
countr ...
