Purpose: During the COVID-19 global pandemic, a very significant change has occurred in the demand for basic goods, resulting from the change in the consumer needs of the population in light of a large-scale health and economic crisis.This has revealed the true importance that the agri-food supply chains (ASC) have in the design of business strateg
Dismal salvage of testicular torsion: A call to action!
Background: Testicular ischaemia and infarction in cases of torsion depend on the duration and degree of twisting.Early evaluation and treatment are associated with high salvage reports.Objective: To determine the salvage rates of testicular torsion in selected hospitals at the Coast Province of Kenya Design: A retrospective study of patients manag
Gene-knockdown in the honey bee mite Varroa destructor by a non-invasive approach: studies on a glutathione S-transferase
Abstract Background The parasitic mite Varroa destructor is considered the major pest of the European honey bee (Apis mellifera) and responsible for declines in honey bee populations worldwide.Exploiting the full potential of gene sequences becoming available for V.destructor requires adaptation of modern molecular biology approaches to this non-mo
Mitigation of Short-Term Temporal Variations of Receiver Code Bias to Achieve Increased Success Rate of Ambiguity Resolution in PPP
Ambiguity resolution (AR) is critical for achieving a fast, high-precision solution in precise point positioning (PPP).In the standard uncombined PPP (S-UPPP) method, ionosphere-free code biases are superimposed by ambiguity and receiver clock offsets to be estimated.However, besides the time-constant part of the receiver code bias, the complex and
