Understanding soil attributes guides arable farming initiatives in many countries, especially developing countries. In this study, soils of the Gamodubu area, in the Kweneng District, Botswana, were analysed to determine ...
Impact and control of desertification in the drylands: a review article
(International Society for Development and Sustainability (ISDS), Japan. https://isdsnet.com/ijds.html, 2018)
The inherent variation in the impacts of desertification and the criteria and methods used for its control significantly influence the success of its combat. This paper provides a critical review of the empirical studies ...
A unified approach to integration theory
(International Journal of Applied Physics and Mathematics, www.ijapm.org/, 2019-01)
We investigate the common features and the resemblance of the central parts of the different existing integration theories to obtain a more unified approach to the notion of integral. Our approach gives a presentation of ...
