A review of osmodehydration for food industry
As a cost saving drying technology, osmotic dehydration is not receiving much attention in the food industry due to the poor understanding of the counter current flow phenomena associated with it. Therefore, it is very important to investigate the underlying principles of the counter current flow to improve industrial implementation of the technology. -
Geosensors to Support Crop Production: Current Applications and User Requirements
Sensor technology, which benefits from high temporal measuring resolution, real-time data transfer and high spatial resolution of sensor data that shows in-field variations, has the potential to provide added value for crop production. The present paper explores how sensors and sensor networks have been utilised in the crop production process and what their added-value and the main bottlenecks are from the perspective of users. -

A comparative study of the pollution status of Sakumo II and Muni Lagoons in Ghana
The pollution status of Sakumo II and Muni Lagoons and Mamahuma and Gbagbla Ankonu feeder streams, which feed Sakumo II along the coast of Ghana, were assessed and compared. As expected of saline waters, pH values of both lagoons fell within a slightly neutral to saline range whilst, the feeder streams were moderately saline. Conductivity distribution also showed saline (.5.0mScm21) characteristics of the lagoons, while, the feeder streams are brackish (1.5–5.0mScm21) -

Management of root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne spp.) on sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) with moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam.) leaf powder
A major constraint facing sweet pepper production is infestation by nematodes leading to reduced yields.
