Effects of Storage Moisture and Temperature Conditions on The Longevity of Seeds of Ekebergia Capensis Sparrm
(African Journal of Education, Science and Technology, 2021)
Ekebergia capensis is an indigenous tree valued for its medicinal uses. However, it is
facing extinction due to excessive utilization without counter efforts to restore them,
and its slow regeneration rate in nature. ...
Multiple drug resistance of Campylobacter jejuni and Shigella isolated from diarrhoeic children at Kapsabet County referral hospital, Kenya
(BMC Infectious Diseases, 2021)
Background: Diarrhoea is a common cause of mortality and morbidity in children under five years old. In Kenya, it
has a 21% case fatality with Enteropathogenic E. coli, Campylobacter jejuni, Shigella spp. and Salmonella ...
Potable Water Fluoride Rapid Detection Based on TBAF Desilylation by a Novel Fluorogenic 7-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-3-cyano-4-methylcoumarin Compound
(African Journal of Education, Science and Technology (AJEST), 2021-05)
This article reports the synthesis and properties of a novel fluoride detector, 7-O-tertbutyldimethylsilyl-3-cyano-4-methylcoumarin, which emits a lavender blue fluorescence in aqueous solution when fluoride ions are ...
Utilization and Management of Wetland Resources of Kingwal Wetland by the Riparian Community.
(Journal of Environmental Science, Toxicology and Food Technology (IOSR-JESTFT), 2020-11)
The uncontrolled utilization of wetland resources continues to impact negatively on wetland natural resource
including plant and animal resources species composition, abundance, diversity and consequently on the
ecological ...
Computation of the Expectation Value of the Electron – Phonon and Coulomb Interaction Hamiltonian using Second Quantization and Many Body Techniques
(International Journal of Research and Analytical Reviews (IJRAR), 2020-12)
The problem of the strong electron coupling in the theory of superconductivity has been discussed in many studies on the basis of electron and phonon spectral functions. For the rationale of investigating the effect of ...
Design of simultaneous multicolor coherent light generation in a single MgO:PPLN bulk crystal
(Journal of the Optical Society of America B, 2020-11)
We report on simultaneous sum-frequency mixing and doubling of C-band and 980 nm laser sources using a
single segmented periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal in a single-pass configuration. Our theoretical
analysis ...
Dietary Intake and Prevalence of Dental Caries among Five-Year-Old Children in Urban and Rural Areas of Uasin-Gishu County, Kenya
(EJFOOD, European Journal of Agriculture and Food Sciences, 2020-08)
Dental caries is a major public health problem associated with diet and nutrition affecting 60-90% of children globally with the burden in both industrialized and less industrialized countries undergoing nutrition transition. ...
Nutrient Content and Dry Matter Degradability of Acacia Species in Arid and Semi-Arid Land of Baringo County, Kenya
(African Environmental Review Journal (AER), 2020-12)
The inadequate grass-based feed sources in arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) constraint livestock production. Acacia trees and shrubs form the dominant vegetation in parts of the ASAL of Sub-Saharan Africa where they offer ...
Health Risk Assessment Levels of Selected Heavy Metals on Solanum Nigrum, Soils and Water Collected Along River Moiben, Uasin-Gishu County, Kenya
(Archives of Organic and Inorganic Chemical Sciences, 2020-09)
The study investigated heavy metals’ levels in soil, Solanum nigrum and irrigation water from intense Moiben irrigated farms
located in Meibeki Karuna, Uasin Gishu County. Purposive sampling was used to identify farms ...
Optimization of Split-Plot Design in the Context of Mixture Process Variable Settings
(Asian Journal of Probability and Statistics, 2021-04)
In the presence of process variables, a mixture design has become well-known in statistical modeling due to
its utility in modeling the blending surface, which empirically predicts any mixture's response and serves as
the ...
