Simultaneous quantification of acetaminophen and tryptophan using a composite graphene foam/Zr-MOF film modified electrode
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020)
A graphene foam/zirconium-based metal–organic framework composite (GF/UiO-66) was synthesised and then employed to modify glassy carbon electrodes (GCE). These modified electrodes were successfully used for the simultaneous ...
Removal of Dyes From Wastewater by Adsorption Onto Low-Cost Adsorbents
(IGI Global, 2020)
This chapter describes an up-to-date critique of the use of adsorption as a wastewater treatment technique for the removal of dyes. The topics range from the classification of dyes, their occurrence in water and toxicity, ...
2-Hydroxysorangiadenosine: Structure and Biosynthesis of a Myxobacterial Sesquiterpene–Nucleoside
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020)
Myxobacteria represent an under-investigated source for biologically active natural products featuring intriguing structural moieties with potential applications, e.g., in the pharmaceutical industry. Sorangiadenosine and ...
Antioxidant and Free Radical Scavenging Activities of Selected Kenyan Leafy Vegetables
(African Environmental Review Journal, 2020)
Naturally occurring antioxidants found in vegetables and fruits can play a critical role in deactivating free radicals often before they attack biological cells in humans. Indigenous Kenyan vegetables are potential sources ...
Production and characterization of activated carbons from sugarcane bagasse from Chemelil sugar factory, compared with commercial activated carbons
(Journal of Engineering in Agriculture and the Environment, 2020)
In Kenya activated carbon is imported yet we have enough bagasse that can be used in its production. The
activated carbon from bagasse adds economic value to the bagasse and the processing excess bagasse provides
for ...

Nitrogenous Fertilizer Rates and Plucking Intervals Effects on Soil Organic Carbon, pH and Tea Yields and Their Relationships in Eastern Africa Tea Growing Regions
(International Society of Tea Science, 2020)
Eastern Africa tea grows in high rainfall areas where nutrients depletion through leaching, and surface run-off can be high, in addition to removal with crop. Nutrients replenishment through fertilizer applications is ...
Microplastics as Emerging Contaminants: Occurrence, Toxicology, and Analysis
(IG1 Global publishers of timely knowledge, 2020)
The ever-increasing production of plastics and concomitant poor plastic waste disposal systems explain the recent rising concerns over the occurrence of microplastics in freshwater resources. Microplastics are presently ...
