Degradation capacity of a 1, 2, 4-trichlorobenzene mineralizing microbial community for traces of organochlorine pesticides
(Elsevier, 2010-07-15)
A soil-borne microbial community isolated from a contaminated site was previously shown to mineralize
1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (1,2,4-TCB) under aerobic conditions. The key degrader in this community was
identified as ...
Antioxidant activities oftriacontanyl-E-cinnamoatesmetabolites from Caesalpinia volkensii root bark extracts
(Research gate, 2017)
Natural antioxidants have been reported to prevent oxidative damage caused by free radicals generated during biochemical processes
and thus useful in prevention of several degenerative diseases. The present study evaluated ...
Effects of cropping systems and agricultural lime on soil properties and nutrient content of sugarcane on acidified soils of Kisumu County, Kenya
(American Journal of Agriculture and Forestry, 2016-07-23)
Acid soils cause soil fertility problems such as Al and Mn toxicity, Ca, Mg, N deficiency and P fixation. These are
constraints to high crop yields. Historically, liming is the common management practice used to neutralize ...
Spatial distribution and temporal trend in concentration of carbofuran, diazinon and chlorpyrifos ethyl residues in sediment and water in Lake Naivasha, Kenya
(Springer, 2012)
Chlorpyrifos ethyl was found to be widely distributed in water and sediment in Lake Naivasha. Higher
levels were reported in sediment (11.2–30.0 ng g-1 dry
weight (dw) in wet season than in dry season (4.7–17.4 ng
g-1 ...
Effects of Micronutrients on the Nutritional Status of Clonal Tea Replanted in Areas Where Old Tea Was Uprooted
(Journal of Tea Science Research, 2017-03-20)
Tea yields peak is 21-30 years after which yields decline. The declining productivity and moribuncy has been reported in many tea fields due to prolonged period of monoculture under tea, physicochemical and biological ...
Application of Nanotechnology for Enhanced Treatment of Tropical Diseases
(MMU, 2017-01-28)
The use of nanotechnology in drug delivery is a rapidly expanding field. Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary scientific undertaking that involves creation and utilization of materials, devices or systems on nanometer ...
Comparison of freeze and spray drying to obtain primaquine-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles
(IGI Global, 2017-07-01)
The spray drying and freeze drying of various nanosized Solid Lipid Nanoparticle and the physicochemical attributes of the acquired particles were examined. Primaquine loaded Solid Lipid Nanoparticles dried by the two ...
Impact of Agronomic Inputs in Sugarcane Farming on River Kuywa Surface Water Quality Traversing Sugarcane zones in Western Kenya.
(Maasai mara university, 2011)
For sustainable agriculture, the health of people indulged in this activity is paramount. Disease causative agents in these areas should be constantly checked and mitigation measures taken. This research determined levels ...
Effects of copper exchange levels on complexation of ammonia in Cu (II)-exchanged X zeolite
(Sabinet, 2010-01-01)
Copper (II)-exchanged faujasite-X zeolites at various loadings of copper per unit cell of zeolites were prepared and then exposed to ammonia. The copper ammine complexes of the various copper levels per unit cell were ...
