Effectiveness of “PREP-PAC” Soil Fertility Replenishment Product on Performance of the Diversified Maize–Legume Intercrops in Western Kenya
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2011)
Western Kenya region is densely populated, with population densities ranging from 500 to 1200 persons/km2. This has resulted in reduced land sizes, continuous cropping, high rates of soil nutrient depletion, and food ...
Extracellular polymeric substances enhanced mass transfer of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the two-liquid-phase system for biodegradation
(Springer-Verlag, 2011-05-01)
The objective was to elucidate the role of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in two-liquid-phase system (TLPs). Therefore, biodegradation of phenanthrene (PHE) ...
Improved biodegradation of 1, 2, 4-trichlorobenzene by adapted microorganisms in agricultural soil and in soil suspension cultures
(Elsevier, 2011-08-01)
Inoculating soil with an adapted microbial community is a more effective bioaugmentation approach than inoculation with pure strains in bioremediation. However, information on the potential of different inocula from sites ...
Improved biodegradation of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene by adapted microorganisms in agricultural soil and in soil suspension cultures
(Pedosphere, 2011)
Inoculating soil with an adapted microbial community is a more effective bioaugmentation approach than inoculation with pure strains in bioremediation. However, information on the potential of different inocula from sites ...
Effects of autoclaving and mercuric chloride sterilization on PAHs dissipation in a two-liquid-phase soil slurry
(Elsevier, 2011-02-01)
A two-liquid-phase (TLP) soil slurry system was employed to quantify the efficiencies of autoclaving and mercuric chloride sterilization in the dissipation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The fates of 11 PAHs ...
Enhanced microbial degradation of humin-bound phenanthrene in a two-liquid-phase system
(Elsevier, 2011-02-28)
Humin, the main component of soil organic matter, greatly influences the nonlinear sorption and desorption hysteresis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil. However, little is known about the bioavailability ...
Chemical extraction to assess the bioavailability of chlorobenzenes in soil with different aging periods
(Springer-Verlag, 2011-12-01)
Bioavailability is mainly influenced by aging and desorption of contaminants in soil. The purpose of this study was to investigate the desorption kinetics of chlorobenzenes (CBs) in soil and to investigate whether chemical ...
Norms of Derivations Implemented by S-Universal Operators
(International Journal of Mathematical Analysis, 2011)
Let H be a complex Hilbert space and B(H) the algebra of all
bounded linear operators on H. For A, B ∈ B(H), we define inner
derivations implemented by A,B respectively on B(H) by ΔA(X) =
AX−XA, ΔB(X) = BX−XB and a ...
On the Generalized Reid Inequality and the Numerical Radii
(Applied Mathematical Sciences, 2011)
In this paper, we extend the generalized Reid inequality to include
the numerical radii for the product of two Hilbert space operators.

Interpersonal influences in the scale-up of male circumcision services in a traditionally non-circumcising community in rural western Kenya
(2011)
Promoting male circumcision (MC) is now recognized as an additional, important strategy for the
prevention of heterosexually acquired HIV infection in men, and plans are underway to scale-up this
intervention especially ...
