Rheological properties of non-equilibrium thin polymer films via dewetting for advanced nanophotonic systems
(Maseno University, 2021)
Advanced nano-devices require the tuning of the size and shape of nanostructures with nanometre-scale precision over a large area. These rigid requirements are beyond the reach of conventional lithographic techniques or ...
Diversity, Antagonistic Potential of Endophytes, Phytochemicals and Antimicrobial Activity of Selected Agroforestry Trees Against Xanthomonas Campestris Pv. Musacearum and Cercospora Zeae-Maydis
(Maseno University, 2020)
Maize and banana yields have continued to decline due to pests and diseases such as grey leaf spot (GLS) of maize and Xanthomonas wilt of bananas caused by Cercospora zeae-maydis and Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum ...
Physiological, biochemical and yield responses of maize and banana plants under Calliandra calothyrsus, Sesbania sesban and Leucaena diversifolia intercropping in Vihiga county, Kenya
(2022)
Increasing population leads to demand for more food. Consequently, there is need to expand agricultural land, necessitating cutting down of trees. This however, leads to soil degradation. Nutrient depleted soils and poor ...
Synthesis and characterization of fish scales (Oreochromis niloticus) derived biochar and magnetic composites and their application in removal of anionic indigo carmine and cationic crystal violet dyes from synthetic and industrial wastewater
(Maseno University, 2022)
The global and regional increase in demand for textile products have led to increased quantities of dye wastewater in the environment, which is a potential source of carcinogenic compounds. This situation not only hampers ...
Evaluation of morphophysiological, biochemical and yield responses of Bambara groundnut landraces to sodium chloride salinity
(Maseno University, 2022)
Soil salinity limits crop growth, development and productivity in agricultural soils worldwide and contributes to food insecurity. It is induced by accumulation of high levels of particularly sodium and chloride ions within ...
Influence of landscape heterogeneity on plasmodium infection in Nyakach sub-county, western Kenya
(Maseno University, 2022)
Despite scaled up intervention strategies in Kenya, existing control and treatment tools have not suppressed Plasmodium infection. Persistence of malaria has been attributed to submicroscopic infection with densities too ...
Entanglement of atom-field states in the anti-Jaynes-Cummings interaction: rabi oscillations and quantum teleportation of entangled atomic qubits
(Maseno University, 2023)
The quantum Rabi model (QRM), the simplest single-mode spin-boson model, was
initially simplified using rotating wave approximation (RWA), yielding the Jaynes Cummings (JC) model in rotating frame (RF). The QRM was later ...
