The natural pyrethrins and carotenoid pigments
(University of Nottingham, 1983)
The thesis describes the chemistry of some commercial
natural products obtained from plants indigenous to Kenya. The
natural products are the insecticidal 'pyrethrins' obtained from
flower heads of Chrysanthemum ...
Stability of Lie Groups of Nonlinear Hyperbolic Equations
(University of Pretoria, 1997)
Nonlinear theories, started in the 1960's, provided for the first time in the literature global generalized solutions for arbitrary continuous nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). These theories have now been ...
Distribution of the Water Hyacinth [Eichhornia Crassipes (Mart.) Solms.], Its Carpet Characteristics, Some of Its Diseases and Pests in the Winam Gulf of Lake Victoria
(Maseno University, 2002)
Theoccurrence of the Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes [Mart.] Solms) in the Winam
gulfhas created numerous negative attributes that make its control an urgent priority. Little
hasbeen reported about its carpet ...
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 ...
