Sorption of sulfonamides by γ-fe2o3 modified natural clay: Isotherms, Kinetics and Thermodynamics studies
(Maseno University, 2018)
ABSTRACT In recent years, research has indicated the ...
Additive effects of DRAGONFLY (Pantala Flavescens) Nymph and Fungus (Beauveria Bassiana) on development and survival of Malaria Mosquito (Anopheles gambiae)
(Maseno University, 2018)
Malaria continues to be a world-wide human health problem. Insecticide resistance challenge efficacy and sustainability of malaria control programs and therefore call for sustainable malaria control strategies. Environmental ...
Effects and the relationship between nitrogenous fertilizer application rates and plucking intervals on some soil quality indicators and yield of tea (Camellia Sinensis (l.) in eastern Africa tea growing regions
(Maseno University, 2018)
Eastern Africa tea is grown in high rainfall areas causing high nutrients depletion through leaching and surface run-off. Nutrients are also removed with harvested crop. The depletion requires nutrients replenishment through ...
Susceptibility patterns and tolerance mechanisms of Staphylococcus Epidermidis biofilms to Physico-chemical stress exposure
(Maseno University, 2018)
Bacterial biofilms remain a major public health burden. Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm is the predominant cause of biofilm-associated infections. Kisumu county has a high circulation of antibiotic resistance genes, ...
Survey of greenhouse gas fluxes from different vegetation, seasons and landscape units in small scale farming systems in lower Nyando-Kenya
(Maseno University, 2018)
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions data from large-scale agricultural activities are available. In developing countries, e.g. Kenya, agriculture is dominated by smallholder farming, data on the assessment of possible ...
Dependence of temperature variation on the shape factor of a Solar Parabolic trough concentrator (ptc)
(Maseno University, 2018)
Solar radiation energy incident on a collector can be converted into electricity using PV cells or thermal energy by means of solar thermal collectors. Solar radiation intensity is sometimes lower than required for suitable ...
Differences in Antibacterial resistance profiles and genes between Escherichia coli isolates from humans and black rhinoceros in Lambwe Valley, Kenya.
(Maseno University, 2018)
Antimicrobials have been in use for decades in disease management, but emergence of resistant pathogens such as Escherichia coli have rendered its future of concern to public health. Increased human-wildlife interaction ...
Comparison of Genexpert and line probe assay for detection of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis and Rifampicin mono-resistance in Kenya
(Maseno University, 2018)
substantial human morbidity and mortality globally. About 10.4 million TB cases and 1.4 million deaths worldwide were reported in 2015. Kenya is among the 22 countries with highest TB burden. Microscopy is routinely used ...
Effect of NPK blended fertilizer application on soil Physico-Chemical Properties, Growth, physiology and yield of two finger millet (Eleusine coracana L. Gaertn.) varieties grown in acidic soils of Kakamega Western Kenya.
(Maseno University, 2018)
Finger millet is one of the most important cereal crops in Kenya. It is staple food rich in minerals and vitamins required for good health. Finger millet is a hardy crop compared to other cereals and it is for this reason ...
Prevalence of sickle cell trait and glucose-6-phosphate Dehydrogenase deficiency and their association with immunoglobulin- G antibody responses to selected Plasmodium Falciparum Antigens in Kanyawegi sub-location, Western Kenya
(Maseno University, 2018)
The prevalence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency and sickle cell trait (SCT) may vary within very close localities in malaria endemic areas due to dynamics in malaria incidence and demographics. ...
