Evaluation of anticonvulsant activity of extracts and isolates from Maytenus Heterophylla
(Maseno University, 2017)
Convulsion is a chronic neurological disorder that develops in up to 5% of the world’s
population with prevalence of nearly 88% occurring in Sub-Saharan Africa, prompting serious
medical, social, health related stigma ...
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 ...
Quantum entanglement properties of polarization states of a semi-classical optical parametric oscillator
(Maseno University, 2017)
Entanglement is a fundamental feature of quantum mechanics which originated from the 1935 paper of Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen (EPR) and has been demonstrated in many quantum systems for development of quantum technology. ...
Determination of Antimicrobial Resistance of Escherichia Coli Isolated From Rastrineobola Argentea and Water Samples From Lake Victoria - Kenya
(Maseno University, 2014)
Many strains of Escherichia coli can be pathogenic leading to diarrheal diseases. The occurrence of antimicrobial resistant bacteria is increasing in aquatic environments infecting fish which are later consumed by humans ...
Dissipation Rate of Chlorpirifos Within Mosquito Larvae Habitats In Maseno and its Activity Against the Larvae Relative to Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane
(Maseno University, 2016)
ABSTRACT
Despite more than a century of efforts to eradicate and control malaria, it still remains a major risk to public health and economies of countries in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Control of ...
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 ...
Pathogenicity of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Strigae strains on Striga Hermonthica (del) benth infesting maize (zea mays l.) and Maize performance in Siaya county, Kenya.
(Maseno University, 2016)
Striga hermonthica weed is the most widespread and noxious species that parasitises many economically important cereal crops including maize ( Zea mays L.) in sub-Saharan Africa. Striga is also called witchweed in the ...
Evaluation of the antagonistic effects of some actinomycetes species isolated from Maseno Soils on Pyricularia grisea infecting finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn).
(Maseno University, 2016)
Finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn) is one of the most important crops among the small millets. In Kenya yields are generally low, because of blast caused by the fungus Pyricularia grisea. Low finger-millet ...
Incidences and severity of Maize ear rot causing pathogens and response of selected Maize hybrids to diplodia (stenocarpella spp.) in selected counties in Nyanza region.
(Maseno University, 2016)
Maize (Zea mays) is a staple food grown in almost all agro-ecological zones in Kenya. The production output is very low (2.4 million tons annually) nationally. Nyanza region contributes about 5 million bags. This is not ...
Assessment of water deficit effects on agromorphological and physiological traits of six bambara groundnuts (vigna subterranea (l.) verdc.) landraces grown in Western and coastal regions of Kenya.
(Maseno University, 2016)
Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.) is one of the most neglected and under-utilized African legume with the potential to alleviate food insecurity and poverty in the tropical semi-arid regions of Africa. The ...
