Responses of Humid Savanna Vegetation to the Interaction of Livestock Grazing and Rainfall Variability In Lambwe Valley, Kenya
(Maseno University, 2021)
Tsetse fly control in Lambwe valley has made the region habitable and opened it up for human settlement. The region has, therefore, experienced a steady increase in human population growth. Since most of the households in ...
The cooling effect of air on flat plate solar energy collectors
(Maseno university, 2021)
Use of solar energy devices requires that they be exposed to receive maximum solar radiation. Unfortunately, the intensity of solar radiation incident on these devices varies throughout the day with the position of the sun ...
Hydrothermal crystallization of zeolite catalysts using kaolin and volcanic ash materials for biodiesel synthesis from Jatropha curcas and waste cooking oils
(Maseno university, 2022)
Although biodiesel is a promising alternative source of energy, the cost of its production remains high because of the use of expensive feedstocks and catalysts. Zeolites derived from clay and volcanic ash as alternative ...
Genome-wide comparative study of epstein-barr virus genomic recombination in endemic burkitt lymphoma and healthy children from jootrh, western Kenya
(Maseno university, 2022)
Endemic Burkitt lymphoma (eBL), the most prevalent pediatric cancer in Western Kenya, is augmented by the interplay between Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and holoendemic malaria infection. Despite the relevance of genomic ...
Photon Anti-Bunching Properties of the Anti-Jaynes-Cummings Model
(Maseno university, 2021)
This thesis present anti-Jaynes interaction, an interaction where anti-rotating light mode
couples to a two-level atom. The anti-bunching properties of the anti-Jaynes-Cummings
model was explicitly demonstrated, a model ...
Residual diazinon in brassica oleracea var. Acephala and influence of application conditions on its levels in Kimira-oluch smallholder farmers improvement project, Kenya
(Maseno university, 2021)
Use of pesticides in agriculture often causes residual effects on crops with potential health risks. Diazinon, a synthetic pesticide whose dietary exposures have been associated with human health impacts is popular in the ...
HEMATOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS AS ALTERNATIVE MARKERS OF STOCKING DENSITY- INDUCED STRESS IN CULTURED NILE TILAPIA, (Oreochromis niloticus Linnaeus, 1758) UNDER CULTURE CONDITIONS.
(Maseno University, 2022)
Fish and fisheries play a significant role in meeting nutritional food security, more so of the poor communities in the low and middle income countries (LMIC).Oreochromis niloticusisone the most valuable warm water fishes ...
Geomagnetic field variations at African equatorial regions during the ascending phase of the solar cycle 24
(Maseno University, 2022)
The Earth’s magnetic field is the field of force that extends from the interior of the Earth to the outer space where it interconnects with the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF). It is characterized by regular and irregular ...
Relationship between the concentration of microcystin in serum and primary liver cancer in patients attending JOOTRH, Kisumu, Kenya
(Maseno University, 2022)
Microcystins (MCs) are toxins released by unicellular micro-organism known as cyanobacteria. These unicellular micro-organisms flourish in aquatic habitats with warm temperatures and nutrients rich water bodies. Microcystins ...
Experimental and computational studies of properties of thin films of cadmium-tin-oxide for manufacture of micro-electromechanical systems and for noise control
(Maseno University, 2022)
The recent advancement in electronics have stimulated the high demand for semiconductor substrate materials for the printing of electronic circuits, some of which are used in the Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) ...
