EFFECT OF SALINITY ON GROWTH AND LEAF YIELD OF SPIDERPLANT (Cleome Gynandra L.)
(2014)
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of salinity (NaCl) on growth and leaf yield of spiderplant. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design (CRD) with four replicates. Seeds of spiderplant ...
Co-administration of Albendazole and Levamisole to control multiple anthelmintic resistant nematodes in a sheep farm in Kabete Kenya
(Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources, 2014)
Albendazole (ABZ) and levamisole (LEV) were co-administered to evaluate their ability to control natural helminth infections in a sheep farm where resistance to the individual anthelmintic had previously been reported. ...
Pathological Changes in Oreochromis Niloticus and Lates Niloticus in Kisumu and Homa Bay, Lake Victoria, Kenya
(MMU, 2014)
Histopathology as a tool for assessing fish health in an aquatic system is an important, but has not been extensively used in East Africa. Due to scarcity of data on the histopathology of the Oreochromis niloticus and Lates ...
Investigation of the Effect of Film Thickness on the Optical Properties of Amorphous Se85-xTe15Sbx Thin Films
(Africa Journal of Physical Sciences, 2014)
Amorphous thin films of Se85-xTe15Sbx (x = 0.0, 0.5, 2.5, and 5.0 at. %) deposited by flash evaporation technique, have been investigated in the wavelength range of 500nm-3000nm. It is found that the effect of increasing ...
Potential of novel phytoecdysteroids isolated from Vitex doniana in the treatment depression: Involvement of monoaminergic systems
(Elsevier, 2014-12-01)
Vitex doniana Sweet (Verbanaceae) is used in traditional African medicine for the treatment of neurological disorders including depression. In our previous studies, three new phytoecdysteroids were isolated from methanol ...
Aquaculture strategy for restoration of Threatened Lake Victoria fishes: The case for Oreochromis variabilis (Boulenger, 1906) and Labeo victorianus (Boulenger, 1901)
(KMFRI Sangoro Aquaculture Research Station, PO Box 136, PAP-ONDITI, Kenya, 2 School of Environmental Studies, Moi University, PO Box 3900, ELDORET, Kenya, 2014)
The endemic Oreochromis variabilis and L. victorianus are among Lake Victoria’s most threatened fish species whose population sizes are on the decline. This study, carried out between August 2000 and April 2001, aimed at ...
Quiet Time Geomagnetic Field Variations in the Equatorial East African Region During the Inclining Phase of Solar Cycle 24
(Science Publishing Group, 2014)
In the present paper, geomagnetic field data obtained from magnetometer measurements at two ground based
stations have been used to study solar activity dependence of the solar quiet variations. The study has focused on ...
Evaluation of soil washing process with carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin and carboxymethyl chitosan for recovery of PAHs/heavy metals/fluorine from metallurgic plant...
(Elsevier, 2014-08-01)
Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)/heavy metals/fluorine (F) mixed-
contaminated sites caused by abandoned metallurgic plants are receiving wide attention. To
address the associated environmental problems, ...
Evaluation of enhanced soil washing process and phytoremediation with maize oil, carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin, and vetiver grass for the recovery of organochlorin...
(Academic Press, 2014-08-01)
Abstract An innovative ex situ soil washing technology was developed in this study to
remediate organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and heavy metals in a mixed contaminated
site. Elevated temperature (60 C) combined with ...
Role of cosubstrate and bioaccessibility played in the enhanced anaerobic biodegradation of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in a paddy soil by nitrate and methyl...
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2014-07-01)
Abstract The present study was conducted to investigate the anaerobic biodegradation
potential of biostimulation by nitrate (KNO 3) and methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MCD) addition on
an aged organochlorine pesticide ...
