Malaria diagnosis in rural healthcare facilities and treatment-seeking behavior in malaria endemic settings in western Kenya
(Maseno University, 2023)
Accurate diagnosis and timely treatment are central requirements for effective malaria
management in communities. However, in resource-constrained settings, healthcare facilities are
likely to be few, inaccessible, and ...
A comparison of the Laplace and the alternative multipole expansion series for the Coulomb potential
(Research Gate, 2023)
Multipole expansion is a powerful technique used in many-body physics to solve dynamical problems involving correlated interactions between constituent particles. The Laplace multipole expansion series of the Coulomb ...
Variations in soil pH, N, P and K due to influence of rates, split applications of nitrogen fertilizer and ratoon crop of sugarcane varieties
(ResearchGate, 2023)
Fertilizer Best Management Practices (BMPs) include soil testing that is
performed to determine the availability of essential elements for profitable and
productive yields of crops. The objective of this research was to ...
Effects of weed control methods on weeds and productivity of range grasses in semi-arid Kenya
(Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2023)
Background: Weeds are a common occurrence and challenge in different crops eventually influencing crop development and yields. Weed control and management are key in enhancing the productivity of cultivated pastures. In ...
Inhibition Kinetics and Theoretical Studies on Zanthoxylum chalybeum Engl. Dual Inhibitors of α-Glucosidase and α-Amylase
(MDPI, 2023)
Compounds from Zanthoxylum chalybeum Engl. were previously reported for inhibitory activities of amylase and glucosidase enzymatic action on starch as a preliminary study toward the establishment of a management strategy ...
Acoustical properties of compressed earth blocks: Effect of compaction pressure, water hyacinth ash and lime
(Elsevier, 2023)
This study assessed the potential use of a mixture of lime and water hyacinth ash (WHA) as binders in fabrication of cylindrical compressed earth blocks (CEBs) with good acoustic absorption properties for building and ...
Chlorophyll Content Index and Yield Responses of Maize and Banana Plants under Calliandra calothyrsus, Sesbania sesban and Leucaena diversifolia Intercropping in Vihiga County, Kenya
(Asian Journal of Research in Botany, 2023)
High population has led to more demand for food. Subsequently, there is need to expand
agricultural land. This has necessitated cutting down of trees. This has led to soil degradation.
Nutrient depleted soils and poor ...
Hydrothermal synthesis of zeolites using silica extracted from tropical volcanic ash
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023)
This study addresses the reliance on costly aluminosilicate sources for the synthesis of zeolites by exploring the use of silica extracted from tropical volcanic ash. The volcanic ash contained CaO, in the form of calcite ...
A Generalization of Poiseuille’s Law for the Flow of a Self-Similar (Fractal) Fluid through a Tube Having a Fractal Rough Surface
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2023-01)
In this paper, a generalization of Poiseuille’s law for a self-similar fluid flow through a tube having a rough surface is proposed. The originality of this work is to consider, simultaneously, the self-similarity structure ...
Removal of endosulfan from water by municipal waste incineration fly ash-based geopolymers: Adsorption kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics
(ResearchGate, 2023-03-23)
Alkali-activated municipal waste incineration fly ash (MWFA)-based geopolymers
(GPA, GPB, and GPC) were synthesized under different sodium silicate to sodium
hydroxide (SS/SH) ratios. The geopolymers were applied in the ...
