Developing a livelihood: conservation model for the Kakamega Forest region, Kenya using experiences from Berchtesgaden National Park, Germany
(Routledge, 2021)
Active participation of local community of Kakamega Forest in conservation has rather been elusive. Conservation efforts directed at the Forest have resulted into more resource use restrictions instead of access. Furthermore, ...
Phytochemical and antimicrobial properties of leaf extracts of Calliandra calothyrsus, Leucaena diversifolia and Sesbania sesban
(Bacterial Empire, 2020)
Phytochemical compounds are secondary metabolites of plants useful as antimicrobial agents. Botanicals are being explored for bioactive compounds with
antimicrobial properties against phytopathogens. Little information ...
A cross-sectional observational study investigating the association between sedges (swamp grasses, Cyperaceae) and the prevalence of immature malaria vectors in aquatic habitats along the shore of Lake Victoria, western Kenya
(Faculty of 1000 Ltd, 2020)
Strategies that involve manipulations of the odour-orientation of gravid malaria vectors could lead to novel attract-and-kill interventions. Recent work has highlighted the potential involvement of graminoid plants in ...
The effect of temperature and time on the properties of 2D Cs 2 ZnBr 4 perovskite nanocrystals and their application in a Schottky barrier device
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021)
2D hybrid perovskites are promising materials for solar cell applications, in particular, cesium-based
perovskite nanocrystals as they offer the stability that is absent in organic–inorganic perovskites. However, the most ...
Mediation Role of Revenue Management Practices on the Linkage between Hotel Determinants and Financial Performance of Hotels in Kenya
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2021)
The study aimed at investigating the mediation role of revenue management (RM) practices on the linkage between the internal and external hotel determinants and the financial performance of hotels in Kenya. The study used ...
Adsorption of copper ions from water onto fish scales derived biochar: Isothermal perspectives
(Journal of Materials and Environmental Science, 2020)
In this work, Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fish scales were used for the development
of an economical biochar (FSB) by slow pyrolysis at 600 oC. The FSB was characterized
using energy dispersive x-ray (EDX), x-ray ...
Conserved excitation number and U(1)-symmetry operators for the anti-rotating (anti-Jaynes-Cummings) term of the Rabi Hamiltonian
(Cornell University, 2021)
In this article we apply algebraic operator ordering property of the basic atom and field operators to construct and prove conservation of the excitation number operator of the anti-rotating (anti-Jaynes-Cummings) component ...
Uptake of conventional interventions, level of awareness and perception on computer vision syndrome: a cross-sectional study among University students, Kenya
(Ophthalmol J, 2021)
Awareness and perception are critical determinants in the uptake of a health intervention. This study
assessed the level of awareness and perception in relation to the uptake of interventions of computer vision syndrome
(CVS) ...
Ecosystem productivity and CO2 exchange response to the interaction of livestock grazing and rainfall manipulation in a Kenyan savanna
(Environmental and Sustainability Indicators, 2021)
Savanna ecosystems in Kenya are experiencing altered rainfall amount and increased grazing pressure. These environmental alterations occur simultaneously and impact on productivity and CO2 exchange of the savanna in unclear ...
Phytochemical Screening, Antioxidant Activity and Inhibitory Potential of Five Kenyan Medicinal Plants
(Journal of Advances in Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences(JAMPS), 2021)
The present study was conducted to evaluate preliminary phytochemical analysis and in vitro antioxidant activities of five plants (Olea europaea, Kigelia africana, Terminalia mollis, Croton macrostachyus and Bridella ...
