Bioactivity of Endophytes from Calliandra calothyrsus, Leucaena diversifolia and Sesbania sesban Against Cercospora zeae-maydis
(International Journal of Research and Scientific Innovation, 2020)
Endophytes are microorganisms that accomplish parts
of their life cycle within living host tissues without causing
apparent damage to the plants. Endophytes confer survival
advantage to the plant as they play a role in ...
Sources, distribution, and risk assessment of organochlorine pesticides in Nairobi City, Kenya
(Elsevier, 2020-01-10)
The distribution and sources of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in air and surface waters were monitored in Nairobi City using triolein-filled semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs). The SPMDs were extracted by dialysis ...
Simultaneous quantification of acetaminophen and tryptophan using a composite graphene foam/Zr-MOF film modified electrode
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020)
A graphene foam/zirconium-based metal–organic framework composite (GF/UiO-66) was synthesised and then employed to modify glassy carbon electrodes (GCE). These modified electrodes were successfully used for the simultaneous ...
Removal of Dyes From Wastewater by Adsorption Onto Low-Cost Adsorbents
(IGI Global, 2020)
This chapter describes an up-to-date critique of the use of adsorption as a wastewater treatment technique for the removal of dyes. The topics range from the classification of dyes, their occurrence in water and toxicity, ...
Microstructural and Elastic Properties of Stable Aluminium-rich TiAl and TiAl2 Formed Phase Intermetallics
(North-Holland, 2021)
We studied aluminium-rich Ti-Al (Ti32Al68 and Ti40Al60) binary alloys that were composed of TiAl and TiAl2 lamellar microstructures. The law of mixtures was employed in calculating the theoretical Young’s moduli. The lattice ...
Longitudinal Trajectories of Four Domains of Parenting in Relation to Adolescent Age and Puberty in Nine Countries
(Child development, 2021)
Children, mothers, and fathers in 12 ethnic and regional groups in nine countries (N = 1,338 families) were interviewed annually for 8 years (Mage child = 8–16 years) to model four domains of parenting as a function of ...
Four Domains Of Parenting In Kenya
(Routledge, 2021)
The goals of this study were to track changes in parental warmth and rules/limit-setting over time and to examine parents’ age at the time of their child’s birth, parents’ education, and child gender in relation to changes ...
Association Between Visual Acuity, Ocular Pathology and Refractive Error with Computer Vision Syndrome: Cross Sectional University Study in Kenya
(Research squire, 2020)
Background: Numerous factors have been shown to reduce symptomatic and non-symptomatic forms for
computer vision syndrome. However, little is known on the impact among computer users diagnosed with
severe symptoms of ...
Determinants of revenue management practices and their impacts on the financial performance of hotels in Kenya: a proposed theoretical framework
(SpringerOpen, 2021)
This conceptual paper aims at identifying a theoretical framework for the determinants of revenue management (RM) practices and their impacts on the financial performance of hotels. To create this framework, a two-phased ...
Investigation of long acoustic waveguides for the very low frequency characterization of monolayer and stratified air-saturated poroelastic materials
(Elsevier, 2021)
When sound propagates in a porous medium, it is attenuated via several energy loss mechanisms which are switched on or off as the excitation frequency varies. The classical way of measuring acoustic energy loss in porous ...
