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, ...
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 ...
Stocking density induced stress on plasma cortisol and whole blood glucose concentration in Nile Tilapia fish (Oreochromis niloticus) of Lake Victoria, Kenya
(Hindawi, 2020)
Effects of high stocking densities (HSDs) were evaluated for Nile tilapia fish (Oreochromis niloticus) under culture to determine its
influence on plasma cortisol and whole blood glucose concentration. Plasma cortisol ...
Antibiotic Resistance of Escherichia coli from Humans and Black Rhinoceroses in Kenya
(Springer US, 2020)
Upsurge of antibiotic resistance in wildlife poses unprecedented threat to wildlife conservation. Surveillance of antibiotic resistance at the human-wildlife interface is therefore needed. We evaluated differences in ...
Controlling the reactivity of [Pd(II)(N^N^N)Cl]+ complexes using 2,6-bis(pyrazol-2-yl)pyridine ligands for biological application: Substitution reactivity, CT-DNA interactions and in vitro cytotoxicity study
(Elsevier, 2020)
Four [(N^N^N)Pd(II)Cl]+ complexes [chloride-(2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine)Pd(II)]Cl (PdL1), [chlorido(2,6-bis(N-pyrazol-2-yl)pyridine)Pd(II)]Cl (PdL2), [chlorido(2,6-bis(3,5-dimethyl-N-pyrazol-2-yl)pyridine)Pd(II)]Cl (PdL3) and ...

Multipole expansion of integral powers of cosine theta
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020-11-18)
Legendre polynomials form the basis for multipole expansion of spatially varying functions. The technique allows for decomposition of the function into two separate parts with one depending on the radial coordinates only ...
