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 ...
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 ...
Enhancing climate action at grassroots levels in least developed countries: unlocking bio-briquetting opportunities for communities in Wajir, Vihiga, Kitui, and Kajiado counties in Kenya
(Inderscience Publishers (IEL), 2021)
Grassroots communities are often the hardest hit by climate change. They also appreciably contribute to the problem through activities like deforestation, land use changes, and cooking with firewood. Bio-briquettes from ...
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 ...
Ab initio study of elastic properties of orthorhombic cadmium stannate as a substrate for the manufacture of MEMS devices
(Science Direct, 2021)
The elastic properties of the orthorhombic cadmium stannate (Cd2SnO4) were investigated using density functional theory, applying both energy-strain relationship (which is found in the literature) and stress-strain ...
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 ...
Parasite diversity of introduced fish Lates niloticus, Oreochromis niloticus and endemic Haplochromis spp. of Lake Victoria, Kenya
(Springer, 2021)
This study reports on the status of metazoan fish parasites in Lake Victoria following the establishment of introduced Lates niloticus (Latidae) and Oreochromis niloticus (Cichlidae) and changes in environmental quality. ...
Synthesis and characterization of FSB@Fe3O4 composites and application in removal of indigo carmine dye from industrial wastewaters
(Springer, 2021)
The syntheses and characterization of fish scale biochar magnetic composites (FSB@Fe3O4) and their applications in the removal of indigo carmine dye from effluents are described. Preparation of the fish scale biochar ...
