Rapid detection of carbapenemase-producing Acinetobacter baumannii and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae using a bioluminescence-based phenotypic...
(Elsevier, 2014-04-01)
Accurate detection of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and carbapenemase-producing carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter spp. (CP-CRA) constitutes a major challenge in laboratory diagnostics. We developed a ...
Allelopathic effects of mexican sunflower [tithonia diversifolia (hemsl) a. Gray] on germination and growth of cowpea seedlings (vigna sinensis)
(2014)
Allelopathy is a common among plants. Allelopathic substances affect seed
germination, plant growth and development or even affect chlorophyll
synthesis by the plant leaves. Tithonia diversifolia contains allelochemicals

Mathematical model of variable speed pitch regulated turbine in a wind energy conversion system
(2014)
Pitch control of wind turbine in a wind energy conversion system involves the change of the rotor blade pitch angle along the rotor axis. Most compa-nies are faced with the challenge of maintaining a steady and optimal ...
Effect of Ga Incorporation and Film Thickness on the Optical Properties of as-Deposited Amorphous GaxSel-x Thin Films
(University if Nairobi Research archive, 2014)
Flash evaporated amorphous GaxSe1-x (x = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 atomic %) on glass substrates have been
investigated within a 500nm-1500nm spectral range. Film thicknesses explored were ; 200±10nm, 265±10nm,
330±10nm, and ...
Efficacy of long lasting insecticidal nets compromised by insecticide resistance

Complex Spacetime Frame: Four-Vector Identities and Tensors
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2014)
This paper provides derivation of some basic identities for complex four-component vectors defined in a complex four-dimensional spacetime frame specified by an imaginary temporal axis.
The resulting four-vector identities ...
Soil fertility dynamics in Bambara groundnuts (Vigna Subterranea) and Nerica rice (Oryza Sativa) intercrop system in small holder farms in Western Kenya.
(Dynamic Network for Research Works, 2014)
Agricultural production in Kenya has stagnated since 1980s resulting in malnutrition in over 89% of Kenya’s population. Food insecurity has been identified as the prime cause of malnutrition. Low agricultural productivity ...
The benefits and challenges emanating from community policing in Kenya: A Criminological Perspective
(International Journal of Innovation and Scientific Research, 2014)
Community policing is an integral component in ensuring that there is no insecurity in the community. More so,
the Kenyan government in the Kibaki regime introduced the concept of community policing which was seen as ...
