Carpet Characteristics of Eichhornia Crassipes [Mart.] Solms (Water hyacinth) in the Winam Gulf (Lake Victoria, Kenya)
(Asian Economic and Social Society, 2017-07-01)
The occurrence and spread of the water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes [Mart.] Solms),
in the Winam gulf has created numerous attributes to the human population that live
around the lake, thereby making its control a ...
Comparison of in-house and commercial real time-PCR based carbapenemase gene detection methods in Enterobacteriaceae and non-fermenting gram-negative b...
(BioMed Central, 2017-12)
Background
Carbapenemase-producing gram-negative bacteria are increasing globally and have been associated with outbreaks in hospital settings. Thus, the accurate detection of these bacteria in infections is mandatory for ...
Altmann, Jeanne
(John Wiley & Sons, 2017-04-16)
Jeanne Altmann's attention to detail and remarkable sense of focus enabled her to overcome difficulties early in her career in order to give to science a wide‐ranging toolset, including her classic work on observational ...
Effects of Micronutrients on the Nutritional Status of Clonal Tea Replanted in Areas Where Old Tea Was Uprooted
(Journal of Tea Science Research, 2017-03-20)
Tea yields peak is 21-30 years after which yields decline. The declining productivity and moribuncy has been reported in many tea fields due to prolonged period of monoculture under tea, physicochemical and biological ...
Application of Nanotechnology for Enhanced Treatment of Tropical Diseases
(MMU, 2017-01-28)
The use of nanotechnology in drug delivery is a rapidly expanding field. Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary scientific undertaking that involves creation and utilization of materials, devices or systems on nanometer ...
Comparison of freeze and spray drying to obtain primaquine-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles
(IGI Global, 2017-07-01)
The spray drying and freeze drying of various nanosized Solid Lipid Nanoparticle and the physicochemical attributes of the acquired particles were examined. Primaquine loaded Solid Lipid Nanoparticles dried by the two ...
Molecular diversity, geographic distribution and host range of monocot-infecting mastreviruses in Africa and surrounding islands
(Elsevier, 2017)
Maize streak virus (MSV), an important pathogen of maize in Africa, is the most extensively studied member of the Mastrevirus genus in the family Geminiviridae. Comparatively little is known about other monocot-infecting ...
Influence of Climatic Factors on the Δ13c Values of the C3, C4 And CAM Dicot Species (Vegetation) of the Centrospermeaealong Altitudinal Gradient in western Region of Kenya
(Research Gate, 2017)
Species of the Centrospermeae occurring at different altitudes were analyzed for δ13C values and assigned for graphical representation. The aridity of the study area was evident as defined using the Klimadiagramm. Climatic ...
Ecological implications of the ẟ13C values of plant species growing in natural environment, greenhouse and plant respired carbon dioxide (captured as carbonate).
(Research Gate, 2017)
ẟ13C values have been used to differentiate the C3 plant species from the C4 species. Light isotope (12C) is favoured against the heavier isotope (13C) during the carbon fractionation in plant species. The ẟ13C valuesof ...
