Effects of cropping systems and agricultural lime on soil properties and nutrient content of sugarcane on acidified soils of Kisumu County, Kenya
(American Journal of Agriculture and Forestry, 2016-07-23)
Acid soils cause soil fertility problems such as Al and Mn toxicity, Ca, Mg, N deficiency and P fixation. These are
constraints to high crop yields. Historically, liming is the common management practice used to neutralize ...
Epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance among Escherichia coli strains in Trans-Nzoia County, Kenya
(Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2016-04-04)
This study aimed to determine prevalence, antimicrobial susceptibility profile and the genetic basis to antimicrobial resistance, targeting blaTEM gene expression of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli among patients suffering ...
Spatial distribution and temporal trend in concentration of carbofuran, diazinon and chlorpyrifos ethyl residues in sediment and water in Lake Naivasha, Kenya
(Springer, 2012)
Chlorpyrifos ethyl was found to be widely distributed in water and sediment in Lake Naivasha. Higher
levels were reported in sediment (11.2–30.0 ng g-1 dry
weight (dw) in wet season than in dry season (4.7–17.4 ng
g-1 ...
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 ...
Impact of Agronomic Inputs in Sugarcane Farming on River Kuywa Surface Water Quality Traversing Sugarcane zones in Western Kenya.
(Maasai mara university, 2011)
For sustainable agriculture, the health of people indulged in this activity is paramount. Disease causative agents in these areas should be constantly checked and mitigation measures taken. This research determined levels ...
Mathematical modelling of wind turbine in a wind energy conversion system: Power coefficient analysis
(2012-01)
The world is increasingly going green in its energy use. Wind power is a green renewable source of energy that can compete effectively with fossil fuel as a generator of power in the electricity market. For this effective ...
Numerical solutions of the Burgers’ system in two dimensions under varied initial and boundary conditions
(2012)
In this paper, we generate varied sets of exact initial and Dirichlet boundary conditions for the 2-D Burgers’ equations from general analytical solutions via Hopf-Cole transformation and separation of variables. These ...
Steady MHD poiseuille flow between two infinite parallel porous plates in an inclined magnetic field
(2012)
In this paper, we examine the motion of a two dimensional steady flow of a viscous, electrically conducting, incompressible fluid flowing between two infinite parallel porous plates under the influence of transverse magnetic ...
