Variations in Camellia sinensis (L) Leaf Nutrients and Polyphenols Levels with Genotypes, Nitrogenous Fertilizer Rates, Season and Plucking Intervals in Eastern Africa Tea Growing Regions
(Mase University, 2013)
In Eastern Africa, teas are grown in high rainfall areas causing fast nutrients depletion. Foliar nutrients diagnostic limits developed for seedling tea have been in use since 1970s and they have been adopted for clonal ...
Solutions of second-order partial differential equations in two independent variables using method of characteristics
(nternational Journal of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences, 2013-06-01)
In this paper we have classified second order linear PDEs into three types, hyperbolic, parabolic and elliptic. Hyperbolic equations have two distinct families of (real) characteristic curves, parabolic equations have a ...
Striga infestation in Kenya: status, distribution and management options
(Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2013)
Striga spp. is considered to be the greatest biological constraint to food production in sub-Saharan Africa, a more
serious problem than insects, birds and plant diseases. They are among the most specialized root-parasitic ...
Elementary partial differential equations
(Lambert, 2013-06-01)
The importance of partial differential equations cannot be gainsaid. They are used in science and engineering. Many natural phenomena such as sound, heat, electrostatics, electrodynamics, fluid flow etc occurring in science ...
Interleukin (IL)-13 promoter polymorphisms (-7402 T/G and-4729G/A) condition susceptibility to pediatric severe malarial anemia but not circulating IL-13 levels
(BioMed Central, 2013-12-01)
In holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission areas such as western Kenya, severe malarial anemia [SMA, hemoglobin (Hb) < 6.0 g/dL, with any density parasitemia] is the most common clinical manifestation of severe ...
Effects of faujasite X and Y zeolites on the 1, 1, 1-trichloro-2, 2’bis (p-chlorophenyl) ethane (DDT) degradation during water purification
(2013)
The ability of zeolites to abstract and denature organochloride pesticides finds application in
water purification practices. In this study, activated faujasite X and Y zeolites were separately
exposed to 1, 2 and 4 ...
Sickle cell trait is not associated with endemic Burkitt lymphoma: An ethnicity and malaria endemicity-matched case–control study suggests factors controlling EBV may serve as a predictive biomarker for this pediatric cancer
(International Journal of Cancer, 2013)
Endemic Burkitt lymphoma (eBL) is associated with Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) and Plasmodium falciparum coinfections. Malaria appears to dysregulate immunity that would otherwise control EBV, thereby contributing to eBL ...
Effects of Conduction and Variable Properties On a Two Dimensional Conjugate Heat Transfer of a Nanofluid in a Microchannel
(International Scientific Press, 2013-10-01)
In this paper we analyze the effects of conduction and variable properties on a two dimensional conjugate heat transfer of a nanofluid containing a mixture of two fluids namely, Aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and water. Nanoparticles ...
Supporting Information for: Rheological Properties of Blends of Isotactic Polystyrene–
(2013)
Figure S1: Optical micrographs and atomic force microscopy (AFM) images for the 95% iPpMS–5% iPS binary system dewetted at 𝑇dew= 240℃ and at different incubation times.(a) shows a 200 nm film before the dewetting ...
Effects of zeolite X on dissipation of hexazinone from agricultural waste waters in Western KenyaEffects of zeolite X on dissipation of hexazinone from agricultural waste waters in Western Kenya
(2013)
Dissipation of hexazinone in Zeolite X treated wastewater followed pseudo first-order
kinetics giving a calculated half-life of 41 days compared to a half-life of 144 days in
untreated wastewater. The herbicide degraded ...
