Nitrogenous Fertilizer Rates and Plucking Intervals Effects on Soil Organic Carbon, pH and Tea Yields and Their Relationships in Eastern Africa Tea Growing Regions
(International Society of Tea Science, 2020)
Eastern Africa tea grows in high rainfall areas where nutrients depletion through leaching, and surface run-off can be high, in addition to removal with crop. Nutrients replenishment through fertilizer applications is ...
Direct and indirect effects of predation and parasitism on the Anopheles gambiae mosquito
(BioMed Central, 2020-01-30)
A good understanding of mosquito ecology is imperative for integrated vector control of malaria. In breeding sites, Anopheles larvae are concurrently exposed to predators and parasites. However, to our knowledge, there is ...
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 ...

Microplastics as Emerging Contaminants: Occurrence, Toxicology, and Analysis
(IG1 Global publishers of timely knowledge, 2020)
The ever-increasing production of plastics and concomitant poor plastic waste disposal systems explain the recent rising concerns over the occurrence of microplastics in freshwater resources. Microplastics are presently ...
Annealing efect on the structural and optical behavior of ZnO:Eu3+ thin flm grown using RF magnetron sputtering technique and application to dye sensitized solar cells
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020)
Eu-doped ZnO (ZnO:Eu3+) thin flms deposited by RF magnetron sputtering have been investigated to
establish the efect of annealing on the red photoluminescence. PL spectra analysis reveal a correlation
between the ...
Structural, Magnetic And Electronic Properties Of NbN Polymorphs By Ab-Initio Study
(2020)
The structural, electronic and
magnetic properties of NbN are studied by ab initio method by considering the four polymorphs
{B1 (rock salt), B4 (wurtzite), B81 (NiAs) and Bh
(WC-type)} of NbN. The results show that ...
The effectiveness of local strains of Fusarium oxysporium f. Sp. Strigae to control Striga hermonthica on local maize in western Kenya
(Wiley.com, 2020)
triga hermonthica weed infestation continues to persist among smallholder poor farmers in Kenya who depend on traditional maize (Zea mays L.) seeds for their livelihood. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy ...
Probing the stoichiometry dependent catalytic activity of nickel selenide counter electrodes in the redox reaction of iodide/triiodide electrolyte in dye sensitized solar cells
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020)
Nickel selenide (NixSey) systems have received much attention in recent years as potential low cost counter
electrodes (CEs) in dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Their electrocatalytic activities are comparable to ...
Covid-19 Evolution: Analysis of Public Health Countermeasures in Kenya.
(Research gate, 2020)
Millions of people across the globe are currently at a risk of infection of SARS-Cov-2,
have been infected and others have died. The coronavirus has spread worldwide despite
the multiple countermeasures to limits its ...
