Prevalence and intensity of Paracamallanus species infection in farmed and wild catfish
(Kenya Veterinarian 35 (1), 25-32, 2011)
A total of 108 randomly selected farmed and wild Clarias gariepinus (catfish) obtained from the upper Tana river basin were examined for intestinal helminthes between July 2007 and April 2008. Over fifty two per cent (52.8 ...
Trypanosoma infection in carrier fish of Lake Victoria, Kenya.
(PW Kamundia, PG Mbuthia, RM Waruiru, LW Njagi, PN Nyaga, RH Mdegela, DK Byarugaba, RO Otieno, 2010)
The carrier status of the haemoparasite in fish was investigated in randomly selected Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and Nile perch (Lates niloticus). Blood was drawn from the heart using needle and syringe from ...
Dewetting Rheology for Determining Viscoelastic Properties of Nonequilibrated Thin Polymer Films
(American Chemical Society, 2019)
We performed systematic dewetting experiments on isotactic poly(para-methylstyrene) (iPpMS) films to explore the temperature dependence of the viscoelastic behavior of these films. We quantified the amount of residual ...
Rheological Properties of Blends of Isotactic Polystyrene–Isotactic Poly(para-methylstyrene) Films Derived from a Comparative Dewetting Study
(American Chemical Society, 2020)
We examined changes in rheological properties of nonequilibrated spin-coated thin films of isotactic polystyrene (iPS) and isotactic poly(para-methylstyrene) and blends thereof by dewetting experiments. For 200 nm thick ...
Investigation of the Effect of Film Thickness on the Optical Properties of Amorphous Se85-xTe15Sbx Thin Films
(Africa Journal of Physical Sciences, 2014)
Amorphous thin films of Se85-xTe15Sbx (x = 0.0, 0.5, 2.5, and 5.0 at. %) deposited by flash evaporation technique, have been investigated in the wavelength range of 500nm-3000nm. It is found that the effect of increasing ...
Nitrogen Doping of Hexagonal and Cubic Ge2Sb2Te5 Nanocrystals: An Ab Initio Study
(World Scientific Publishing Company, 2018)
The effect of nitrogen doping on the structural, electronic and optical properties of hexagonal and cubic Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) has been investigated from first principles. The nitrogen content was set to 10 at.% and 25 at.%, ...
Antioxidant activities oftriacontanyl-E-cinnamoatesmetabolites from Caesalpinia volkensii root bark extracts
(Research gate, 2017)
Natural antioxidants have been reported to prevent oxidative damage caused by free radicals generated during biochemical processes
and thus useful in prevention of several degenerative diseases. The present study evaluated ...
Effect of Reverse Bias on Dye-Sensitized Technology: Lessons for Application in PV-Integrated Textile Fabric Designs Useable in Wajir, Vihiga, Kitui and Kajiado Counties in Kenya
(Journal of Technology Innovations in Renewable Energy, 2018)
This paper reports on the effect of reverse bias (RB) on dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) that were investigated outdoor in Wajir (1o4450 North, 40o 4 8 East), Vihiga (35o0 East, 0o15 North), Kitui (3o 0 South, 37o 50 ...
Energy Resources in East Africa
(Springer, Cham, 2015)
When talking about East Africa, traditionally this refers to the states of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania with a combined population of over 120 million people in 2014. The three countries have a long history of association ...
α-Amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitors from Zanthoxylum chalybeum Engl. root bark
(Elsevier, 2020-10-01)
A systematic analysis of the root bark of Zanthoxylum chalybeum was conducted to establish the antidiabetic potential of isolated compounds based on its ethnomedicinal use to manage diabetes. Chromatographic separation of ...
