Distribution of arsenic, silver, cadmium, lead and other trace elements in water, sediment and macrophytes in the Kenyan part of Lake Victoria: spatial, temporal and bioindicative aspects
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2020-01)
This is the first detailed report on the distribution of Ni, As, Sr and Ag in water, sediments and macrophytes from Lake Victoria,
complemented with recent data on the heavy metals Cr, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb. The study was ...
Determination of reference intervals for common chemistry and immunoassay tests for Kenyan adults based on an internationally harmonized protocol and up-to-date statistical methods
(Public Library of Science, 2020)
Due to a lack of reliable reference intervals (RIs) for Kenya, we set out to determine RIs for
40 common chemistry and immunoassay tests as part of the IFCC global RI project.
SCINDA-GPS derived TEC depletions and amplitude scintillations over Kisumu, Kenya during selected quiet and storm days of 2013 and 2014
(International Journal of Advanced Astronomy, 2020)
Total Electron Content (TEC) depletion and amplitude scintillation (S4) can be derived from, SCINDA-GPS receivers situated in various
parts of the equatorial region. In this paper we present results of characterization ...

Phytochemistry and insecticidal activity of Annona mucosa leaf extracts against Sitophilus zeamais and Prostephanus truncatus
(Taylor and Francis, 2020)
A new oleanane type triterpene characterized as 3a, 24-diacetoxy 12-oleanene (1) together with known compounds 2-10, were
isolated from Annona mucosa leaf extracts. Their structural eluci dation was accomplished using ...
Bioactive Analysis of Auricularia Delicata: Extraction, Purification, and Characterization of Polysaccharides from Auricularia Delicata-Morocco Forest
(Academia, 2020)
Auricularia mushrooms are bioactive compounds which are mostly polysaccharides.
Many studies have shown the use of Auricularia from wild mushroom for medicinal
purposes such as antioxidant, antidiabetic, antitumor, ...
Phytochemical and antimicrobial properties of leaf extracts of Calliandra calothyrsus, Leucaena diversifolia and Sesbania sesban
(Bacterial Empire, 2020)
Phytochemical compounds are secondary metabolites of plants useful as antimicrobial agents. Botanicals are being explored for bioactive compounds with
antimicrobial properties against phytopathogens. Little information ...
A cross-sectional observational study investigating the association between sedges (swamp grasses, Cyperaceae) and the prevalence of immature malaria vectors in aquatic habitats along the shore of Lake Victoria, western Kenya
(Faculty of 1000 Ltd, 2020)
Strategies that involve manipulations of the odour-orientation of gravid malaria vectors could lead to novel attract-and-kill interventions. Recent work has highlighted the potential involvement of graminoid plants in ...
Adsorption of copper ions from water onto fish scales derived biochar: Isothermal perspectives
(Journal of Materials and Environmental Science, 2020)
In this work, Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fish scales were used for the development
of an economical biochar (FSB) by slow pyrolysis at 600 oC. The FSB was characterized
using energy dispersive x-ray (EDX), x-ray ...
The role of complement immune response on artemisinin-based combination therapy in a population from malaria endemic region of Western Kenya
(Springer, 2020)
Naturally acquired immunity (NAI), which is characterized by protection against overt clinical disease
and high parasitaemia, is acquired with age and transmission intensity. The role of NAI on the efcacy of anti-malarial ...
