Effect of Concentration of Reactants and Deposition Temperature on the Optical Properties of Iron-Doped Cadmium Stannate Thin Films Deposited On Glass Substrates by Spray Pyrolysis
(Maseno University, 2019)
Thin films (TFs) have numerous applications in the modern technological world, ranging from energy production in TF solar cells/ photovoltaic (PV) cells to liquid crystal displays (LCDs) in television screens and in ...
Evaluation of Α-Amylase and Α-Glucosidase Inhibitory Compounds from Zanthoxylum Chalybeum Stem and Root Bark.
(Maseno University, 2019)
Management of diabetes mellitus using conventional drugs is either unaffordable, unavailable or has undesirable side effects. Medicinal plants such as Zanthoxylum chalybeum (Rutaceae) have found prominence in management ...
Additive stabilization of plasmodium proteins present in dried infected blood specimens
(Maseno University, 2016)
Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are a great achievement to the implementation of parasite based diagnosis before treatment. They use a nitrocellulose strip coated with antibodies that target the Plasmodium antigens; ...
Serum-derived immune factors as correlates of Artemisinin-based combination therapy efficacy in treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Kombewa, Western Kenya
(Maseno University, 2018)
Artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) is recommended first-line treatment for malaria in a number of Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries. Recent reports of decline in efficacy of ACT and emergence of ACT resistant ...
Analysis of pyrethrum plant extract and its anti-aphid effect on growth, yields, chlorophyll and phytonutrient contents of African nightshades
(Maseno University, 2019)
African nightshades (Solanum scabrum) is one of indigenous vegetables widely consumed in Kenya. It is used for food, income and for medicinal purposes, but faces low yields due to severe damage by aphids. Yield losses due ...
Characterisation of phaeoisariopsis griseola, phytochemical screening and fungicidal activity of selected plant extracts against phaeoisariopsis griseola of common bean var. GLP 1127 mwezi moja
(Maseno University, 2019)
Common bean is an important legume and a cheap source of proteins. Phaeoisariopsis griseola causing Angular Leaf Spot disease (ALS) is a major constraint for common bean production in Kenya contributing to yield losses ...
Microbial and Physicochemical Parameters of River Kuywa Water in Bungoma County, Kenya
(Maseno University, 2019)
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. Physicochemical and biological factors influence ...
Effect of Glycine Max, Rastrineobola Argentea and Caridina Nilotica Meals on Water Quality, Growth Performance and Survival of Oreochromis Niloticus fry.
(Maseno University, 2019)
Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), one of the main stay of Lake Victoria fisheries, was introduced in the 1950s and 1960s to boost capture fisheries. However, its production has declined dramatically over the years due ...
Optical Properties of Seloo-Xbix Thin Films Deposited On Glass Substrates by Flash Evaporation Method
(Maseno University, 2014)
The global need for sustainable energy production is pushing scientific research towards the
development of inexpensive thin film solar cells which can compete with established
commercial silicon-based technologies. These ...
Microsatellites Polymorphism Within Pfnhe-L And Pfmdr-6 Genes in Association with ant malarial Drug Susceptibility in Kenyan Plasmodium Falciparum Isolates Circulating In 2010-2011
(Maseno University, 2014)
Drug resistance continues to undermine malaria control, threatening malaria elimination efforts.
Resistance to artemisinin has now been confirmed in Southeast Asia and quinine monotherapy
clinical failure, although rare, ...
