Comparison of Variations in Soil-Foliar Nutrients Levels and Productivity of Three Ratoon-Sugarcane Cultivars Due to Nitrogen-Potash Rates and Harvesting Age in Western Kenya
(2016)
Sugarcane productivity in Kenya has declined despite increased acreage and new cultivars possibly due to use of old-cultivar agronomic inputs. The N-K2O optimal rates for new cultivars are unknown. Kenya Sugar Industry ...
Association of Serumestradiol levels and bone marrow Estrogen receptor densities in acute Myelocytic leukemia patients in Moi teaching and referral hospital, Kenya
(Maseno University, 2016)
Acute Myelocytic Leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the bone marrow characterized by arrested maturation along with uncontrolled proliferation of hematopoietic progenitor cells. Mostly, it affects persons of age 65years and ...
Determination of effective combinations of selected local materials for treatment of borehole water and to compare their effeciency with municipal water treatment technology
(Maseno University, 2016)
Use of contaminated water risks human lives hence should be treated to meet drinking water quality guidelines. The most applied technique is municipal water treatment technology (MWTT) though inaccessible in peri-urban/rural ...
Computational study of the structural, Electronic, optical and thermal properties of Hexagonal and cubic Germanium-antimony-telluride
(Maseno University, 2016)
The electronic, optical and thermal properties of hexagonal and cubic phases of
Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) have been calculated using density functional theory (DFT)

Phytochemical investigations of lonchocarpus eriocalyx (harms), alysicarpus ovalifolius (schumach) and erythrina abyssinica (dc) for antiplasmodial, larvicidal, mosquitocidal and antimicrobial activities
(Maseno University, 2016)
Management of parasitic disease continues to be a burden and a major public health problem the world over today. Malaria is most lethal of the parasitic vector-borne diseases due to drug and vector resistance to the available ...
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; ...
