Hydrothermal crystallization of zeolite catalysts using kaolin and volcanic ash materials for biodiesel synthesis from Jatropha curcas and waste cooking oils
(Maseno university, 2022)
Although biodiesel is a promising alternative source of energy, the cost of its production remains high because of the use of expensive feedstocks and catalysts. Zeolites derived from clay and volcanic ash as alternative ...
Genome-wide comparative study of epstein-barr virus genomic recombination in endemic burkitt lymphoma and healthy children from jootrh, western Kenya
(Maseno university, 2022)
Endemic Burkitt lymphoma (eBL), the most prevalent pediatric cancer in Western Kenya, is augmented by the interplay between Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and holoendemic malaria infection. Despite the relevance of genomic ...
Photon Anti-Bunching Properties of the Anti-Jaynes-Cummings Model
(Maseno university, 2021)
This thesis present anti-Jaynes interaction, an interaction where anti-rotating light mode
couples to a two-level atom. The anti-bunching properties of the anti-Jaynes-Cummings
model was explicitly demonstrated, a model ...
Residual diazinon in brassica oleracea var. Acephala and influence of application conditions on its levels in Kimira-oluch smallholder farmers improvement project, Kenya
(Maseno university, 2021)
Use of pesticides in agriculture often causes residual effects on crops with potential health risks. Diazinon, a synthetic pesticide whose dietary exposures have been associated with human health impacts is popular in the ...
The functional associations between il-4 -589t/c and Il-6 -636g/c promoter polymorphisms and paediatric Severe malarial anaemia in a holoendemic area of Western Kenya
(Maseno university, 2009)
Plasmodium falciparum, the most virulent and lethal human malaria parasite, IS
responsible for most malaria-related morbidity and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. It
manifests mainly as severe malarial anaemia (SMA) in ...
Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of salmonella Isolated from Nile tilapia (Oreochromis ni/otics, L.) Along lake Victoria beaches in western Kenya
(Maseno university, 2009)
Enteritis induced by nontyphoidal Salmonella represents major economic and social
problems. Chemotherapeutic selection may have additional consequences for
virulence evolution through acquisition of linked virulence ...
Binding of opsonized immune complexes to Erythrocyte crlicd35 inhibits TNF-a production by restricting immune complex uptake by macro phages
(Maseno university, 2008)
Previous studies have shown that children suffering from severe malaria have elevated
concentrations of TNF-a, increased levels of circulating immune complexes (ICs) and
decreased levels of complement regulatory proteins ...
Apoptotic machinery in plasmodium falciparum Growing in a continuous culture
(Maseno university, 2009)
Apoptosis and indeed metacaspase have not been sufficiently evaluated to show their role
in Plasmodium Jalciparum. To study apoptosis, synchronized P. Jalciparum cultures were
initiated at a parasitemia of 0.5 % at 5 % ...
HEMATOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS AS ALTERNATIVE MARKERS OF STOCKING DENSITY- INDUCED STRESS IN CULTURED NILE TILAPIA, (Oreochromis niloticus Linnaeus, 1758) UNDER CULTURE CONDITIONS.
(Maseno University, 2022)
Fish and fisheries play a significant role in meeting nutritional food security, more so of the poor communities in the low and middle income countries (LMIC).Oreochromis niloticusisone the most valuable warm water fishes ...
Geomagnetic field variations at African equatorial regions during the ascending phase of the solar cycle 24
(Maseno University, 2022)
The Earth’s magnetic field is the field of force that extends from the interior of the Earth to the outer space where it interconnects with the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF). It is characterized by regular and irregular ...
