(African Journal of Food, Agriculture, Nutrition and Development, 2014)Fresh fru its provide vitamins A and C which are anti-oxidants and other phytochemicals that form a healthy diet and lower the risk of cancer and chronic heart diseases. Kenya’s horticulture production provides 3.82 ... -
Microbial assessment of selected earthen fish ponds in western Kenya
(Elsevier, 2013-01-01)Water-borne infections are among the most recent emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases throughout the world. WHO estimates that 80% of all illnesses in the world are caused by water-borne disease pathogens that ... -
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa Water, Bungoma, Kenya
(INNSPUB, 2020)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. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing ... -
Microgeographic variations in Burkitt's lymphoma incidence correlate with differences in malnutrition, malaria and Epstein–Barr virus
(British journal of cancer 103, 2010)Background: Endemic Burkitt's lymphoma (eBL) has been associated with Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) and holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum malaria. But recent evidence suggests that other risk factors are involved. Methods: We ... -
Microplastics as Emerging Contaminants: Occurrence, Toxicology, and Analysis
(IG1 Global publishers of timely knowledge, 2020)The ever-increasing production of plastics and concomitant poor plastic waste disposal systems explain the recent rising concerns over the occurrence of microplastics in freshwater resources. Microplastics are presently ... -
Microstructural and Elastic Properties of Stable Aluminium-rich TiAl and TiAl2 Formed Phase Intermetallics
(North-Holland, 2021)We studied aluminium-rich Ti-Al (Ti32Al68 and Ti40Al60) binary alloys that were composed of TiAl and TiAl2 lamellar microstructures. The law of mixtures was employed in calculating the theoretical Young’s moduli. The lattice ... -

Modelling Stratified Flow in an Inclined Flow Channel with a Bend
(International Scientific Press, 2013-07-01)Multi-phase flows modelling in wellbore has always been a problem to the petroleum and many other industries. In the petroleum industry, correlations are presently in use, most of which are obsolete as their application ... -
Moderating Effect of Tourism Bnetworks on Tbackward Linkage with Local Micro and Small Enterprises in Kisumu County.
(Sinop University, 2020)The study aimed to establish whether the effect of physical location and type of tourism enterprises, on extent of tourism backward linkage with local enterprises in Kisumu County was moderated by business networks established ... -
Molecular Characterization of Global Finger Millet (Eleusine coracana, L. Gaertn) germplasm Reaction to Striga in Kenya
(Maseno University, 2018)Finger millet (Eleusine coracana, L. Gaertn) is an important food crop in Africa and Asia. The parasitic weed Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth limits finger millet production through reduced yield in agro-ecologies where ... -
Molecular Diversity of a Seemingly Altitude Restricted Ustilago kamerunensis Isolates in Kenya: A Pathogen of Napier Grass
(American Journal of Molecular Biology, 2018-04-27)The Central region of Kenya which is the second largest market oriented dairy zone, faces a threat in milk production. The challenge is a disease known as the napier head smut caused by Ustilago kamerunensis. This fungal ... -
Molecular diversity, geographic distribution and host range of monocot-infecting mastreviruses in Africa and surrounding islands
(Elsevier, 2017)Maize streak virus (MSV), an important pathogen of maize in Africa, is the most extensively studied member of the Mastrevirus genus in the family Geminiviridae. Comparatively little is known about other monocot-infecting ... -
Monitoring the occurrence and distribution of selected organophosphates and carbamates pesticide residues in the ecosystem of Lake Naivasha, Kenya
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-08-07)Although use of pesticides is critical in agricultural production, their residues present a potential risk to non-target organisms and lower the quality of surface water. In Kenya for instance, widespread use of pesticides ... -
