Antibiotic Resistance of Escherichia coli from Humans and Black Rhinoceroses in Kenya
(Springer US, 2019-12-07)
Upsurge of antibiotic resistance in wildlife poses unprecedented threat to wildlife conservation. Surveillance of antibiotic resistance at the human–wildlife interface is therefore needed. We evaluated differences in ...
Dewetting Rheology for Determining Viscoelastic Properties of Nonequilibrated Thin Polymer Films
(American Chemical Society, 2019)
We performed systematic dewetting experiments on isotactic poly(para-methylstyrene) (iPpMS) films to explore the temperature dependence of the viscoelastic behavior of these films. We quantified the amount of residual ...
Total electron content and scintillations over Maseno, Kenya, during high solar activity year
(Springer International Publishing, 2019)
Proper characterization of total electron content (TEC) and scintillation is very important to global positioning system (GPS) users in communication, navigation, ionospheric or atmospheric studies. Quiet time variation ...
Antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli from humans and black rhinoceros in Kenya
(Springer Nature, 2019-12-07)
Upsurge of antibiotic resistance in wildlife poses unprecedented threat to wildlife conservation. Surveillance of antibiotic resistance at the human–wildlife interface is therefore needed. We evaluated differences in ...
Assessment of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) contamination in relation to physico-chemical parameters in the Upper River Kuja Catchment, Kenya (East Africa)
(2019)
Concentrations of 17 organochlorine pesticides residues (alpha-HCH, beta-HCH, gamma-HCH, deltaHCH, Heptachlor, Aldrin, Endrin, Endosulfan I, Dieldrin, p,p’-DDT, Endosulfan II, p,p’-DDD, Endrin aldehyde, p,p’-DDE, Endosulfan ...
Evidence of non-DDD pathway in the anaerobic degradation of DDT in tropical soil
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2019-03-01)
DDT transformation to DDD in soil is the most commonly reported pathway under anaerobic conditions. A few instances of DDT conversion to products other than DDD/DDE have been reported under aerobic conditions and hardly ...
Toward a size scale-up cold sintering process at reduced uniaxial pressure
(Journal of America ceramic library, 2019)
Cold sintering is a low-temperature powder process methodology that enables the densification of ceramics and ceramic-based composites at significantly reduced times and temperatures. Although the general notion of required ...
Influence of rainfall amount and livestock grazing on soil respiration in a moist Kenyan savannah
(African Journal of Ecology, 2019)
The influence of livestock grazing and changing rainfall patterns on soil respiration (Rs) in the tropical savannah in Lambwe is unclear. Measurements of Rs using chambers were conducted between June and November 2012 in ...
Patient Characteristics from an Emergency Care Center in Rural Western Kenya
(Elsevier, 2019)
Emergency care is a neglected area of focus in many low- and middle-income countries. There is a paucity of research on types and frequencies of acute illnesses and injuries in low-resource settings.
