(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 ...
Symmetry conjugates and dynamical properties of the quantum Rabi model
(Cornell University, 2021)
Symmetry transformations have proved useful in determining the algebraic structure and internal
dynamical properties of physical systems. In the quantum Rabi model, invariance under parity symmetry transformation has been ...
2-Hydroxysorangiadenosine: Structure and Biosynthesis of a Myxobacterial Sesquiterpene–Nucleoside
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020)
Myxobacteria represent an under-investigated source for biologically active natural products featuring intriguing structural moieties with potential applications, e.g., in the pharmaceutical industry. Sorangiadenosine and ...
Antioxidant and Free Radical Scavenging Activities of Selected Kenyan Leafy Vegetables
(African Environmental Review Journal, 2020)
Naturally occurring antioxidants found in vegetables and fruits can play a critical role in deactivating free radicals often before they attack biological cells in humans. Indigenous Kenyan vegetables are potential sources ...
Effect of Cercospora piaropi Tharp and Myrothecium roridum Tode Fries Formulated as Corn Oil Emulsion on Water Hyacinth Shoot Growth under Greenhouse Conditions
(Archives of Ecotoxicology, 2021)
A study was done to find out the comparative effect of Cercospora piaropi Tharp and Myrothecium roridum
Tode Fries formulated as corn oil emulsion on water hyacinth shoot growth and biomass under greenhouse
conditions. ...
Edible Insects as New Food Frontier in the Hospitality Industry
(Frontiers, 2021)
Entomophagy has led to the recognition of insects as playing a major role in improving
global environmental health, food, and nutritional security. The processing methods
have shown to greatly affect its acceptance and ...
Comparative Investigation of Fullerene PC 71 BM and Non-fullerene ITIC-Th Acceptors Blended With P3HT or PBDB-T Donor Polymers for PV Applications
(Frontiers, 2021)
Fundamentally, organic solar cells (OSCs) with a bulk-heterojunction active layer are
made of at least two electronically dissimilar molecules, in which photoabsorption in one
(donor) generates Frenkel excitons. The ...
Growth and Gas Exchange Responses of Maize and Banana Plants in an Intercrop with Agroforestry Tree Species in Vihiga County, Kenya
(Asian Journal of Research in Crop Science, 2021)
Agroforestry trees have been reported to improve soil fertility through nitrogen fixation, coupled with leaves and twig decomposition. High human population pressure in Vihiga County has led to reduced land area under ...
Production and characterization of activated carbons from sugarcane bagasse from Chemelil sugar factory, compared with commercial activated carbons
(Journal of Engineering in Agriculture and the Environment, 2020)
In Kenya activated carbon is imported yet we have enough bagasse that can be used in its production. The
activated carbon from bagasse adds economic value to the bagasse and the processing excess bagasse provides
for ...
