Thermodynamic properties of yttrium based cuprate due to electron-cooper pair interaction using BVT
(Open Access Library Journal, 2018-10-15)
Since the discovery of high temperature superconductivity (HTSC), there have been varied results concerning the high pairing energy in the unconventional superconductivity. In an attempt to unearth the mechanism behind the ...
Detection of spatial, temporal and trend of meteorological drought using standardized precipitation index (spi) and effective drought index (edi) in the upper Tana river basin.
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2018-07-17)
Drought events across the world are increasingly becoming a critical problem owing to its negative effects on water resources. There is need to understand on-site drought characteristics for the purpose of planning mitigation ...
Simulation of the hydraulics and treatment performance of horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland treating greywater
(Science Publishing Group, 2018-05-10)
Constructed wetlands (CWs) have evolved as some of reliable wastewater treatment technologies. Various types
of CWs differ in their main design characteristics and in processes responsible for pollutant removal. Classification ...
Evidence of hydrological extremes primarily driven by human land use changes in tropical African basins
(2018-04)
The sensitivity of basins to human alterations on land and their associated hydrological impacts is a subject of on-going research and is particularly poorly understood especially in tropical African basins. Oftentimes ...
Influence of worm infection on immunopathological effect of mycoplasma capricolum capripneumoniae pathogen in goats
(2018)
| Contagious caprine pleuropneumonia, caused by Mycoplasma capricolum capripneumoniae (Mccp), is a highly contagious disease of goats usually with a high morbidity and mortality in naïve goats and a major threat to food ...
Access to water in Kenya’s coast region
(2018)
Water is considered a basic commodity and essential for life - living on planet earth is dependent on it. However, access to water has been and will continue
to be a dilemma for a majority of the residents at the coast ...
The effect of climate change on loss of lake volume: case of sedimentation in central rift valley basin, Ethiopia
(MDPI, 2018-12-11)
Evaluating the impact of climate change on sediment yield has become one of the major
topics in climate research. The purpose of this study was to investigate sediment yield contribution to
lake volume change under ...
Analysis of fecal coliform levels at watering points along the upper reaches of river Isiukhu in Kakamega county, Kenya
(2018-04-24)
Diarrheal diseases often attributable to poor sanitary conditions and fecal contamination of drinking water remain a leading cause of mortality for children younger than five years. Water contaminated with human faeces, ...
Nematode infection depresses humoral immune responses of goats to mycoplasma capricolum subsp. Capripneumoniae vaccine antigens
(Adv. Anim. Vet. Sci., 2018)
| Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capri pneumoniae (Mccp) causes contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP),
a disease of goats characterised with a high morbidity and mortality in non vaccinated goats. The objective of ...
Heavy metal contamination at dumpsites at Eldoret, Kenya, in the lake victoria basin
(East african literature bureau, 2018)
This study assessed the heavy metals concentrations in municipal solid wastes at Eldoret Mwenderi dumpsites located at the shores of river Sosiani within the Lake Victoria Basin, Kenya. Concentrations of the three heavy ...
