A survey of the applications and use of ethnomedicinal plants and plant products for healthcare from the ukambani region in Eastern Kenya
(IJEPP, 2016-01-01)
The Akamba people of Kenya have a long history of ethnobotany, dating back to the pre-colonial era. Building on the Akamba’shistorical businesses involving the trade of various plants and plant products called ‘Miti,’ ...
Determination of tannin concentrations in african indigenous vegetables, grains and cassava roots from Emuhaya District, western Kenya
(Sciknow Publications Ltd : American Journal of Nutrition and Food Science, 2014-01-01)
The studyevaluated tanninconcentrations in four vegetables, three grains and cassava roots as the most common foodstuffs in the diet of local communities from Emuhaya district in western Kenyaand their nutritional health ...
Characterization and evaluation of repellent effect of essential oil of mangifera indica l. from Kenya
(Journal of Essential Oil Bearing Plants, 2013-03-12)
Ethnopharmacologically, the mango has a lot of applications in life in humanhealth and ethnoveterinary medicines since ancient times. The study aimed at characterizing theessential oil of Mangifera indica L. leaves and ...
Nutrient reduction in runoff water from sugarcane farms by sedimentation method
(Environmentalist Journal, 2012-09-02)
Due to intensive use of agronomic inputs in sugarcane farming, runoff water from these farms is loaded with high concentrations of nutrients. These nutrients find their way into rivers, lakes and sinks, eutrophicating them. ...
Sorption and Availability of Potassium in selected Soils from Kenya: Effects of organic matter and pH on concentration of adsorbed potassium in sugarcane and maize growing zones
(Lambert Academic Publishing, 2013-01-01)
Potassium fertilizers have been found to increase yields of food crops in soils of Kenya and the world. The availability of potassium in maize and sugarcane growing soils in Kenya is unknown and this could be causing the ...
EDXRF spectroscopic elemental analysis for efficacy of Kibabii University sewage treatment System
(Open Access Library Journal, 2018-10-18)
Elemental analysis of sewage effluents in Kibabii sewage treatment system was achieved via Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) spectroscopy with the aim of assessing the efficacy of the treatment system. Concentrations ...
Specific heat and entropy of a three electron model in bismuth based cuprate superconductor
(Science Publishing Group : World Journal of applied physics, 2018-06-11)
A theoretical study considering Bi2201, Bi2212 and Bi2223 bismuth based cuprates whose critical Temperatures (TC) are 20K, 95K and 110K with one, two and three CuO2 planes respectively; based on a three electron model in ...
Internal energy of a grand canonical ensemble of a mixture of helium isotopes with duo-fermion spin degeneracy
(Centre for Info Biotechnology-IJPMS, 2015-12-01)
We have considered a system consisting of a mixture of helium isotopes 3He-4He interacting weakly in pairs. The partition function of the system with duo-spin and varying number of bosons and fermions is developed to bring ...
Effect of duo fermion spin on the specific heat and entropy of a mixture of helium isotopes
(Journal of Multidisciplinary Engineering Science and Technology (, 2018-10-01)
Spin normally determines the character, rate of collision and subsequently the properties of ultracold systems. This study investigated the effect of double spin degeneracy on the thermodynamic properties of Helium-3 and ...
Long term assessment of aerosol radiative forcing over selected sites of East Africa
(scientific Research Publishing, 2018-03-08)
Atmospheric aerosols have contributed to radiative forcing through direct and indirect mechanisms. Aerosol effects are important in computing radiative forcing estimates for the past, current and future climate. In this ...
