PROXIMATE AND ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS EVALUATION OF TWO INDIGENOUS VEGETABLES: COMMELINA AFRICANA AND AMARANTHUS THUNBERGII FROM AINAMOI DIVISION, KERICHO COUNTY
(University of Eldoret, 2016)
In Kenya there are many indigenous leafy vegetables available. Despite this there is inadequate information on their nutritional diversity and how they can best be used in reducing malnutrition. This study was carried out ...
Transformer mineral oil ingestion induces systemic sub-acute toxicity in Wistar rats
(Heliyon, 2019)
We investigated the potential toxicities associated with the sub-acute ingestion of transformer mineral oil (TMO)
at a heated low dose (HLD-50 mg/kg), heated high dose (HHD-500 mg/kg) and unheated high dose (UHD-500
mg/kg) ...
CHARACTERISATION, ANTIFUNGAL AND MOSQUITOCIDAL ACTIVITIES OF MORMODICA FOETIDA LEAF EXTRACTS AND THEIR FORMULATION INTO DROP PILLS.
(University of Eldoret, 2015)
The upsurge in the prevalence of resistance to many synthetic antifungal agents and incidence of multidrug resistant mosquito-borne diseases has spurred scientists to research for new plant-based antifungal and mosquitocidal ...

(University of Eldoret, 2016)
In the last three decades attention has been paid to environmental management caused by hazardous materials such as heavy metals whose levels have risen due to increased anthropogenic activities. One of the techniques used ...
SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL VARIATIONS IN PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PARAMETERS, NUTRIENTS AND HEAVY METALS ALONG A GRADIENT OF ANTHROPOGENIC ACTIVITIES WITHIN KAPSABET RIVER, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
Increased human activities have led to water pollution, especially metals and nutrients. Therefore, prudent management of aquatic environments require information on their quality status that can be estimated by monitoring ...
DETERMINATION OF DIFFUSION COEFFICIENTS OF FOOD ADDITIVES IN DIFFERENT MEDIA AT 25˚C
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
Food additives play a vital role in today’s bountiful and nutritious food supply and their transportation in water is a diffusion process governed by Fickian diffusion laws. The study looks into the rate of diffusion of ...
DIFFUSION OF ASPIRIN-(ACETYLSALICYLIC ACID) BASED DRUGSIN SODIUM HYDROXIDE SOLUTION AT 25C
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
Diffusion is a macroscopic motion of components of a system that arises from concentration difference and plays a vital role in drug migration in the bodygoverned by Fickian diffusion laws. This project considers effective ...
SOIL FERTILITY AMENDEMENT USING MOLASSES WASTEWATER AND PIGWASTE AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON SOIL CHARACTERISTICS AND YIELD OF COWPEAS (Vigna unguiculata)
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
Soil fertility is the number-one natural resource in Africa. However, due to high soil acidity and low fertility, food production has declined over the last decade. A case in point is in Uasin Gishu County, where farmers ...
