DETERMINATION OF DIFFUSION COEFFICIENTS OF FOOD
(2016-05-20)
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 ...
SYNTHESIS OF A PHENYLETHYLTHIOUREA DERIVATIVE AS A POTENTIAL NON-NUCLEOSIDE INHIBITOR OF HIV-1 REVERSE TRANSCRIPTASE
(2016-05-20)
The emergence of resistant strains of HIV-1 towards existing drugs has prompted a search for new compounds with good antiviral activity and favourable toxicological profile. This work reports the synthesis of a PETT ...

HEAVY METALS, PHOSPHATES AND NITRATES LEVELS IN VEGETABLES: A CASE STUDY OF KITALE MUNICIPALITY, TRANS-NZOIA COUNTY, KENYA
(2016-05-20)
Effluents released from sewage treatment plant contain toxic metal pollutants whose uptake by vegetables is governed by their availability and concentration in the soil. Therefore such vegetables may accumulate pollutants ...
POLLUTANT LEVELS IN WASTE WATER FROM TANNERY EFFLUENT: A
(2016-05-19)
Wastewater from leather processing industries is very complex and leads to water pollution if discharged before treatment, especially due to its high organic loading and chromium content. Over the past years, Nakuru Tanners ...
CHARACTERISATION, ANTIFUNGAL AND MOSQUITOCIDAL ACTIVITIES OF MORMODICA FOETIDA LEAF EXTRACTS AND THEIR FORMULATION INTO DROP PILLS.
(2016-05-20)
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 ...
SYNTHESIS, SPECTRAL AND ELECTROCHEMICAL STUDIES OF
(2016-05-19)
In this thesis, the synthesis, characterization and electrochemical studies of monometallic and bimetallic complexes of schiff base ligands have been undertaken. Synthesis of bimetallic complexes initially involved preparation ...
SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL VARIATIONS IN PHYSICO-CHEMICAL
(2016-05-19)
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 ...
SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION OF ZnO NANO PHOTOCATALYSTS AND THEIR APPLICATION IN PHOTOREMEDIATION OF WASTE WATER
(2016-05-19)
Water scarcity and its contamination with toxic metal ions and organic dyes represent a serious worldwide problem in the 21stcentury. Today’s world faces alarming challenges in the rising demand for drinking water and ...
FOUR-BODY NON-ADDITIVITY AND THE TWIST OF B-DNA BASE-PAIR STEPS: A QUANTUM MONTE CARLO AND DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY STUDY
(2018)
The lack of many-body non-additivity consideration in DNA bases is common in a lot of research, yet it contributes significantly to B-DNA molecule dynamism. Previous ab initio studies have shown substantial challenge to ...
