TAXONOMY AND NUTRIENT COMPOSITION OF SPECIES IN THE Vernonia hymenolepis A. RICH. COMPLEX IN TROPICAL EAST AFRICA
(University of Eldoret, 2015)
Three Stengelioid species forming a complex in the genus Vernonia Schreber. in Tropical
East Africa viz., Vernonia calvoana (Hook.f.) Hook.f., Vernonia hymenolepis A. Rich.
and Vernonia tolypophora Mattf. were investigated ...
AN INVESTIGATION ON MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMICS FLUID FLOW BETWEEN TWO PARALLEL INFINITE PLATES SUBJECTED TO AN INCLINED MAGNETIC FIELD AND VARYING TEMPERATURES
(University of Eldoret, 2015)
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is the study of electrically conducting fluids in the
presence of magnetic fields. This study examined the motion of a viscous, electrically
conducting and incompressible fluid flowing steadily ...
ACTIVITY OF TEPHROSIA VOGELII CRUDE EXTRACT AGAINST LEISMANIA MAJOR IN EXPERIMENTALLY INFECTED BALB/c MICE
(University of Eldoret, 2016)
Leishmaniasis, a vector-borne disease caused by obligate intra-macrophage protozoa,
is endemic in large areas of the Tropics, Subtropics and the Mediterranean basin and
350 million people are considered at risk. The ...
INVESTIGATION OF ETHREL GAMETOCIDE IN FINGER MILLET (Eleusine coracana, L. Gaertn) HYBRIDS THROUGH GENETIC ANALYSIS
(University of Eldoret, 2015)
Finger millet is a staple food crop of in Africa due to; desirable attributes like being
highly nutritious, good grain storagability and strong cultural value. In Kenya, therefore,
finger millet is on high demand for ...
ROLE OF LONG – RANGE ELECTRON - PHONON AND COULOMB INTERACTIONS IN HIGH - TC CUPRATE SUPERCONDUCTORS
(University of Eldoret, 2016)
Superconductivity is the disappearance of the electrical resistance of certain materials at
certain critical temperatures called transition temperatures. This phenomenon was
discovered in 1911 and is one of the most ...
NUCLEON-NUCLEON INTERACTION IN RHENIUM- 186Re.
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
Properties of nuclear matter and large finite nuclei have been studied using different types
of nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction potential. In this study, focus is on the thermodynamic
properties of a large nucleus of ...
EFFECT OF GRAIN SIZE, BED DEPTH AND RETENTION TIME IN INTERMITTENT BIOSAND FILTERS FOR IMPROVEMENT OF SECONDARY SEWAGE EFFLUENT QUALITY
(University of Eldoret, 2014)
Biosand filtration (BsF) is a simple technique used for pathogen and particle removal
in drinking water purification. It may be adapted for wastewater stabilization but only
a few studies have been done on improvement ...
THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF HIGH TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTORS BASED ON THE t-J-d MODEL
(University of Eldoret, 2015)
Many theories that attempt to describe the superconducting state have suffered significant
failures, leaving the t-J model as the only model which effectively captures the physics of
the strong correlations inherent ...
INTEGRATION OF Allium cepa AQUEOUS EXTRACTS AND FARMYARD MANURES IN THE CONTROL OF Aphis fabae AND Tetranychus evansi INFESTING Solanum nigrum CULTIVARS IN WESTERN KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2016)
The black nightshade, Solanum nigrum Linnaeus (Solanaceae), is a widely distributed tropical plant used as a nutritive vegetable and herbal medicine in East Africa. This plant expresses high levels of secondary metabolites ...
EFFECT OF LABORATORY RESOURCES AVAILABILITY AND USABILITY ON STUDENTS’ ACHIEVEMENT IN PRACTICAL CHEMISTRY IN SOTIK SUB-COUNTY, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2016)
In the years 2010 and 2011, poor results in Chemistry were recorded among
secondary school students in Sotik Sub-County. Lack of efficient use of laboratory
resources was cited as one reason for the poor performance. ...
