EFFICACY OF FIPRONYL 200 G/L AND TERMIDOR IN CONTROLLING TERMITES.A LABORATORY AND GRAVEYARD TRIAL TEST
(2016-05-18)
Fipronyl is chemical formulations of phenyl pyrazole insecticide acting on the chloride channel of nervous system of insects to hinder chloride metabolism of γ- amino butyric acid of insect’s nervous system. It has good ...
DELAY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION MODEL OF HIV-1 IN VIVO DYNAMICS IN THE PRESENCE OF ARV TREATMENT
(2016-05-18)
ABSTRACT
Many mathematical models have been developed to describe the immunological
response to infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1). The models have
been used to predict the evolutions of HIV-1 in vivo ...
FABRICATION AND CALIBRATION OF LOW COST CAPACITIVE SOIL
(2016-05-19)
ABSTRACT
Soil humidity is critical in crop production and its control is essential to water conservation. The knowledge of soil humidity to majority of farmers in Kenya is based on effects of weather on crops and soil ...
EFFICACIES OF CHLORFENVINPHOS, AMITRAZ AND ALPHACYPERMETHRIN AND THEIR COMBINATIONS ON RHIPICEPHALUS (BOOPHILUS) DECOLORATUS TICKS FROM CATTLE IN NANDI COUNTY, KENYA
(2018)
The one-host tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) decoloratus, is a ubiquitous ectoparasite
of cattle in Nandi County, Kenya. For more than one decade, the County has used
plunge dips to apply, either chlorfenvinphos, amitraz ...
SPATIO -TEMPORAL DISTRIBUTION AND RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH PHLEBOTOMINE SAND FLIES AND LEISHMANIASIS IN Mt. ELGON REGION, KENYA
(2018)
This study determined the spatio–temporal distribution, natural infection and
risk factors associated with phlebotomine sand flies and leishmaniasis in Mt.
Elgon focus in 2015. Collections of sandflies were carried out ...
OPTIMISING A RESTING BOX TO ENHANCE ADULT GRAVID FEMALE MOSQUITOE AUTO-DISSEMINATE LARVICIDE IN A SEMI FIELD
(2018)
Malaria control strategies that target adult mosquitoes are challenged by the emergence of
insecticide resistance and behavioral changes of vectors. The conventional approach of
applying larvicides is limited by high ...
A DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY STUDY OF COPPER OXIDES NANOWIRES AND CLUSTERS ON ANATASE TiO2 (101) SURFACE FOR PHOTOCATALYTIC WATER SPLITTING
(2018)
Copper oxides deposited at titania surfaces have a beneficial effect on the photocatalytic
activity of TiO2, particularly water splitting. However, the role of copper oxides and mechanisms of enhancement remains to be ...
SYNTHESIS, GROWTH AND PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF TITANIUM DIOXIDE NANOTUBES FOR PHOTOCATALYTIC WATER PURIFICATION
(2018)
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalysis is a promising method for decomposition of
organic contaminants in water and belong to new a class of water purification
methods called advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). AOPs ...
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 ...
Genetic diversity and gene flow in Clarias gariepinus from Lakes Victoria and Kanyaboli, Kenya
(African Journal of Aquatic Science 2014, 2014-11)
The African catfish Clarias gariepinus is an important species in the rapidly expanding aquaculture industry in
East Africa. Most Kenyan catfish farmers use stocks with unknown genetic characteristics, with uncertified ...
