MACROPHYTE BASED INDEX OF BIOTIC INTEGRITY FOR MONITORING ECOLOGICAL INTEGRITY OF CHEPKOILEL RIVER SWAMP, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2015)
The study set out to investigate the uses of macrophytes within Chepkoilel river swamp, the impact of those uses on macrophyte community structure and to develop an index for monitoring the ecological integrity of the ...
GENETIC LOCI FOR RESISTANCE TO BLAST (Pyricularia oryzae) POPULATIONS IN IRRIGATED RICE IN KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2015)
Rice (Oryza sativa) is the third most important food crop after maize and wheat in Kenya.
Blast (Pyricularia oryzae) is one of the most destructive and widespread diseases of rice
in Kenya but minimal research attention ...
ANALYSIS OF THE LEVELS OF SELECTED HEAVY METALS IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD BATTERIES RECYCLER PLANT IN ATHI-RIVER, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2015)
The levels of heavy metals in the environment have been increasing in the recent past as a result of human activities. Since toxicity of heavy metals is widely known, their speciation is increasingly attracting attention. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
