ANALYSIS OF FLUORIDE AND SELECTED HEAVY METALS IN KALES (Brassica oleracea) AND TOMATOES (Lycopersicum esculentum) FROM HORTICULTURAL FARMS IN NAKURU COUNTY, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
Recently field-grown vegetables including curly kales and endive have been reported to accumulate high fluoride levels in their leaves. As vegetables normally form an integral portion of the human diet, the occurrence of ...
A MODIFIED NUCLEAR MODEL FOR BINDING ENERGY OF NUCLEI AND THE ISLAND OF STABILITY
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
A new nuclear model of quantifying binding energy of nuclei is proposed. The nucleus is
assumed to be composed of two regions; the inner core region and surface region. The
inner core is assumed to be composed of Z ...
MODELING THE YIELD OF SOYBEAN (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) USING A FOUR COMPONENT MIXTURE EXPERIMENT IN THE PRESENCE OF VARIATION CREATED BY TWO PROCESS VARIABLES WITHIN SPLIT-PLOT DESIGN
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
Use of mixture design has become well-known in statistical modeling due to its utility in predicting any mixture's response and thus serving as the foundation for optimizing the predicted response on blends of different ...
THE CORRELATION BETWEEN NUCLEON-NUCLEON INTERACTION, PAIRING ENERGY GAP AND PHASE SHIFT FOR IDENTICAL NUCLEONS IN NUCLEAR SYSTEMS.
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
The correlation between nucleon-nucleon interactions 𝑉(𝑟) and the pairing energy gap Δ is studied theoretically. When two nuclear particles collide due to the interaction, they get scattered after approaching within a ...
INVESTIGATION OF MAERUA SHRUB (Maerua subcordata) AND YEASTS FROM FINGER MILLET (Eleusine coracana) FOR PRODUCTION OF CHEAP AND EFFICIENT BIOETHANOL IN KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
Bioethanol is an attractive energy source in comparison to fossil fuels because it is renewable and environmentally friendly. The first generation bioethanol is unsustainable due to high cost of food crops and causes food ...
CHARACTERIZATION OF THE POPULATION OF VECTOR SNAILS FROM MWEA IRRIGATION SCHEME FOR SCHISTOSOMA MANSONI TRANSMISSION
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
Schistosomiasis is recognized as one of major neglected tropical diseases. Freshwater snails of the genus Biomphalaria serve as obligatory intermediate hosts of Schistosoma mansoni. The disease affects more than 249 million ...
MODELING KEY DRIVERS OF UNDER-FIVE CHILD MALNUTRITION IN MARSABIT COUNTY, KENYA USING GENERALIZED LINEAR MODELS
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
Malnutrition remains one of the major problems in developing countries affecting people of all age groups. The severity of the crisis varies among specific groups, such as children under the age of five years. In Kenya, ...
GENOTYPIC VARIATION OF BAMBARA GROUNDNUT (Vigna subterranea L. Verdc) FOR TOLERANCE TO LOW PHOSPHORUS IN ACIDIC SOILS
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
Low available phosphorus (P) in acidic soils limits productivity and growth of Bambara groundnuts.The objectives of this study were to (1) evaluate the growth and yield performance of Bambara genotypes under varying levels ...
ANTI-DERMATOPHYTIC ACTIVITY OF Salvia nilotica METHANOLIC LEAF EXTRACT AGAINST Trichophyton mentagrophytes
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
Conventional medicine used against dermatophytosis has resulted in treatment failure, relapses of the fungal infection and side effects due to its use. Herbalist in the Tugen community in Kenya claim that Salvia nilotica ...
RADIATION EXPOSURE LEVELS AND THEIR POTENTIAL EFFECTS ON DOMESTICATED ANIMALS IN WEST POKOT, KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2021)
Radioactive matter in the earth’s crust and celestial bodies are the main sources of natural radioactive exposure to man and animals. The main contribution to external exposure comes from gamma-emitting radionuclides present ...
