Heavy Metals Uptake in Maize Grains and Leaves in Different Agro Ecological Zones in Uasin Gishu County
(Scientific Research Publishing Inc., 2017-11-13)
Maize grain is the second most vital food after wheat to humans and forms an important part of a human diet due to its nutrients. In Kenya, it is estimated that one out of every two acres of land put to crop production is ...
Ab-initio Simulations ofCopper Oxide Nanowires and Clusters on TiO2(101)Anatase Surface
(Journal of Physical Chemistry, 2017)
Copper oxides deposited at titania surfaces have a beneficial effect on the photocatalytic activity of TiO2, but their role is not fully understood. In this work, possible nanostructures of copper oxide on TiO2 (101) have ...

(University of Eldoret, 2017)
In this Thesis crystallization of a hard-sphere assembly of fermions with densities ranging from low to high values has been theoretically investigated, the fermions are very close to each other, and the interaction between ...
GENETIC VARIATION IN GROUNDNUT (Arachis hypogaea L) NODULATING RHIZOBIA NATIVE TO PHOSPHORUS DEFICIENT SOILS OF WESTERN KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2017)
Soils in Western Kenya are characterized by high acidity with phosphorus (P) deficiency, affecting nodulation and nitrogen fixation of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.). The objectives of the study were to determine (1) the ...
TO EVALUATE THE OCCURRENCE, PREVALENCE AND DISTRIBUTION OF VARROA MITE (Varroa destructor) AND ASSOCIATED INSECT PESTS OF HONEY BEE (Apis mellifera) IN UASIN GISHU COUNTY, KENYA.
(University of Eldoret, 2017)
The loss of Apis mellifera colonies in recent years has been in many regions of the world been alarmingly high. No single cause has been identified for these losses, but the interactions between several factors (mostly ...
STUDY OF STEADY AND UNSTEADY VISCOUS INCOMPRESSIBLE MHD FLUID FLOW
(University of Eldoret, 2017)
An analytical study of laminar steady, viscous, incompressible Couette fluid flow between two infinite parallel plates under the influence of transverse magnetic field is studied. The resulting governing partial differential ...
